The search for two girls from North Carolina intensifies as we learn that one of the girls is pregnant.
Eleven-year-old Sierra Hess and her 12-year-old sister, Keara, who is pregnant, have been missing since Wednesday.
They are believed to be with their adoptive father, Matthew Hess, who left a note for their mother saying he was taking the girls to school that day. But they never arrived for class.
The girls' mother says 12-year-old Keara is nine months pregnant and needs medical attention.
