More than two years after Harmony Montgomery vanished without a trace, authorities have finally shifted their search for the missing 8-year-old to a homicide investigation.
In a Thursday press conference, New Hampshire Attorney General confirmed police were looking into who killed Harmony, who was last seen in late 2019 when she was 5 years old but was not reported missing until two years later. New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said biological evidence confirmed that Montgomery was murdered in December 2019.
The announcement comes just one month after authorities swarmed the Manchester, New Hampshire, apartment Montgomery’s father, Adam Montgomery, and his estranged wife—who is not Harmony’s mother—Kayla once lived in. The Daily Beast previously reported that investigators were seen taking a refrigerator wrapped in biohazard tape from the apartment and loading it onto a truck.
