SAUGUS, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A team of 15 to 20 volunteers gathered in Saugus on July 27 to search of the remains of 5-year-old Harmony Montgomery from New Hampshire.
“We kind of separated to get into the marsh and search, volunteer told WBZ NewsRadio. "Just basically looking for anything that looked abnormal or disturbed."
Investigators believe that Harmony was killed back in 2019 by her father but wasn’t reported missing until 2021. Adam Montgomery, Harmony’s father’ was convicted in February of beating Harmony to death and sentenced to 56 years in prison. Harmony’s body was never found, and he refused to help police locate her remains.
The search party focused on the area around the Rumney Marsh Reservation, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
“Her father is from this area,” another volunteer told WBZ NewsRadio. “… this has been an area of focus by the state police as well, I know, as well as the mother had a hunch.”
Harmony’s mother, Crystal Sorey, was with the search party and spoke with the volunteers. After several hours, the search party suspended their efforts when they were unsuccessful but they said they are not giving up.
