Attorneys for missing Harmony Montgomery’s father are pushing to know what kind of deals prosecutors made with witnesses scheduled to testify on his weapons and theft charges.
Adam Montgomery’s lawyers filed a motion at the Manchester court in New Hampshire this week, and according to the Union Leader, they’re casting “doubt on the stolen firearms charges” brought against him in May.
The charges are not connected with his daughter Harmony’s disappearance, who hasn’t been seen since 2019.
Court documents indicate that the person who contacted police about stolen weapons initially named a man and his wife, identified as KF, as the culprits. KF, according to prosecutors named Montgomery as the thief after she was arrested for crack cocaine possession.
“It was not until this interaction, when KF herself faced criminal charges, that she mentioned Mr. Montgomery as a potential suspect,” Montgomery’s lawyers, Caroline Smith and Paige Pihl Buckley, said in the filing.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the charges are connected to incidents that occurred between September 2019 and October 2019, when Montgomery allegedly stole firearms.
The charges came on the heels of previous charges against Montgomery of second-degree assault. On March 25, Montgomery was indicted by a grand jury for allegedly hitting Harmony in the face in July 2019. He’s also facing interference with custody and endangering the welfare of a child charges.
Where is Harmony?
Court documents released earlier this year indicate that police received a call from Harmony’s biological mother, Crystal Sorey, on November 18, 2021, who claimed her daughter was missing. Sorey told police that Harmony’s father had physical custody of the girl and she couldn’t get in touch with him.
Sorey added that she lost custody of Harmony in 2018 due to drug issues. Adam, according to Sorey, blocked her calls and blocked her from social media, and didn’t allow her to speak to Harmony after Easter 2019.
New Hampshire police reached out to the New Hampshire Department of Children’s Services to locate Adam, but by December 27, 2021, the agency couldn’t find him. Police began searching for Montgomery when they learned that Harmony “had not been physically seen since October/November 2019.”
Police also spoke to Adam Montgomery’s brother, Michael, who explained that Montgomery abused Harmony and gave her a black eye. Police then reached out to Montgomery’s cousin, Kevin, who witnessed the alleged incident.
“I bashed her around this house,” Montgomery said, according to Kevin.
Kevin told investigators that Montgomery was upset at Harmony when her infant brother started crying because he told her to keep an eye on him. In anger, Montgomery allegedly spanked Harmony, made her scrub a toilet with a toothbrush, and forced her to stand in the corner for hours.
On December 31, 2021, police located Adam Montgomery sleeping in a car in New Hampshire with his current girlfriend. The girlfriend told police that Montgomery never once talked about Harmony.
When investigators interviewed Kayla Montgomery, she said that she hadn’t spoken to Adam since November 2021 and hadn’t seen Harmony since late 2019.
Montgomery reportedly told police that Harmony’s mother came to “pick her up in Manchester, NH around Thanksgiving 2019.” Montgomery claimed he hadn’t seen his daughter since.
Police said Adam Montgomery’s statements were inconsistent and secretive, with the suspect telling them things such as, “I have nothing to say” and, “If I’m not under arrest, I’m leaving.”
“Somewhere out there this little girl is in need of help, and that’s our job, and I need your help on helping us to find her safe so the next time we meet, maybe we meet with some good news,” Aldenberg previously said.
One of the Last Known Sightings
One of the last known sightings of Harmony happened in October 2019 at a home off of Gilford Street in Manchester, New Hampshire, after a family spat broke out. The girl’s uncle, Kevin Montgomery, said Adam Montgomery then left with Harmony and broke off contact with several family members.
Kevin Montgomery said Harmony “looked like a scared puppy” the last time he saw her. Police announced last month that Harmony is likely deceased and a victim of foul play.
A reward for information on Harmony’s whereabouts is being offered. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police tipline at 603-203-6060.
