Jennifer Kay Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna Nikol Wix, disappeared over 20 years ago from Cross Plains, Tennessee.

Jennifer was a strong-willed, loving young mother with dreams of working in equestrian therapy. Adrianna, her bright blue-eyed little girl, adored animals and brought joy to everyone she met. Their disappearance in March 2004 shattered their family and has left a void in the community ever since.

Jennifer’s sister, Casey, and mother, Kathy, are tirelessly fighting for justice for Jennifer and Adrianna.

We are honored to welcome them to AdvocacyCon as our first recipient of an IAF Scholarship.
