Prosecutors have submitted their sentencing recommendation for Adam Montgomery ahead of Thursday's sentencing hearing.
The sentencing document requests a sentence of 56 years to life for Montgomery, convicted earlier this year of second-degree murder in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, who police believe was killed nearly two years before she was reported missing in 2021 and whose body was never found.
Adam Montgomery’s attorneys earlier acknowledged his guilt on two lesser charges, that he “purposely and unlawfully removed, concealed or destroyed” her corpse and falsified physical evidence, but said he didn’t kill his daughter. The jury also convicted him of assaulting Harmony in 2019 and of tampering with the key prosecution witness, his estranged wife and stepmother of his daughter, Kayla Montgomery.
A New Hampshire judge has ruled that Harmony Montgomery, the 5-year-old girl killed by her father, is legally dead and appointed her mother to administer her estate. Follow NBC10 Boston on...

Photos of the girl were widely circulated on social media. Police eventually determined she had been killed. after pleading guilty to perjury charges related to the investigation into the child’s disappearance and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. She testified that that her husband killed Harmony Montgomery on Dec. 7, 2019, while the family lived in their car after being evicted from their home.
