Adam Montgomery’s Murder Conviction Is Gone — Harmony Still Has No Grave

Crystal Sorey fought her way back from addiction to find her daughter. What she found was a two-year silence from every system that was supposed to protect Harmony Montgomery. Sorey was the one who went to Manchester police and sounded the alarm. Not child services. Not the courts. A mother who had lost custody and clawed her way to sobriety, searching for a child the state had already lost.

The New Hampshire Supreme Court has now reversed Adam Montgomery’s second-degree murder conviction, ruling that a procedural flaw in how the trial was structured denied him a fair proceeding. Montgomery’s convictions for assault, evidence tampering, witness tampering, and desecrating Harmony’s remains all stand. He remains in prison. The state plans to retry the murder charge. But for the family that has waited since December 2019 for something that looks like justice, the reversal lands like a second loss.

Harmony’s brother Jamison asked the court to know that he hopes his sister is eating M&Ms in heaven and that her glasses are safe. Her mother told Adam Montgomery at sentencing that Harmony had a life worth living, unlike his own. Jamison’s adoptive parents said it plainly after the reversal: more protection is in place for this monster than Harmony Montgomery ever received.

Tony Brueski walks through every failure — the Massachusetts judge who handed Harmony to a man with a violent criminal record, the DCYF caseworker who documented bruises and declared everything fine, the prosecution that built its case in a way the Supreme Court could dismantle, and the man who knows where his daughter is and has chosen silence as his final act of control. Harmony Montgomery deserved better from every person and every institution that touched her life. She is still waiting.
