With new evidence, police announced that 8-year-old Harmony Montgomery was killed in early December 2019 in Manchester. Investigators continue to search for the suspect and Montgomery's remains.
Authorities have determined that Harmony Montgomery, a little girl who disappeared in 2019, was murdered in Manchester, New Hampshire, in early December 2019, officials announced Thursday.Harmony's remains have not been found but "multiple sources of investigative information, including biological evidence," led to the conclusion that she's dead, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said at a news conference.
"If you are that person, I implore you to do so now and come forward," he said. "Do it for this little girl."The attorney general and police chief did not take questions from the media at Thursday's news conference. No suspect was named. Harmony's last confirmed home was in Manchester with her father, her stepmother Kayla Montgomery, and her two half-siblings, according to state officials.In July 2019, an anonymous call was made to New Hampshire's Division for Children, Youth and Families alleging that in a visit a week earlier, he or she saw Harmony "had a black eye that Adam Montgomery admitted to causing," the report said.
In subsequent visits to the home, "the children appeared happy and healthy," the report said. In the last visit, in October 2019, case workers found the abuse allegations unfounded, but added, "the situation was scored high risk for future child welfare involvement pursuant to the Risk Assessment tool citing the history of substance use, prior family history with child protection, and economic challenges," according to the report.
