Francisquini is believed to be armed and dangerous, according to the FBI.
This past weekend, Camilla was laid to rest in a private ceremony surrounded by her family and loved ones.
Last week, Naugatuck police revealed more information about the case and Police Chief C. Colin McAllister called the crime "horrific and gruesome." The baby girl died of neck compressions and stab wounds, police said. Her death has been ruled a homicide.
McAllister said it is one of the most difficult and trying cases they have ever had to investigate.
Police said Francisquini and the baby's biological mother had been involved in a dispute in Waterbury before Naugatuck police were called and that is when Francisquini's GPS monitor was removed in what police was an effort to evade law enforcement.
Francisquini lived in the home on Millville Avenue with his daughter, according to police.
The car Francisquini was believed to be driving was found abandoned on Interstate 91 in New Haven near exit 8. Officers searched the area of Foxon Boulevard but didn't find him.
Francisquini is 6-feet tall and weighs 230 pounds. Police said he is known to law enforcement and has an extensive criminal history that spans a decade. He was on special parole and a tracking device has been cut off, police said.
Anyone with information Francisquini's whereabouts is asked to call Naugatuck Police Department at (203) 729-5221 or through the confidential tip line at (203) 720-1010.
