Disturbing And Graphic Details Of The Murder Of Harmony Montgomery To Be Released

MANCHESTER, NH — Adam Montgomery’s defense team has fought to release the affidavit outlining the details behind the death of Harmony Montgomery — and now everyone will soon know why.

A judge has ordered those details to be released Tuesday morning in Hillsborough County Superior Court. According to sources, the documents will accuse Adam Montgomery of beating his daughter, Harmony, to death in December 2019.

Initially, the defense convinced the court it could affect his trial involving stolen weapons, possession of firearms by a felon, and being an armed career criminal. But Montgomery was recently found guilty of all charges in the weapons trial and faces decades in prison. The judge sided with Adam Montgomery's defense team and left the affidavit sealed until the weapons trial was completed.

Tuesday, the affidavit will be unsealed under a judge's order after a ruling was made last month.

After months of searching for Harmony Montgomery, officials declared she was dead in August 2022 and began searching for her remains.

This information came after several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, Manchester police, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, searched a Union Street apartment for two days.

Adam Montgomery was charged in October 2022.

The details are unknown but have been described by some sources as graphic and disturbing.

Kayla Montgomery, Harmony's stepmother, was convicted of charges unrelated to the murder. But she entered into a plea deal that included testimony against Adam Montgomery. She recently testified in his weapons trial and is expected to be a key witness in the murder trial involving Harmony’s death.

Prosecutors have publicly stated Kayla Montgomery named her husband in the murder of the girl.

The indictment for second-degree murder explicitly stated the killing occurred on Dec. 7, 2019. The indictment did not specify how or where she was murdered. The indictment said Adam Montgomery removed, concealed, or destroyed the girl's body.

Currently, the trial is set for November this year. However, trial dates frequently change. He faces charges, including second-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, falsifying physical evidence, and witness tampering.

Adam Montgomery is expected to be sentenced on the weapon charges in August. Those sentences could send him to the New Hampshire State Prison for Men for decades.
