Deceased/Not Found NH - Harmony Montgomery, 7, Manchester, Oct 2019 *reported missing Dec 2021* *REWARD* *Arrest* #2

I'm having a hard time understanding how/why the court would have scheduled her two children at the same time for two different hearings. That doesn't make sense.

Apparently it wasn't "the" court, it was two different courts? Might even be one in NH and one in MA. It's mentioned in a couple of the interviews but without details, so I guess it might turn out not to be true.

That would be very odd if it was two different courts. Both kids dependency cases should have been handled in the county where she lived. Unless the kids were taken into the system in two different counties for some reason. I still can't imagine that they wouldn't reschedule one of them unless her parental rights were already terminated at that point.

ETA: I guess one was for her son's adoption and perhaps that is through a different court.

Or maybe one of them was in the county where the father was living. Which might even be in the other state.

NH never took over the case so that wouldn't make sense.

A lot of things don’t make sense with this case. Its heartbreaking.

Hm. True.

I truly believe that the reporter who adopted her son assisted her in finding the right route and things to say to get the ball rolling. JMO

Totally with you on this!

Despite whatever other poor choices she made, if it weren't for CS determination to locate her daughter no matter who she annoyed, none of us would ever even know Harmony was missing, since NO ONE else, cared enough to make it known. There were other adults in Harmony's life that not only knew was missing, but likely had a hand in her going missing.

She's no mother of the year, and I'm sure she'd be the first to admit it, but my hat is off to her for rattling cages, making noise and getting the word out about Harmony.

I'm not sure this is true at all. I believe Harmony's disappearance was only brought to light by the persistence of the brother's adoptive dads. MOO.

Bio mom conceded she wasn’t in a position to parent and relinquished custody. She’s not accused of causing the disappearance.

Kamarie’s father violated a court order in letting her see her mom, and he doesn’t have pages and pages about what an awful parent he is. Gannon’s father is off-limits because he was on a work trip.

No vitriol should be directed at bio mom here.

JMO.

I scrolled down a little ways on this twitter account, and there is a video of Harmony's brother sending Harmony a message.

"Harmony, it's me, your brother. I hope to see you soon." (Note, not sure if this last phrase is exact.) And he blows her a kiss.

His bond with Harmony is still so strong, she must have taken such good care of him and loved him so much. I hope his prayers are answered.

No vitriol toward mom. Only sympathy for her overall situation. Just believe the adoptive dads had major role in bringing her disappearance to light. I pray mom and brother have answers someday. Praying for you, Harmony. MOO

I'm sure I haven't read every MSM article linked to this case, but the ones I did read made it pretty clear it was CS that kept making noise about this, and then her son's adopted parents also got on board.

Harmony Montgomery’s stepmother to be arraigned on new charges – Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News
The stepmother of a missing New Hampshire girl is set to be arraigned Monday on new charges.

Prosecutors dropped a welfare fraud charge against Kayla Montgomery for collecting food stamps in 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery’s name and replaced it with three other charges, including theft, according to court documents released earlier this month.

The change was being made based on updated records about the benefits provided by the state Department of Health and Human Services about Kayla Montgomery, the attorney general’s office said.
