In the weeks before Harmony Montgomery was allegedly murdered by her father, the 5-year-old and her siblings were living in “chaos” and surrounded by drugs and guns, her stepmother testified on Monday.
“It was just chaos in that house at that time,” Kayla Montgomery told jurors Monday. “I didn’t want the guns in the house.”
The bombshell testimony came in the second week of Adam Montgomery’s gun-theft trial in New Hampshire, where he pleaded not guilty to several weapons charges. Montgomery is also facing separate charges in connection with Harmony’s December 2019 death—about two years before she was reported missing in a case that has garnered national headlines. The 5-year-old has never been found and Montgomery is expected to go to trial for her death in November.
