26:21Now PlayingThis week, our "Missing" series looks at the case of Jennifer and Adrianna Wix. It's been 22 years since the young mother and toddler vanished in Tennessee. Family reported Jennifer missing in March 2004, and has always been suspicious of her boyfriend, Joey Benton, who was the last person to see Jennifer and Adrianna alive.
Jennifer's family is now filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the Benton family. Deputies officially ruled her death a homicide in 2013, and new clues are hoping to bring closure to a family who's been fighting for decades for answers. This week, NewsNation's Marni Hughes is joined by Jules Thorp, host of the podcast "Missing in Hush Town" — the true crime investigative podcast focusing on what happened to Jennifer and Adrianna.
