Police also released new pictures as well as security camera footage of 40-year-old Gary Day of Arkansas, from the day the Amber Alert was issued (see above). Investigators think Franklin could be with Day in a Black Buick Lacrosse with a Pennsylvania license plate.

Leah believed her daughter was close by the Beaver Dam area. Then, a bomb shell. In December, a probationary officer in Arkansas checking up on Day found the 16-year-old Sophia living with him. "It was just sheer panic like I've never felt before," said Leah Franklin. Sophia returned home in time for the holidays, revealing she's pregnant.
