3/25/2026
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.
