Kayla - they will be back in court in 60 days
June 9th @9am.
They will decide if they want to proceed to trial then.
There has been a plea offer. Discovery is mostly complete, part of the defendants charge has to do with untruthfulness as to whether the child was in the household.

Prosecutor Jesse O'Neill says the state has turned over its evidence to Garrity, who says the plea offer is "extraordinarily high."

In the peace of sitting with our son on the front porch, J was talking about school. Out of the blue, he said “I wish Harmony could come to my school with me. I miss her.” It was a gut punch reminder to us on many levels. We all must do more. #harmonymontgomery

The NH Attorney General's office says Kayla Montgomery, the stepmother of Harmony Montgomery, has been arrested. She's accused of "receiving or retaining a rifle and a shotgun" in 2019, "knowing that the firearms had been stolen or believing that they had probably been stolen".

Shouldn't these be Federal charges?
There may be additional charges on this issue.

Missing girl's stepmom pleads not guilty to gun charges
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The stepmother of a missing New Hampshire girl accused of lying that the child was living with her to collect welfare benefits pleaded not guilty Wednesday to new, unrelated charges that she received stolen firearms, days after the girl’s father was arrested on similar charges.
Kayla Montgomery, 31, is accused of receiving a rifle and a shotgun between Sept. 29 and Oct. 22 of 2019, knowing that they had been stolen or believing they had probably been stolen.
Montgomery, who was arrested Tuesday, waived arraignment. A bail hearing hasn't been scheduled.

Was she still being held or had she been previously released on the other charges?

Kayla Montgomery makes brief court appearance, bail and probable cause hearing pushed to May 5
MANCHESTER, NH – A bail and probable cause hearing for Kayla Montgomery, stepmother to missing 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery, on charges of possessing a stolen rifle was continued until May 5.
Montgomery, 31, appeared briefly on Friday in Hillsborough County Superior Court Northern District where the hearing was to take place. Montgomery is charged with two counts of receiving stolen property, a rifle belonging to CF.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Jesse O’Neill and defense attorney Paul Garrity, however, agreed to continue the case until May 5.
That hearing is to determine bail on all Montgomery’s charges including two counts of receiving stolen property, the rifle, and one count each of theft and welfare fraud alleging she obtained more than $1,500 in food stamps by claiming Harmony was living with her and her husband, Adam Montgomery, when she wasn’t. The couple is now estranged.
None of the charges is related to Harmony’s disappearance.
O’Neill on Friday declined comment.
Garrity told members of the media that prior to the May 5 hearing the state is going to provide the defense with some additional discovery which he will review with his client.

Plea deal still on the table for Harmony Montgomery’s step mother
MANCHESTER, N.H. — More than two years after Harmony Montgomery disappeared, the little girl’s step mother was in Hillsborough County Superior Court for a brief hearing Friday, where Kayla Montgomery’s lawyer told me a plea deal is still on the table.
Kayla Montgomery is charged with welfare fraud and a stolen gun possession charge, but she is not charged with Harmony’s disappearance.
Investigators believe Kayla Montgomery knows more about Harmony’s whereabouts, but has refused to say more.
Recently, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office offered Kayla Montgomery a plea deal.
Outside court Friday, I asked Montgomery’s defense attorney Paul Garrity about the deal.
In response, Garrity said, “there was one offered by the state. I cannot tell you anything beyond that.”
When asked where that stands, he said, “the offer is still on the table, it has not been accepted at this point.”
*************************
I asked Paul Garrity if Kayla might be thinking about cooperating with police.
“I can’t disclose what she has told me,” Garrity said. “All I can tell you is, she maintains a not guilty plea, the charge that is pending against her relate to welfare fraud and now these gun charges.”
When asked if she is still maintaining that Adam gave Harmony back to Crystal (Harmony’s mom), Garrity said he can’t discuss what Kayla has told him.

Police chief says someone knows what happened to Harmony (wmur.com)
[...]
In four months, 750 tips have come in. But the chief said he thinks the break needed in the case will come from the public. He said it's possible that fear of retribution could be holding people back.
"That's what pisses me off," Aldenberg said. "Their own selfish reasons, their own self-preservation — that somehow outweighs the life of a little girl?"
The chief said he's surprised that a $150,000 reward hasn't motivated the right person to step up. He said he's confident that people in the community have information, and he said it's time to ask hard questions to those close to the 7-year-old.
[...]
Aldenberg said that if anyone wants to talk to him directly, he will take the call, any time of day or night, at 603-792-5400.

I'm sorry for the Chief's frustration but I think we know that rewards typically only serve to keep the media's interest in the missing person's story. Very seldom if ever are rewards ever redeemed. Currently, we have huge rewards for Harmony, Lina, Summer, etc., and previously large rewards for Xavior, Mollie,... and no information generated for love or money.
