Harmony Montgomery

Montgomery spent the early years of her life in DCF custody, and in 2019, the Juvenile Court of Massachusetts awarded custody to her father, Adam. New Hampshire officials declared her missing in December.

“I want New Hampshire to be held accountable,” Crystal Sorey said this weekend. “I want the governor to say, ‘OK, we dropped the ball here.’”

A new report released by Gov. Chris Sununu’s office on Friday suggests that New Hampshire’s child protection agency missed several potentially key opportunities to ensure the safety of the 7-year-old before she was declared missing in December 2021.

The girl from Manchester, New Hampshire, has been missing since late 2019.
