GUILTY NH - Harmony Montgomery, 7, Manchester, missing after placed in Father's Custody in 2019, reported 2021, *1 Guilty perjury, 1 guilty weapons* #3

This girl’s sweet face haunts me. How could you do anything but love her?

 

[Laughing]

I don't think the statement is misleading at all, IIR - Sorey didn't make the call until prompted by Jameson's adoptive parents who were asking about her.

Keep in mind that Sorey's parental rights were terminated by a court.

No attempted contact, no attempted communication is reasonable. Sad, but reasonable.

That Harmony could be living with Jamison & other brothers -- gives this hurt additional dimensions. People were ready to love & nurture & shelter Harmony yet were denied the opportunity.

Reminds me of Erica Parsons:

NC - Erica Lynn Parsons, 13, Rowan County, 19 Nov 2011 - #1

Snipped... Erica Parsons is described as 4 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing between 85 and 90 pounds. She has a thin build. She has brown eyes and brown hair. The missing person’s poster states Erica Parsons may possibly be in the Asheville area...

I guess the mods can change the title and add arrested to it. She must not br missing if this is a MURDER charge.

Not necessarily. Suzanne Morphew and Jennifer Dulos are still missing and murder charges were filed. Prosecuting a no-body homicide is not uncommon.

‘This Isn't Fair': Harmony Montgomery's Mom Decries Plea Deal Offered to Stepmother

Harmony Montgomery’s mom Crystal Sorey says she wasn’t happy when she heard from investigators this week that Kayla Montgomery had reached a plea deal.

www.necn.com

Harmony Montgomery’s mom Crystal Sorey says she wasn’t happy when she heard from investigators this week that Kayla Montgomery had reached a plea deal.

“I told them how I felt,” said Sorey. “This isn’t fair. She was a part of it.”

Sorey says Kayla Montgomery is getting off easy.

“As far as I’m concerned Kayla can rot,” said Sorey.

According to court documents, Kayla Montgomery will plead guilty to perjury charges. She’ll serve less than two years behind bars, in exchange for cooperating in the investigation into Harmony’s murder.

“It means she’s doing it for herself so she can see the light of day again,” said Sorey. “So she can one day be free. She’s not doing it for Harmony.”

[ChatteringBirds]

I don't believe in the death penalty, but if I did, it would be for people like the one who murdered Harmony.

IMO they were too easy on Kayla with this deal. She deserves so much more time behind bars.

The stepmother of a New Hampshire girl who disappeared in 2019 at age 5 and is presumed dead was sent to prison for at least a year and a half Friday after pleading guilty to perjury charges.

Kayla Montgomery, 32, pleaded guilty to two charges alleging that she lied to a grand jury about working at a doughnut shop on Nov. 30, 2019, the day she said she last saw Harmony Montgomery. She also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors who have charged her estranged husband with second-degree murder in the child’s death.

In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges that Montgomery lied to state health officials about having the child in her care in order to collect welfare benefits and that she received stolen firearms.

She did not speak at her hearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court other than to indicate that she understood the details of the plea agreement. She was sentenced to 3½ to seven years in prison, with 1½ years of the minimum suspended and given credit for time already served.

Without her plea and her testimony, it may be difficult if not impossible to charge him with Harmony's death. I sincerely hope they are able to get a guilty verdict against him. What would be even better is they could find her and get a guilty verdict.
