Two men were seen leaving the Gilford Street home during the investigation with a large piece of equipment. It appeared the men worked for a company that specialized in geophysical and geological services.

According to the company’s website, when using the equipment, which includes ground-penetrating radar, the workers are able to detect and map out ground areas. The mapping allows them to determine concrete condition, structural integrity, slab thickness, and detect voids within or beneath concrete slabs. Online, the company claimed it can determine items beneath a building floor slab, too, and answer questions for clients before they begin excavation.

A short time after the men were seen standing in the street, Manchester police removed a large brown paper bag. A sergeant put the bag in her vehicle parked outside the house.

Police and other agencies, that have not been confirmed, have been at the scene of the Gilford Street home since Saturday morning. The street remains closed at both ends. Police are only allowing residents and people working on the investigation to have access to the street.

Neighbors, who appeared to be curious, have been working in their driveways doing snow removal from the recent storm. One neighbor was seen bringing investigators boxes of coffee.

Late Saturday a vigil for Harmony was held at Bass Island in Manchester. Crystal Sorey the mother of Harmony spoke after the vigil. This is a short clip of what she said, watch for an extensive video tomorrow of additional interviews.

The search for Harmony continues and law enforcement is still requesting the public’s assistance in locating her. If you have any information please call or text the 24-hour tip line dedicated to Harmony Montgomery’s rescue at 603-203-6060.
