The search for missing pregnant 16-year-old Sophia Franklin continues with no signs of her whereabouts, despite the release of surveillance video showing 40-year-old Gary Day, the father of her unborn child, pacing around her home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. The video, dated February 3, shows Day on the driveway and front porch of Franklin's home, where he is known to have been in contact with her despite a no-contact order. Franklin was last seen at her home on February 2 at 9 p.m., and her disappearance has sparked an AMBER Alert across Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Missouri.

According to investigators, Day has a history of child endangerment and is currently facing two counts of child enticement and child abduction in Dodge County, Wisconsin. He also has a warrant out for his arrest for violating his parole from a child endangerment charge involving his son in 2019. The surveillance video shows Day's movements on the morning of February 3, which is believed to be the last time he was seen. Franklin's family has been searching for her and has made public pleas for her safe return, expressing their concern for her well-being and the wellbeing of her unborn child.

The investigation has revealed that Franklin and Day had been in contact online since April 2024, and Day had driven to Wisconsin in July to secretly pick her up. For six months, Franklin's family believed she was staying with a friend, but in reality, she was living with Day in Arkansas. When Franklin returned home to Wisconsin, her family thought things were getting back on track, but her disappearance has left them anxious and worried. The family has described Franklin as a smart and hard-working teenager who enjoys music and sports, and they are urging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward.

Authorities have released a description of the vehicle believed to be used by Day and Franklin, a 2014 black Buick LaCrosse with multiple license plates, including an Arkansas plate and a Pennsylvania plate. Franklin's family has also provided a description of her, including her height, weight, hair color, and eye color, as well as a distinctive rose gold ring with a pink heart-shaped gem on her left hand. The search for Franklin continues, with authorities urging anyone with information to contact the Beaver Dam Police Department or local authorities immediately.
