Dad Stuffed Daughter's Body in Bag, Took it to Work, Prosecutors Say

The murder trial of Adam Montgomery opened with shocking revelations as prosecutors painted a grim picture of the 34-year-old New Hampshire father's alleged actions leading to the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery. Montgomery, facing charges including second-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and falsifying physical evidence, stands accused of a heinous crime that has left the community reeling. According to prosecutors, Montgomery's treatment of his daughter was nothing short of horrific. Allegations suggest that Montgomery beat Harmony to death in a fit of rage, driven by her bathroom accidents in their family car, which doubled as their home following a recent eviction. The prosecution claims that Montgomery then callously went about his day, indulging in fast food and drugs while ignoring Harmony's cries of pain from the backseat. The most chilling revelation came as prosecutors detailed how Montgomery allegedly concealed Harmony's body. Day after day, Montgomery is accused of bringing Harmony's decomposing remains to the restaurant where he worked as a cook and dishwasher, storing her compressed body in a tote bag in the freezer alongside food and ingredients. The court heard how coworkers unwittingly witnessed Montgomery's routine, unaware of the grisly contents of the bag he carried. Prosecutors painted a disturbing picture of Montgomery's actions following Harmony's death. Allegedly, Montgomery stored her lifeless body in a duffel bag in the trunk of his car, making preparations to dispose of her remains. The prosecution claims Montgomery bought tools and rented a moving truck, all in an attempt to erase any evidence of his gruesome crime. In defense, Montgomery's attorney argued that his client did not harm Harmony and instead accused Montgomery's estranged wife, Kayla Montgomery, of fabricating the events to protect herself. Kayla, who is serving a sentence for perjury, is expected to testify against Montgomery, further complicating the trial. As the trial unfolds, the community watches with bated breath, grappling with the harrowing details of Harmony's tragic death. Montgomery's fate hangs in the balance, with the potential of a life sentence if convicted. The trial serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of innocence and the profound impact of senseless violence on families and communities alike.   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
