OMAHA, Neb. (WFRV) – Sophia Franklin, a pregnant teenager from central Wisconsin who was reported missing two months ago, was found safe in Nebraska late Wednesday night, and officers say the 40-year-old man she was reportedly with was taken into custody.

According to the Beaver Dam Police Department, officers were contacted by the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office in Nebraska around 11:40 p.m. on April 2.

Authorities in Nebraska told Wisconsin officers they got a tip about someone seeing Sophia near Omaha, Nebraska.

After law enforcement contacted the girl and the man she was with, who matched the descriptions provided in the AMBER Alert, Sophia was safely moved to a secure facility, and the man, Gary Day, was taken into custody.

Day is reportedly the father of the child.

The Beaver Dam Police Department would like to thank the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the numerous other law enforcement agencies that put forth the time and effort to locate Sophia. We would also like to thank the community members in multiple states for their awareness and willingness to share leads to follow to help bring Sophia safely home.
