Girl last seen in Manchester in October 2019; police seek tips from public​

Manchester police are seeking tips from the public about the disappearance of a girl not seen in more than two years.

Harmony Montgomery, 7, was last seen in a home in Manchester in October 2019, when she was 5, police said.

Police said they first learned Harmony went missing earlier this week. Chief Allen Aldenberg did not specify who reported the girl missing but said his department has been in touch with multiple family members and will continue to speak with them.

Aldenberg said police are not searching for any adult or vehicle in connection with the case. Investigators are focusing on the whereabouts of Harmony.

"No time is a good time for a child to go missing," Aldenberg said. "I'm begging the community. I don't care if you saw this young girl a year ago and you think it's irrelevant. Call us."

Aldenberg said at a news conference Friday his detectives are working to confirm where Harmony is from and where she went to school before her disappearance.

Harmony is estimated to be approximately 4 feet tall and 50 pounds. Investigators said she has blonde hair, blue eyes and should be wearing glasses.

"We need help," Aldenberg said. "This remains a very active investigation."

Gov. Sununu hopes some information from Harmony Montgomery review to be released soon​

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said some information from the review into the Harmony Montgomery case could be released in the next few weeks.

New Hampshire's DCYF and the Attorney General's Office are looking into the 7-year-old disappearance.

Investigators believe she was last seen in late 2019. The governor said it's likely not all information about how the system failed Harmony will be made public.

"My gut tells me right now that the biggest break of the system, it wasn't just about Massachusetts or just about New Hampshire, it's really about the transfer of information across states and not just between our states, and not just between our states, but any two states," Sununu said.

The governor said the goal of releasing information is that it might help bring Harmony home.

AG: Some details about internal DCYF review regarding Harmony Montgomery to be released soon

It's been 50 days since the intensive search for 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery began, and state and city officials confirmed Wednesday that the urgency and importance of the case has not diminished.

Details about internal DCYF review regarding Harmony Montgomery to be released next week, AG says​

It's been 50 days since the intensive search for 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery began, and state and city officials confirmed Wednesday that the urgency and importance of the case have not diminished.

“Of all the things that have been talked about in this case, it's how for two years nobody has seen this little girl,” New Hampshire executive councilor Ted Gatsas said.


The governor called for an internal review at the state Division of Children, Youth and Families regarding the handling of Harmony Montgomery's case, while DCYF has remained mum on if the child was even in their system, citing strict confidentiality laws.

If Harmony Montgomery’s case is in the state’s system, her case would likely be managed by the DCYF district office in Manchester, which handled more than 1,300 cases last year and is one of the busiest district offices in the state.

“I know Joe Ribsam and the team at DCYF have completed a significant portion of the (internal review),” Gov. Chris Sununu said.

Attorney General John Formella confirmed that by next week, parts of the review approved by the state Department of Justice will be made public.

:( To see pics like the above in any case with a child apparently happy with their entire life ahead of them, one has to wonder why at this moment in time (of pic) was everything okay on that occasion and who with, only to now be a missing child of two years unreported and by whom and why...

Not sure what is the trampoline picture? There are two at the bottom, one of her at a sink and the other in a seat with a bar like a stroller, is that the trampoline? They are unclickable as far as going into the picture. There is no caption under them of any kind. I just get the article and those pics on the bottom.

Okay. I had went into the article you responded to with your post. The Union Leader one it just says on the picture "Initial Report on Harmony Montgomery Case Out Shortly". If I click the pic, it takes me in but then yeah, there is a pay wall or something, I "x" out of it and it brings me back to that main page with that caption on the pic. I can't even tell if there is an article or more really. Maybe someone else can but that's what it says on the first page if you can't see it. I imagine it is just a pic used of her to go with the article (if there is one) and probably nothing much said about the pic itself but that's just a guess. I see @SheWhoMustNotBeNamed posted the link so maybe she can tell more/see it when she has a minute.
 
No I don't have access to the article either. I included the link because that's where I got the picture from.

But the caption on the picture says: "Adam Montgomery with his daughter Harmony as posted to Facebook on May 22, 2017. He is currently jailed, charged with assault arising from a blow to Harmony's face in 2019. The girl was last seen around Thanksgiving of that year."

Manchester police chief records radio PSA asking for tips in search for missing girl​

Police in Manchester are using unconventional methods to keep the story of missing 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery in the public eye.

Harmony was reported missing in January after she hadn't been seen for two years.

Manchester police Chief Allen Aldenberg has recorded a radio public service announcement asking for information. Police said officials at the radio station saw a WMUR story with Aldenberg in January and felt compelled to help.

"It was Manchester Radio Group that reached out to us," said Heather Hamel, of the Manchester Police Department. "We've been very fortunate that a lot of people have heard about Harmony's story, and they just want to help any way they can."

Aldenberg said he has never done a PSA in his career, but this case and this situation are extraordinary.

"A 7-year-old girl is out there. She needs our help," he said. "Not just the police department's help. She needs the community to rally and help us find this little girl."


A tip line at 603-203-6060 remains open and staffed 24 hours per day. Aldenberg said 650 tips have come in so far, but the calls have slowed in recent weeks.

Report: DCYF visited Montgomery household before, after Harmony was missing

New Hampshire should take immediate steps to create new protections for children in custody disputes, according to a report created in the wake of an investigation into the disappearance of a 7-year-old Manchester girl.

Report: DCYF visited Montgomery household before, after Harmony was missing​

A new report examining the case of a missing 7-year-old Manchester girl says that a caseworker visited the girl's household multiple times.

In July 2019, months after Adam Montgomery was given custody of then-5-year-old Harmony, an anonymous call was made to DCYF alleging potential abuse — a black eye, according to the report.

The report states that a child protective service worker visited the home that day but didn't see an injury. An eye injury was spotted on a second visit, and the worker was told it came from roughhousing with a sibling, according to the report.

After a third visit in October, DCYF reported that the children were happy and healthy, deeming the abuse unfounded. According to the report, that was the last time a DCYF worker saw Harmony.

The last time anyone claims to have seen Harmony was a month later, but that would go unreported for another two years.

In January 2020, DCYF received another referral to check the Montgomery household, but Harmony isn't referenced. Adam Montgomery told the caseworker that the girl had been living with her mother for a couple months, according to the report.

The report states that the worker left a voicemail with Harmony's mother, Crystal Sorey, to confirm she was living there, but the call wasn’t returned, and there were no known additional follow-up calls.

A year later, in early 2021, two more reports were made about the Montgomerys. Adam Montgomery again said that Harmony was with her mother, according to the report.

In September 2021, DCYF was contacted by someone with concerns that Sorey hadn’t seen Harmony since Easter 2019 and hadn’t been able to contact Adam Montgomery to visit with her.

Adam Montgomery was found on Dec. 31, 2021. Police said his answers about Harmony's whereabouts were contradictory and unconvincing.

If there is a concern and somebody’s calling about kids being abused and one of them shows up with a black eye - give me a break! I would follow up on that one. But that’s just me!
 

States seek to improve communication in child welfare cases​

Massachusetts child welfare authorities are pledging to improve communication and cooperation with their counterpart agencies in other New England states in response to the disappearance of a New Hampshire girl who was 5 when she went missing in 2019.

The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families said in a statement Monday that in light of the “tragic circumstances” in the Harmony Montgomery case, it is clear that the communication processes across state lines should be improved.

The agency said child welfare commissioners are in the early stages of developing an information-sharing agreement to improve communication and collaboration concerning cases that cross state lines.

MA DCF has been an issue even before the 2015 murder of Bella Bond so this sounds like another blanket statement, imo.
