Harmony Montgomery’s father ‘strangled her mom while pregnant’ as he’s arrested over the 7-year-old’s disappearance
THE mom of a missing seven-year-old has alleged that the girl's dad was "violent" and strangled her while pregnant as cops continue their search.
Adam Montgomery was arrested last week on charges linked with his daughter Harmony Montgomery's disappearance after mom Crystal reported her missing two years after she was last seen.
Crystal Sorey last saw her daughter on Facetime in 2019 and has claimed she spent months trying to report Harmony's disappearance.
She spoke with NewsNation on Monday, claiming "violent" Adam strangled her countless times while she was pregnant.
On Monday, the FBI Evidence Response Team arrived at the Harmony Montgomery search in Manchester, New Hampshire, as police thawed the frozen ground in the backyard with hot water piping.
Harmony, who was not in the care of her biological mother Crystal, had not been seen since October 2019.
But her disappearance wasn't reported until two years later during the last week of December 2021.
On January 9, Sorey told : “Hi, baby. If you can see me and hear me, I want you to know that I never stopped looking for you and I won't stop fighting until I find you, okay.”

Sorey said she last saw Harmony over Facetime around Easter 2019.
But after that, Adam Montgomery, who had legal custody, blocked all contact.
This week, Harmony’s step-mom, Kayla Montgomery, and father have faced separate charges in court.
Kayla was arrested on January 5 and charged with a felony count of welfare fraud after allegedly continuing to claim food stamp benefits for Harmony for more than a year after she was last seen.
Adam was charged with felony second-degree assault stemming from alleged 2019 conduct against Harmony.
The 31-year-old is also facing a misdemeanor charge of interference with custody and two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
But so far nobody has been arrested in connection with her disappearance.
COP RAID
Police recently raided a home in Manchester where Harmony was last known to have lived, according to the New Hampshire .
City assessor records show that the home was sold in 2020, just months after Harmony disappeared.
Police also revealed that "many family members" have been spoken to as the investigation continues.
Harmony used to take care of her little brother, Jamison, as they bounced around the foster care system but were ultimately separated in 2019.
The seven-year-old was purportedly reunited with her biological father in February 2019, and Jamison was adopted by local FOX affiliate WFXT-TV correspondent and his husband Johnathon Miller in November 2019.
Even at a young age, Jamison is very aware and keeps asking where his sister is, Blair told The Sun.
According to police, Harmony was last enrolled in school in Massachusetts in 2019.
New Hampshire officials have not released information about current investigations in Massachusetts.
Harmony has been described as being 4 feet tall and weighing around 50 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes, wears glasses, and is blind in her right eye.
The most recent photos of Harmony show her at five years old, though the missing girl is now seven.
Manchester Police Department urges anyone with information to call (603) 668-8711.
