Harmony Montgomery’s father indicted for allegedly assaulting her, reward increased to $150,000

The father of a missing girl has been indicted for allegedly assaulting her.

31-year-old Adam Montgomery of Manchester, New Hampshire, was arrested on January 4 in Manchester and, according to Boston 25, has been indicted today on one charge of felony second-degree assault arising from 2019 conduct where he reportedly struck 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery in the face. Montgomery is also facing one misdemeanor charge of interference with custody, and two misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child pertaining to Harmony Montgomery.

Kayla Montgomery, Adam’s estranged wife, was also indicted on the charge of Theft by Deception after allegedly receiving money through DHHS for Harmony when she wasn’t a member of the household.

Just two days ago, Adam Montgomery’s girlfriend was found dead.

The search for Harmony continues.

The investigation to-date has narrowed the window of Harmony’s disappearance to approximately November 28–December 10, 2019. According to information learned by police, Adam and Kayla Montgomery, together with their two common children and Adam’s daughter Harmony, were evicted from 77 Gilford Street in Manchester on November 27, 2019. Multiple individuals have reported seeing Harmony with Adam and Kayla in the following days; however, by approximately December 6–10, 2019, Adam and Kayla apparently had only their two common children, and Harmony was no longer with them.

This information leads police to believe that it was sometime during this window of approximately November 28–December 10, 2019, that Harmony Montgomery disappeared. Witnesses have reported that during that time, Adam, Kayla, and the children were homeless and living out of cars, possibly in the North End of Manchester. One of the cars was a silver 2010 Chrysler Sebring, and the other was a dark blue 2006 Audi S4. Authorities say that the cars in 2019 were worse than depicted in the below photos. In addition, the Sebring’s rear license plate was askew.

As previously stated by officials, Harmony previously attended school in Massachusetts.

The reward for information leading to Harmony was increased today to $150,000.

Adam Montgomery is facing 10-30 years in prison.

Manchester Police continue to request that anyone with information please call or text the 24- hour tip line dedicated to Harmony’s rescue at 603-203-6060, in particular anyone who saw or interacted with Adam Montgomery, Kayla Montgomery, or the children during the time frame of approximately November 28–December 10, 2019, or who saw either of the vehicles in question during that time.
