Police have released a new timeline in the case ofHarmony Montgomery, a New Hampshire girl last seen in 2019 but who was not reported missing for two years.
“Multiple individuals” reported seeing the girl with her father, Adam Montgomery, and his wife, Kayla, in the days that followed. But between Dec. 6-10, 2019, the couple was seen only with their two common children — and not Harmony.
During that same time, according to witnesses, Adam, Kayla, and the other two children were homeless and living out of cars — one a silver 2010 Chrysler Sebring, and the other a dark blue 2006 Audi S4 — possibly in Manchester’s North End, authorities said.
Manchester police ask anyone who saw the vehicles or interacted with Adam, Kayla or the children during that window to call or text a 24-hour tip line dedicated to Harmony’s rescue at 603-203-6060.
