The New Hampshire man found guilty of murdering his 5-year-old daughter could be sentenced to life in prison Thursday, according to court documents.
A jury found Adam Montgomery guilty in February of second-degree murder in the 2019 death of Harmony Montgomery, who was reported missing in 2021. He was also found guilty of second-degree assault, witness tampering, falsifying physical evidence and abuse of a corpse, according to court documents.
Prosecutors have asked that Montgomery be sentenced to 56 years to life in prison for all of the crimes, according to a sentencing memo.
CNN reached out to Montgomery’s attorneys, Caroline Smith and James Brooks, for comment.
Authorities concluded that Harmony was killed in December 2019 in Manchester. Her remains have not been found, though a judge declared her legally dead in March at the request of her mother, Crystal Sorey, CNN affiliate WMUR reported.
Montgomery murdered Harmony on December 7, 2019, and then engaged in the “transportation and consolidation of her body over three months” before disposing of her corpse on March 4, 2020, prosecutors said in the sentencing memo.
