Shocking Update About The Father Of Missing Little Girl

About three years after Harmony Montgomery went missing, the state’s top prosecutor revealed at a news conference on Monday that Adam Montgomery had been charged with second-degree murder, fabricating evidence, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with witnesses.

At a news conference on Monday, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said that Harmony Montgomery’s father, Adam, is suspected of hitting the young girl in the head with a closed fist on December 7, 2019, “recklessly causing the death of Harmony Montgomery, a person under the age of 13, under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life.”

In August, investigators said they would change the focus of their inquiry from a missing person to a homicide. They added that they think she was murdered in Manchester in 2019.

Adam Montgomery, the girl’s father, has already been in jail since January on suspicion of child abuse in connection with his daughter’s disappearance and the fruitless search for her. He shot a man in Massachusetts in 2014 and is a suspect in an unrelated cold case murder. He is also an ex-con and a heroin addict.

He is now accused of trying to convince his estranged wife, Kayla Montgomery, to believe his story in addition to allegedly killing his daughter, Formella said on Monday afternoon.

Last week, Adam Montgomery’s defense team filed a number of motions with Judge Amy Messer, alleging that a Manchester detective had violated his Miranda rights after his arrest. She only ordered that the portion of his interview that was conducted after the alleged violation be struck, partially granting a request to suppress his interview.

Adam Montgomery gave up his right to privacy when he told detectives the phone wasn’t his, according to Messer, who overruled a separate motion to suppress phone evidence.
