Missing Wix Girls /// Part 2 /// 916

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

The love between a mother and daughter should be sacred shelter; an untouchable sanctuary that no evil can penetrate. In March 2004, that safe haven would be forever shattered for Jennifer Wix and her daughter, Adrianna. The two have been missing since March 25, 2004. The mystery of the missing Wix girls not only exemplifies the boundless love shared between of mothers and daughters, but also depicts a family scarred by untold grief and lingering, unanswered questions. The agony of spending the last 21 years without Jennifer and Adrianna has kept the family stuck in the past - unable to move forward, yet determined to keep fighting until the truth is finally brought to light, and returning the girls back home. With the 22nd anniversary of the girls' disappearance fast approaching, perhaps this will finally be the year we can lay the girls to rest among their loved ones. If anyone has information about the disappearance of Jennifer and Adrianna Wix, contact the Robertson County Sheriff’s Department at 615-384-7981, or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
