Harmony Montgomery murder trial recap: Opening statements and emotional testimony

Harmony's biological mother Crystal Sorey was among those who took the stand Thursday, describing herself as begging Adam Montgomery to let her see her daughter after she lost custody of her in 2019the second day of the murder trial of Adam Montgomery

“Adam Montgomery did not cause Harmony’s death. Kayla Montgomery was the last person to see Harmony alive,” defense attorney James Brooks argued Thursday. Authorities say Harmony died December 7, 2019, in a car she was living in with father, stepmother and two younger stepbrothers in Manchester. They say Harmony passed away after her father hit her and her body eventually ended up in a bag, which prosecutors say Montgomery moved to places like a homeless shelter and apartment. Police didn’t declare the child missing until 2021, and her remains have yet to be found.

“I just kept reaching out to Adam and Kayla and Kayla and asking them, begging them to see her. I was sorry for whatever did even sure what I did,” Sorey told the jury.
