An Amber Alert has been initiated for Sophia Martha Franklin, a 16-year-old who is currently three months pregnant and missing since the weekend from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. As detailed by NBC Chicago, she was last seen around 9 p.m. on Sunday at her residence. Authorities have expressed concern that she may be in the company of 40-year-old Gary Day, who is not only the father of her unborn child but also legally restrained from contact with her due to a no-contact order.
According to information provided by the police, the vehicle possibly used in the disappearance is a black 2014 Buick LaCrosse, which has alternated between multiple license plates. CBS News has reported its most recent plates as originating from Arkansas and Pennsylvania, with the respective numbers BBR 20L and KGW5186. The teen, Sophia, is described as having blue eyes and brown hair, standing approximately 5 feet 9 inches, and weighing nearly 189 pounds. Day, the adult male she is presumed to be with, has blond hair, and green eyes, stands about 5-feet-7 inches tall, and weighs around 165 pounds.
Authorities are urging anyone with pertinent information to come forward and help in locating Sophia. They have suggested that individuals contact the Beaver Dam Police Department at 920-887-4612 or the Amber Alert tip line directly at 888-304-3936, as per CBS News.
