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."

They must have a very good reason to go through all of that. I'm wondering if dad has confessed and/or they found something with ground penetrating radar to convince them.
I have similar thoughts that they found something or were told something. Even a neighbor or visitor some time back may have noticed something dug up or planted in the yard or disturbance, etc.... Concrete or cement poured or laid, etc.

The effort could be just to show they are going all out but I'd rather not think it is just a "show"--I think it's more likely they have a reason beyond just routine.

That would be a lot of taxpayer $$ for just a show.

I agree but that show in the Laundrie/Petito case with the amphibious vehicle is still fresh in my mind. And people have really made waves over why one case gets more attention than others and searches as well since Petito.

Personally I think they have information is most likely and are not putting on any show but I do think there are occasional shows.

I am now thinking that in that case they might have caught him on a trail cam or something similar to be going over that area like they did and just didn't make that public. They were very close. They knew "something" somehow.

There are rumors on Twitter about tips that are coming in. They are so “rumoresque” that I won’t repeat them here, but you can go on Twitter if you want to see them. That was yesterday afternoon.
 
I sure wish I had mom's thought that she is still alive, but it sure can't hurt to keep her pic and description out there just in case. With dad's history, I sure am not confident in that and step mom knew she wasn't coming back so not scared of getting caught with her benefits.
I agree. I think moms often do have an "invisible" something that tells them their child is in danger, is still alive, something is wrong, etc. sometimes. Not exactly psychic but I think everyone gets what I mean. In this case though, I think this is probably the mother's hope/wishful thinking. I don't think this child is alive based on this set of facts, time missing, dad's history, etc. Of course I hope that's wrong, we have been surprised in other cases but it's pretty darned rare with these facts.
 

Health and Human Services Commissioner Lori Shibinette, DCYF director Joe Ribsam and Attorney General John Formella said they were limited with what they could say because federal and state laws prohibit DCYF from discussing specific cases.

Councilor Ted Gatsas said the lack of information publicly provided in the case is causing confusion. He highlighted the recent case of Elijah Lewis, a Merrimack boy who was missing for an extended period of time before his body was found in Massachusetts.

Gatsas said the state is starting to get a bad reputation from what's happening to its children, but Formella said the cases are being investigated.

Sununu questions Massachusetts court over decision to place missing girl in father's custody​

Gov. Chris Sununu has sent a letter to Massachusetts court officials asking why custody of a now-missing girl was granted to her father.

In his letter to Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Sununu wrote that the New Hampshire Division of Children, Youth and Families was ready to conduct a home study after getting more information from the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families when a Massachusetts judge awarded sole custody of Harmony to her father.

"It is unclear why the Massachusetts courts moved so quickly with this permanent placement prior to the completion of the home study," Sununu wrote. "Why would the Massachusetts court choose to place custody of Harmony with this horrible individual? What caused such a fateful decision?"

"We're really asking the judicial system in Massachusetts to open up the case, open up the files and let us have the information that we need, because at this point, all the information could become valuable in bringing her home safe," Sununu said.

"Had the court required that an Interstate Compact home study be completed, there would have been more checks in the system to help ensure Harmony's safety when she was moved to New Hampshire such as continued oversight on the family," Sununu wrote. "More critically, had New Hampshire had this in place when responding and investigating the alleged incident of abuse in December of 2019, the result would likely have been very different for Harmony."

In a brief statement, a spokeswoman for Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Kimberly Budd acknowledged receiving the letter.

"The Massachusetts Office of the Child Advocate has opened an investigation into this tragic situation," the statement said. "The Massachusetts Trial Court is cooperating fully with that investigation and will cooperate with other investigations as authorized by law."
