‘Harmony Montgomery was murdered,’ New Hampshire AG says

The ongoing search for a missing 5-year-old New Hampshire girl is now a murder investigation, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said Thursday. Harmony Montgomery disappeared sometime between Nov. 28 and Dec. 10, 2019, but police did not learn of her disappearance from her for more than two years. Formella said all the evidence leads them to believe the child is dead. “All of the (investigative) efforts have led us to conclude that Harmony Montgomery was murdered in Manchester in early December of 2019,” he said. “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.” Holding back tears, Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg implored anyone with information to come forward. “I’m not asking you to do it for me, for the people in this room, the people who have been working on this investigation. Do it for this little girl who’s on the screen. The time is now. Time to step up and do the right thing,” he said. In June, law enforcement officers from state and federal agencies swarmed a Manchester, New Hampshire, apartment building where the girl’s father, Adam Montgomery, and his estranged wife Kayla Montgomery, previously lived. Officials were seen removing a refrigerator. Investigators wrapped the appliance in black plastic and loaded it onto a waiting truck. At the time of the girl’s disappearance, Adam Montgomery had legal custody of Harmony. He has been indicted on an assault charge alleging that he struck Harmony in the face in July 2019 He’s also accused of unrelated firearms theft charges and has pleaded not guilty.No charges have been directly filed in Harmony’s disappearance.Kayla Montgomery is charged with two felony counts of perjury for allegedly lying to a grand jury.The couple told police that Harmony was brought to be with her mother in Massachusetts around Thanksgiving 2019.
