What Does Harmony Montgomery’s Family Do Now That the Murder Conviction Has Been Reversed?

The conviction that was supposed to say what happened to Harmony Montgomery is gone. The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled unanimously that trying the murder alongside a separate assault charge in a single trial denied Adam Montgomery a fair proceeding. The strong assault evidence — multiple witnesses, documented injuries — contaminated the jury’s evaluation of the murder case, which depended on one witness with serious credibility problems. Prosecutors have vowed to retry. But for the families connected to this case, the reversal reopens wounds that were never close to healed.
Harmony was five years old when she died. She had cycled in and out of foster care. A Massachusetts judge placed her in Adam Montgomery’s custody in New Hampshire — a decision that drew intense criticism of the child protective services system. Crystal Sorey, Harmony’s birth mother, won a fifteen-and-a-half-million-dollar wrongful death judgment against Adam Montgomery in a separate civil proceeding and reached a two-and-a-quarter-million-dollar settlement with the State of New Hampshire. Harmony’s brother’s adoptive fathers called the reversal “absolutely disgusting,” saying more protection exists for Adam Montgomery than Harmony ever received.
Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta explains what this ruling actually changes and what it doesn’t. Adam Montgomery is not getting out — he still faces decades on surviving convictions for assault, falsifying evidence, witness tampering, and desecrating Harmony’s remains, plus a thirty-two-and-a-half-year firearms sentence. But the murder conviction carried something the other charges cannot: a legal declaration of what happened to this child and who did it. That declaration has been erased. Prosecutors say they will retry. And Harmony has still never been found. Adam Montgomery still will not tell anyone where he put his daughter.
