CONCORD, N.H. — The search for Harmony Montgomery, a New Hampshire girl
who disappeared in 2019 at age 5 but was not reported missing until late
last year, is now considered a homicide investigation, authorities said
Thursday.

Authorities have concluded that Harmony was murdered, New Hampshire
Attorney General John Formella said at a news conference.

"Our commitment to bringing Harmony home has not wavered, nor will it,"
said Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg.

Police first became aware that Harmony might be missing when they received
a call from the girl's mother, Crystal Sorey, in November. She had been
unsuccessfully trying to locate the girl for months, police said.

Police said they contacted Harmony's father, Adam Montgomery, and other
family members by the end of December. According to court documents,
police told him that Harmony had not been seen in more than two years and
there was concern over whether she was still alive.

Harmony's father and stepmother, who have since pleaded not guilty to
charges related to her well-being, told police that Adam brought Harmony
to be with her mother in Massachusetts around Thanksgiving 2019. Her
mother said she last saw her daughter during a phone video conversation at
around Easter that year.

In January, police said they believed that Harmony had disappeared between
Nov. 28-Dec. 10, 2019.

Adam Montgomery, 31, was indicted in March on an assault charge alleging
that he struck Harmony in the face in July 2019. He pleaded not guilty and
has been in jail since January.

Kayla Montgomery, 32, was charged with theft by deception after police
said she falsely claimed that her stepdaughter was living with her in
order to collect welfare benefits. She has pleaded not guilty and was
released on bail.

Law enforcement agencies searched the couple's former home on June 14.
They completed a separate search on Jan. 10 of a home in Manchester that
was the girl's last known residence.

A girl who was missing for two years before police found out appears to have been killed in late 2019, prosecutors said Thursday — a tragic turn in a saga that has commanded the attention of New Hampshire residents for months and prompted widespread speculation about the child’s fate.

Police have been looking for Harmony Montgomery, who was 5 when she went missing, since late last year, when her mother said the girl was supposed to be in Harmony’s father’s care. The search has now led officials to conclude that the girl was “murdered” in Manchester, N.H., in early December 2019, although her remains have not been found, said New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella (R).

“At this point, while Harmony’s remains have not yet been located, we do have multiple sources of investigative information, including just recently confirmed biological evidence, that have led us to this difficult and tragic conclusion,” he told reporters.


Officials did not provide any other details, including whether they have identified a suspect or person of interest, and did not answer questions about what they said is now a homicide investigation. No one has been charged in Harmony’s disappearance.

The case has raised questions about the child-welfare system in Massachusetts, where Harmony lived before a judge transferred her to the custody of her father, a New Hampshire resident with a violent criminal history. An investigative report issued by Massachusetts officials in May concluded that every state entity involved in Harmony’s care failed to prioritize her safety.

“I know that over the past eight months that there have been many discussions, speculation and questions relative to where the system failed Harmony,” Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg said at Thursday’s news conference. “And I myself continue to share the same concerns and still have many remaining questions. However, the homicide of this little girl rests with the person or persons who committed this horrific act.”

She went missing two years before police found out. Her father is now charged with assault.

Blair Miller, the adoptive father of Harmony’s brother, said his family will always question why decisions were made to reunite Harmony with her father and not to require visits with her brother, Jamison.


“Had those visits been in place, and the sibling relationship been protected as the law requires, we would likely be sharing a much different story and outcome,” Miller said in a statement.

After authorities realized in December that Harmony was missing, New Hampshire prosecutors charged Harmony’s father, Adam Montgomery, with second-degree assault, two counts of endangering a child’s welfare and interference with custody. A relative had allegedly seen Harmony with a black eye and told police that Montgomery had admitted to hitting her in the face.

“I bashed her around this house,” Montgomery told his uncle, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held in jail.

The last time anyone reported seeing Harmony was in October 2019, when Manchester police spotted her while responding to a call for service. Officials later said they believed Harmony had disappeared between Nov. 28 and Dec. 10 of that year.

Child-welfare system ‘failed’ missing 7-year-old, state says

Harmony’s short life was tumultuous, as she was bounced from one place to another in search of a safe home. She was in foster care in Massachusetts after her mother, Crystal Sorey, struggled with substance abuse and lost custody of her in 2018.

A judge sent her to live in New Hampshire with her father in February 2019, without requiring an in-home visit from officials. The judge determined that Montgomery was fit to parent and that the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children, which governs the placement of children across state lines, did not apply.

While searching for Harmony in January, police found Adam Montgomery sleeping in a car in Manchester. He allegedly contradicted himself in the conversation and said both that he had seen his daughter recently and that he had not seen her since Sorey picked her up around Thanksgiving 2019.

Eventually, police wrote in court records, Montgomery told officers that he had “nothing else to say.”

Liked her trip to Taipei husband hasn't crashed his car this month. Mar A Lago just got raided. Trump pled the Fifth over 440 times in New York he had previously said only mobsters and monsters plead the Fifth.

Trump is the only U.S. president and only federal official to be impeached twice and acquitted a second time. He was impeached by the House seven days prior to the expiration of his term and the inauguration of Joe Biden. Because he left office before the trial, this was the first impeachment trial of a former president.

No he lost the Electoral College and he lost the popular vote by millions and the Dems handily outspent the Republicans. Trump lost 50 court cases related to the last election and won 1.

Obama had 2 terms enjoying his political retirement way more than Trump is enjoying 2022. Who exactly did Trump lock up?

Trump had gays right behind his speakers platform at some events Milo was a prominent gay Republican. Giuliani has a pansexual daughter. Obama and Hillary never sued
the National Enquirer for cover headlines they were gay Carol Burnett nailed the N.E. for 5 million just for claiming she was a drunk.

Which then collapsed,

Those illegals arriving are way up under Biden but illegals were caught working at Mar A Lago.

Yes he did he kept that promise. A Trump appointee Judge approved the warrant to raid Mar A Lago.
