Missing Pregnant Teen Safe in Nebraska, Suspect Arrested

Sophia Franklin, a 16-year-old pregnant teenager from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, has been found safe after being missing for two months. Authorities located her near Omaha, Nebraska, after a tip from a couple at a truck stop, leading to the arrest of 40-year-old Gary Day, who is suspected to be the father of her unborn child. An Amber Alert was initially issued after Franklin disappeared on February 2, prompting extensive efforts from law enforcement across multiple states. Franklin was taken to a secure facility for evaluation before reuniting with her family, who had been anxiously awaiting news, especially on her 17th birthday. Day faces multiple charges, including contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child enticement, with a history of prior legal issues. The details surrounding their disappearance and the circumstances of their recovery are still being investigated by the Beaver Dam Police Department.
