"they are not alive - JB - will confess murder after next killing - Jennifer mentioned on phone call she was in danger and what JB could do - 316 weather vein"
"not the child's father - it was easy for him - she did not want to go -"
"he buried the bodies with a snow shovel sold at Wal-Mart - look south 5 miles - dogs can find the bodies - S5 get a warrant to search"
Note: I'm wrong all the time, and I hope I'm wrong about this case too.

Regarding Jennifer and Adrianna Wix a lot of your RV details match (below in yellow). So I guess now it would be important to look south 5 miles "- dogs can find the bodies - S5 get a warrent to search", like you said. Do you know if someone has told this info to the police?

Hello,
Yes, several times...no response...which is normal.
Thanks for sending me this, and will post it.

That Ugly Green House? It's Mine | Main | October 18, 2005
Jennifer Wix moved with her two year old daughter to her boyfriend's family compound on an 80 acre farm outside of Cross Plains, Tennessee in August of 2003. She had told her mother that she had found her "prince". Her boyfriend's entire family lived in this remote compound, aunts, uncles, grandparents. They were rather reclusive and did not like outsiders.
Jennifer's relationship with her boyfriend turned sour quickly, though and her mother moved to the area to be closer to Jennifer and help her get through this time. Jennifer had told her family members that her boyfriend had made some threatening remarks to her.
On Thursday, March 25, 2004, Jennifer's boyfriend claimed they argued and he drove her to a nearby gas station close to the interstate. He claimed she got into the backseat of a white four door car with Adrianna. He also said he did not see the driver of the car or what direction they were headed. The car was alternately a white Mustang, a white Camaro and eventually, probably along the time the boyfriend realized that neither Mustangs nor Camaros come with four doors, the car became a Grand Prix.
The boyfriend claimed that Jennifer came back the next day, driving the same car, without Adrianna with her.
Jennifer did not take any personal belongings either for herself or Adrianna. She had no money with her, no ID.
His family will not allow their property to be searched, although it is the last place Jennifer and Adrianna were seen. Although the Robertson County sheriff's department never said they suspected foul play, the case is listed as a criminal investigation. They have never pushed the boyfriend's family to search the property thoroughly. At one point, a volunteer search was organized and at the last minute, the family backed out.
The boyfriend does not have a great reputation, according to rumors. In an unrelated incident, when he was placed in the back of a police car, he allegedly kicked out the back window and had to be hog tied. He didn't have a regular job, yet always had a wad of cash. Allegedly, he was working for his family building a home and being paid in cash.
Even if you follow missing persons cases, this may have been one you haven't heard about. Kathy, Jennifer's mother and Adrianna's grandmother, has pushed very hard to get some national attention focused on this case, to very little avail. Finally, it will be featured on Montel Williams on Friday, October 21.
The link below features pictures of both Jennifer and Adrianna.
Jennifer and Adrianna Wix
I so want to catch Montel on Friday. Is there any way you could get a tape made, and ship it around?
Lisa, I think it's wonderful that you have taken on this very worthy case. I hope you get something going. I wish there was some way that Kathy could mention your blog on Montel's show so others could read your entry for information.
Thanks for this report Lisa. I too hope I am able to see Montel on Friday.
I assume Adriana is the daughter of the boyfriend?
Certainly seems suspicious that LE hasn't pursued this more aggressively, or should I say at all?
Adrianna is not the boyfriend's daughter. Jennifer and her boyfriend had only been together 8 months when Jennifer and Adrianna disappeared. Adrianna was two at the time. Sorry for not making that more clear.
Adrianna Wix
Wednesday, March 24, 2004 was not like any other day. Two-year-old Adrianna was in her bedroom, unaware of all that was happening. Her mother, 22-year-old Jennifer Wix and her live-in boyfriend, William Joseph Benton, were involved in a heated argument. That night, a very upset Jennifer called her mother, Kathy Holloway.
"She was upset," said Kathy, "and I offered to come and get her, but she felt she could handle the situation." That was the last time Kathy heard from her daughter. Adrianna and Jennifer had disappeared.
That Saturday, Kathy Holloway contacted the Robertson County Sheriff's Department to report she had not heard from or seen her daughter and grandchild since Wednesday. "We just want to hear from her," said Kathy. "We wish she would get in contact with us so we would know that she's all right. I just want her to call and say Mom, I'm not missing, I'm okay. If that's what it is, that's all I want to hear. She don't have to say where she's at if she doesn't want us to know. If she wants to be alone, just let us know." Jennifer is very close to her family and always stayed in touch with them two or three times a week. It was not like her to not let them know her whereabouts.
Local authorities treated the case as a missing persons case and immediately questioned Benton about Adrianna and her Jennifer. Initially, Benton reported that he last saw the missing child and mother on Thursday when she left with a friend he did not know. Benton changed his story upon further questioning and told the authorities he dropped off Adrianna and Jennifer at an Exxon gas station around 9:30 that evening, but he could not remember which station it was. The more he was questioned the more Benton's stories continued to change. Investigators from the sheriff's office followed up on every lead Benton provided, but only met dead-ends. Twenty-three-year-old Benton was released but has not been dismissed as a suspect.
As the weeks passed, posters and fliers were circulated throughout the county and a mass search was conducted. Friends, family members, neighbors and residents were questioned, with the hopes of gaining leads on Adrianna and her mother's whereabouts. Cadaver dogs were even used to search Benton's family's property and surrounding woods. "An intense and extensive investigation has been executed and is still underway," reported the Robertson County Sheriff's Office.
It has been five moths since Adrianna and her mother disappeared. Adrianna's entire family has been making public pleas for the safe return of her and Jennifer. They even hired private detectives to investigate the case. Adrianna goes by the nickname Nina and has a birth mark on her thigh. A $15,000 Reward is being offered for any information leading to the recovery of Adrianna and Jennifer Wix. Anyone with information should immediately contact the Robertson County Sheriff's Department, Detective Mike Carlyle ( 615-384-7971). Or call Texas EquuSearch (281-309-9500, toll-free 877-270-9500).

I know that you are very busy, but I wanted to come back to you and ask if you can please do another RV for my daughter and grandaughter, Jennifer and Adrianna Wix. I finally have some help to follow up and look where you directed in your first RV and we are wondering about any other information that you may can receive. There is also a possibility of a wide scale large search for the girls in the next few weeks and your help would be appreciated. Please let me know if you are able to help.

Hello,
Certainly, I would be happy to...I'll try and have something else posted tomorrow, and will let Gale know too.
Brian
Gale, this is from last night...please take a look. I looked up this case on the internet, and it says police do not suspect foul play...if this is true, then I think I must be picking up on someone else. Anyway, this is the DD and what I found of G Earth that might be related/

Jennifer and Adrianna were last seen in Cross Plains, TN on March 25, 2004. Jennifer resided with her boyfriend and his family. She had voiced her concerns about her living situation with her mother in the days previous to her and Adrianna's disappearances. Her boyfriend told the family that he and Jenn had argued on the Thursday evening and that he took her to the interstate exit nearby, (I-65 N exit 112). He told us that she asked him to leave but he decided to pull across the street and make sure she was meeting someone. She waited for five or ten minutes and then got into the backseat of a white four door car. He was very vague in the description of the automobile and said he did not see the person in the car or which direction they went. His statement is that Jennifer returned to his home on Friday afternoon, without Adrianna, driving the car she had gotten into the night before for her income tax return that was to be in that day. His parents were not home to give her the money so she left and said she would return on Saturday to get it. To my knowledge she has not returned for it. On Saturday, March 27, 2004 when she did not return we reported Jennifer and Adrianna missing. Jennifer has no car, no money, and did not take any clothes or personal items with her. There is an open police investigation and the detectives suspect no foul play
"by 7 church * underground covered in lye and seed * 2 miles from home"
"bridge on D Road, painted number 4"
Assuming their home was in Cross Plains, TN, these bridges maybe what the DD mentions.

Gale, please look at this...police now suspect something....Brian

Thank you Brian.........I so appreciate your help! I noticed that you read that the police do not suspect foul play, but you should know that has changed and last year they released their statement that the girls were, "Missing and Presumed dead". So anything that you have is helpful. Can you tell me what you think that the 7 and the D mean in your RV? Also, can you tell me what if any feeling you may have about Adrianna, my grandaughter......do you think that she is with her Mommy?
We think the 7 could be Seventh-day Adventist Church, and the D could be the first letter in the street name.
I do not know about the rest...did you contact Gale, she had told me she wanted to speak with with you on the phone.
This is here email address
