Court paperwork obtained by the outlet on Tuesday are lastly giving the world some solutions as to what really occurred to Harmony Montgomery, and the story is extra horrifying than anybody initially thought…
The authorized docs inform the story of how Adam, Kayla, and their two youngsters have been residing of their Chrysler Sebring after they acquired evicted from their condo in 2019. On a number of events, Adam grew to become enraged together with his 5-year-old daughter as a result of she wasn’t telling anybody when she wanted to make use of the toilet, resulting in her having accidents and wetting herself within the automobile. This is what led the person to allegedly putting and killing her with a closed fist.
His estranged spouse informed investigators in December of 2019 that whereas her husband was driving prior, she had one other accident, and that’s when he struck her. She mentioned Adam felt or heard one thing when he hit her for the final time, and allegedly mentioned:
“I think I really hurt her this time. I think I did something.”
Gut-wrenchingly, nobody helped the poor lady, and she or he was left making moaning noises within the again seat for about 5 minutes earlier than all her noises — and her respiratory — stopped. Police mentioned within the affidavit:
“At no time did anyone stop or get Harmony medical attention as the result of this assault.”
So, so terrible! And from there, issues solely acquired worse…
Allegedly, the mother and father didn’t know till 8 or 9 a.m. the subsequent day that their daughter hadn’t survived — they didn’t even examine on her till their Chrysler broke down! This is when, Kayla claims, Adam grabbed an Under Armour duffel bag and stuffed his daughter’s physique in it. After this, they moved her physique round with them as they modified areas a number of instances.
A household pal got here to the rescue after their automobile broke down, and drove them out to his condo the place he allow them to dwell in his Audi. Per experiences, they stayed within the automobile for as much as three days with Harmony’s physique within the trunk.
After this, the accusations state, they moved in with Kayla’s mom and her mom’s boyfriend, and that’s the place they hid Harmony’s physique within the freezer. Then, in December, they went to a Families in Transition shelter — the place it’s claimed they hid the duffel bag within the ceiling vents! Yes, they allegedly introduced their daughter’s useless physique to a shelter and hid it amongst all of the residents! And at this level, Kayla recalled the decomposition setting in:
“Kayla stated that during this time, there was liquid coming from the bag containing Harmony’s dead body, and there was an odor. She said Adam placed a trash bag around the bag to keep it from leaking.”
So brutal and disgusting… Why wasn’t anybody elevating alarms or reporting her lacking?! Someone needed to have observed she was absent, as typically as they have been shifting round!
They apparently moved her physique a couple of extra instances, too. They used a plastic container to “push” the physique from the shelter to their new condo on Union Street in Manchester, then transferred the bag into one other bag to maintain it from leaking, earlier than sealing it away within the fridge. At some level, Adam allegedly eliminated her physique from the duffel and trash baggage, and spent six hours placing it in a Catholic Medical Center maternity bag.

It’s mentioned he stored the physique locked away within the Portland Pie Company‘s walk-in freezer for a week before returning it home. Then, the claims continue, he decided to remove the body once again to “add lime” to help with decomposition. At this point, it just seems like these parents were playing with their daughter’s corpse! Just sickening…
It wasn’t till spring 2022 — an entire two and a half years after Harmony’s disappearance — Kayla says Adam rented a U-Haul and through a late night time drive, he dumped the physique in “an unknown destination.” She mentioned he got here again dwelling early that morning, however by no means informed her the place he went.
