WATCH LIVE: Adam Montgomery goes on trial for daughter Harmony Montgomery’s murder

The granite hills, winding roads, and set-back yards of New Hampshire are often the stuff of picture postcards. But life was far from idyllic during the short one lived by Harmony Montgomery, 5, who was killed in late 2019 and whose body has still never been recovered.

Adam Montgomery, 33, stands accused of murder in the second degree for allegedly killing Harmony by “repeatedly striking” her “in the head with a closed fist.” He is also charged with assault in the second degree, witness tampering, and falsifying physical evidence.

On Wednesday afternoon, after nearly two days of jury selection, 12 jurors and five alternates were selected from a pool of over 215 potential members of the Manchester community.

Montgomery’s trial began in earnest after the jury of his peers was seated to hear evidence he killed his daughter who, despite the intervention of child welfare authorities, seemingly had every chance, and ultimately her life, stolen away by adults meant to help her.
