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."

Reward Nears $100K for Info in Search for Missing NH Girl Harmony Montgomery​

Nearly $100,000 is now being offered in the search for Harmony Montgomery, a 7-year-old girl from New Hampshire who's been missing for two years and the subject of a major search.

Five new pledges of reward money since Thursday upped the total available for information leading investigators to Harmony to $94,000, the Manchester Police Department said Friday. The new pledges include a $15,000 private donation from a person in Nashua and $10,000 from someone living in Vermont.

"We cannot thank the community and those from surrounding states, cities, and towns enough for their generosity and support as we continue to investigate the disappearance of this 7 year old child," police said in a statement. "Your help is greatly appreciated and we hope this reward encourages people to come forward with valuable information."

per article
"Family members and Kayla Montgomery told police they last saw her around late October 2019. Adam Montgomery was living in a sober house at the time, she said, and then left the area to live in Maine with a third woman, police said. Sometime after that, they got back together. At the time, Kayla Montgomery accused Adam Montgomery of telling her that Harmony Montgomery was given back to her mother in Massachusetts. "

So are they saying that he was living at a sober house at the same time they last saw her? IF so, where was she living or was she with him there? This by itself seems like should have opened up an inquiry to her since he is the custodial parent and she would be a part of his sobriety.

Adam Montgomery's life of crime, which started as a teen in Bedford, involved weapons, threats, a stabbing, and a drug deal shooting, too.

Mother of Harmony Montgomery says she 'never stopped' looking for missing daughter

The girl’s father and stepmother have been arrested but have not been charged with her disappearance.

Mother of Harmony Montgomery says she 'never stopped' looking for missing daughter​

The mother of missing 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery made her first public comments at a vigil Saturday night, saying she "never stopped" looking for answers about her daughter's disappearance.

Crystal Sorey told NBC Boston at the vigil in Manchester, New Hampshire, that she has been "begging for any type of answer" since she last spoke to her daughter nearly three years ago. Harmony’s father, Adam Montgomery, who had legal custody at the time of her disappearance, blocked all contact between the mother and daughter after a video call in April 2019, according to Sorey.

"I don’t feel like she’s gone. I just don’t feel that in my heart,” Sorey said. “Like, I don’t feel like I lost her. And a mother knows, a mother knows if your baby’s here or not. I know she’s here.”


She addressed her daughter directly while talking to NBC Boston, saying she wanted Harmony to know how much she is loved.

"If you can see me and hear me, I want you to know that I never stopped looking for you and I won't stop fighting until I find you, okay? You stay strong and mommy's right here fighting for you. I love you."

while I do sympathize with her a bit, she was the mother and should have gotten herself to a point to take him to court for visitation and that would have automatically opened up an inquiry on her. She had nearly 3 years to do that.

The step mom knows she wasn't coming home by not taking her off of the food stamp benefits. If she really thought and cared that the mom had her, she would have had to assume that the mom would inquire about benefits of her own and then more questions would have opened up. She knew. She wasn't afraid for getting into trouble about it.

I consider the mother a victim here. The father had custody and is 100% responsible for the whereabouts of his daughter.

Agree!

I'd like to know how the father was able to get thru parenting classes & the home study that's usually done before a child can be placed in someones care.

 

[Guess Who]

yes she is, but she is the parent, too that lost track of her kid for years. I have no excuse for her on that.

[GrandmaBear]

Anyone else starting to think this is a recovery? Maybe it's just me after seeing these cases unfold over the years. I hope wherever Harmony is that she's not scared or hurt & can see clearly with both of her beautiful eyes.

Yes, I have thought that from the start unfortunately. And the likelihood has only been added to as info has come.

 

[Guess Who]

Agree!

I'd like to know how the father was able to get thru parenting classes & the home study that's usually done before a child can be placed in someones care.

I would also like to know how she was handled while he was living at the sober house. He had custody of her and she would have been an important part in his sobriety. Most people are not there voluntarily and will use every excuse to get out of being there and having a small child to take care of should have been a priority of somebody. This poor child fell through every single crack in everybody's lives that she should have been a priority in. It seems every adult was too busy partying and putting themselves first that should have put her first.

 

[Guess Who]

yes she is, but she is the parent, too that lost track of her kid for years. I have no excuse for her on that.

Let me add that I could understand it if she had been talking to her ex or Harmony in those years but just not able to visit, but she didn't and after a while you take it a step further if you are actually really worried. Like i said, filing for visitation would have opened up a case at least whether she actually wanted visitation or not. Legal Aid is available for this very issue.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I will have to disagree with you about CASA. From personal experience only the GAL in my case never requested to speak with my child, review medical records, nor speak with my regular sitter. The GAL was an attorney who was assigned to be impartial while charging a lot of money for nothing more than her unprofessional opinion. I have a hard time believing that they truly have a childs best interest in mind.

In Harmony's case, the birth mother lost custody because of drugs however she still maintains a relationship with her sons adoptive family. The bio dad's family heard about the abuse & did what? Why wasn't a case worker assigned to follow up with Harmony's reunion with her family?

I can agree on many GALs. They are to be unbiased and in favor of the child and look at everything and many do no such thing. In fact, I have known them to ONLY look or talk to one side in a custody dispute. And of course, SUBMIT their bill for doing no real investigation at all.

it also has to do with each individual CASA/GAL. Some go far beyond what they are expected to do and some do the bare minimum.

Just catching up here.

Pretty much like everything in life, there are good ones and bad ones. And since GALS are often paid the statutory attorney's fee instead of the big bucks, that plays in as well with some as to the job they do...

and i give them 100% credit for this case being opened. They seemed to be the only ones in this child's life that cared. If it werent for them, i don't believe mom would have done anything.

I agree with you. I heard an interview with the man who adopted her son and he said that he was even trying to help her get some answers. He suggested that someone called the mayor and that’s what prompted the police to finally do something. I’m not quite sure if that’s true? I don’t think he knew for sure either.

ETA: the mom may have called the mayor, is what was said.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I'm not up enough on the mother's story, etc. to comment. I have read most posts but haven't watched or read interviews, etc. for the most part.

If she was in dad's care though or supposed to be, he is first and foremost responsible imo. It seems likely he both beat her and killed her sadly and that's on him. That's not to say the reason she was in his care was not due to the mother losing her and a DCF decision but the fact she is missing is on him or so it seems from what is known thus far.
