Found Safe WI - SMF, 16, Beaver Dam, 2 Feb 2025 *3 mo's pregnant, believed to be with 40-year-old father of the baby*

[Goecke]

Incredibly similar case from Tennessee last week: TN - Newborn in trash bag found in dumpster, girl, 16, gave birth on way to hospital, Memphis, 27 Jan 2025 *arrest*
Pregnant 16 year old, 45 year old father who had been in a "relationship" with the girl for years... Baby ends up dead in a gas station dumpster.

Needless to say, I'm very worried for Sophia.

 

[Knox]

She was last seen on Sunday night, Feb 2, 9 pm at her residence.

He was last seen Monday morning, Feb 3, approx 8 am at her residence.

She is 16. Who does she live with? How did Day get access to her?

His last seen is likely when he picked her up in the black car that was released in photos ? Her last seen is probably the last time her parents saw her the night before?

 

[MissMalowe]

This guy is clearly very problematic. I wonder how they met?

All of the prior arrests mentioned upthread took place in Arkansas.

Thats 10 hours from Wisconsin

 

[swanniee11]

His license plate is from Arkansas too! I hope they are checking on the other YOUNG woman and child. IMO

 

[truthfinder2019]

Indeed if you google, from public records it would seem he lives in Arkansas . All info says LE believe they are heading south, so makes sense. However, I doubt they would go to his known address.

Yes, see earlier posts from yesterday right after the thread started as it's now a DV case with that then wife also. It seems to actually possibly be two different incidents with her.

 

[Megnut]

Please, please, please, I hope he goes straight to a known address. He needs to be arrested yesterday and she needs to be protected from this seasoned predator. Yikes.

Please let her and her baby be safe.

Excuse me?! This is insane. Poor girl(s).

And now that she's missing, everyone knows that a) she's pregnant at 16; and b) the father of her baby is a 40-year-old bald pedophile. How does a 40-year-old man even meets a 16-year-old girl, let alone get her pregnant?

I really, really, really hope that Sophie left her house walking instead of being carried, if you know what I mean.

 

[PNW]

A neglectful father, an abusive husband, and now potentially a PEDO!!!

Potentially?

 

[tlcya]

She was last seen on Sunday night, Feb 2, 9 pm at her residence.

He was last seen Monday morning, Feb 3, approx 8 am at her residence.

She is 16. Who does she live with? How did Day get access to her?

Exactly especially since there is a no contact order. Unless maybe he was seen by ring camera and not a responsible adult witness live in real time?
--------------------------
She is believed to be with Gary Day, who was last seen at her residence at 7:48 a.m. Monday, Feb. 3.
AMBER ALERT: Police searching for pregnant 16-year-old from Beaver Dam

ETA due to the exact time described in the article above, I think he is on video at her home, probably pulling up to pick her up out front or something like that.

 

[sunflowermomma]

No words, full of rage at this one. They need to put her face on billboards so people can be notified across statelines quickly. MOO.

 

[HmmMysterious]

Potentially?

Sorry, idk why I put that.

 

[tlcya]

how on earth did this predator meet Sophia to begin with? The web?

Does he live in the area or did he travel from out of state to impregnate her?? His previous crimes were in southern states so it is a good bet he is taking her back south. What is it about this guy? He's gross and I can't imagine he has much to offer a woman. How does he convince a teen he is a catch??

 

[Lusitana]

Was she going to school as of late?

 

[Ontario Mom]

Potentially?

Technically, adults with an interest in teens aren't pedophiles (even though almost all of us call them that, myself included).
Pedos prefer pre-pubescent children where ephebophiles prefer teenagers. Not that it really matters that much, this guy is clearly a predatory monster & should be in jail.

I hope Sophia is found safe, and quickly.

IMO... Something keeps jumping out at me as to how they could have met, he has a criminal background, he's 40, possibly from another state. I keep thinking church or a retreat that he could have volunteered at. I have nothing to point me this way but it keeps popping into my head on how they could have met other then online and there isn't much out there on these 2.
