#CourtTV - Is this justice?
Justice would have been a proper burial and headstone for Harmony along with the ruling.
However, that was Adam that prevented that, not the courts. So yes, the Judge did good. Consecutive sentences, as it should be. Justice is Served.
It's not really correct to say 'Where is Harmony?' It would be correct to say 'Where is Harmony's body?' or 'Where are Harmony's remains?' Harmony herself is free -- thankfully her soul is free from the extreme torment she endured in her short life from her father (and likely from her stepmother as well who didn't care about her either).
Adam probably threw the bag into a dumpster and it ended up at a landfill. Because of all the years that have gone by, I doubt her remains will ever be recovered.
Absolutely not
Justice would be the death penalty
No, his miserable life is worthless, can't pay for the life he took.
Kayla should be rotting away with Adam, even in her victim impact statement she pleads her love?? Pathetic! Nothing about poor Harmony, she's evil.
Yes I was disgusted in what kayla said,We worked so hard to get harmony, confessing she will always love him,it made me so angry
So agree, it was horrid and selfish of her to make it all about her, she’s complicit in this crime and should be locked away forever too.
No can do because she spilled the beans. She's a free monster
It sickened me to my core to hear what she said. It was her one chance to be moral and show some ethics and do the right thing. She could have apologised to Harmony's loved ones. How she could love a vile creature with a black heart I don't know? She is so pathetic and needy she wasted the opportunity she was given to do some good and used it to tell Adam she would still be there for him regardless of how deranged he is. They both deserve no mercy. Thank God neither of them can harm Harmony again.
I 100 % agree that Kayla should be charged the same as Adam
The fact that he doesn’t get a death sentence is disgusting.
New Hampshire doesn’t have the DP sadly. Hopefully prison justice will find Adam.
45 years is not enough
Death penalty imo but to each their own state laws 🥲
That's consecutive to his 30 year sentence for weapons charges. Plus consecutive to the abuse of a corpse and the physical assault.
All those sentences combined running consecutively means he has nearly 90 years to serve before he can even go up for parole the first time, which would make him 118 yrs old at his first parole hearing.
He's gonna be dead before he even serves 5 years. He's not welcome in the inmate's house.
@@KatSpade1018 Exactly 👍🏼
He's not going to make it long in prison. The inmates will k*## this monster in no time.
His butt hole won't last 45 seconds
I can’t believe this punk won’t give up the location of his very own daughter 😢😡
He is evil to the core. I don’t think he will give the location up.
Heartless monster.
@@Jen-eb2zp I agree 💯
Not only did he not do it out of respect for Harmony deserving a proper burial, his son that witnessed what he did to his big sister begged him to give him a place to sit with his sister and be with her, sitting next to a grave sight. This demon still refuses!!! How can someone have so much straight up Mean inside of them.
It makes me wonder, what did he do with her remains that he refuses to let her rest and give his son the tiniest crumb of emotional relief. Did he dispose of her in such a horrid or disrespectful manner that he's refusing to let anyone know cause it would make him an even bigger piece of 💩 than he already is. Somehow. I mean he couldn't fall much lower. What the hell did he do with that baby.
@@KatSpade1018 Something horrible is my guess 🤷🏻♀️ He’s going to pay the price with prison justice
He’s controlling, it’s the LAST SHRED of control he can hold. I hope the prisoners get it out of him. I hope BOTH rot in jail, Kayla is fkn DISGUSTING TOO.
Why was Kayla even allowed to make a “victim” impact statement?
The love letter was disgusting! How dare she ?!
Omg! Who could do such a thing. He will live in fear for the rest of his life. Inmates hate anyone who commits crimes against children. I hope he lives in abject Misery. For years.
THIS LETTER SPEAKS VOLUMES
Kayla was obviously NOT impacted at all by the violent murder of Harmoney in front of her children.
She only mourns the loss of her sick evil partner in drugs and crime 😮
She's only ever put herself first, her feelings. Actions speak louder than words and she showed that when dhe allowed her children to witness their sisters violent death. Shes scum.
@@valansley I still believe the girlfriend had more to do with the death of Harmony. He said he would "take the fall" for the death of Harmony.
“Good-bye for now. Maybe I’ll see you again sometime” 🥺
Kayla needs to be locked up just as long as him. She had no remorse for Harmony. She saw him kill her and did nothing.
nope
Everyone close to Harmony should also be charged for not saying anything for two years...!
How about the judge who gave Harmony to Adam? The social worker who showed up two weeks later when the black eye was already healed? Why are they not charged?
Harmony never stood a chance and was failed by so many. 😢
The uncle tried to get her help but the worker gave up because she was gone when he showed up. Like wtf? If someone is alarmed enough to turn their own family into cps and they can’t be bothered to even check on the child in person, our system is deeply broken.
This was extremely hard to watch. Rot Adam
Good Bye for now?!? Gross! 🤮
makes a normal human want to Vomit.
seriously brings tears to my eyes.
I live in Manchester NH and have followed this story since the beginning. A bunch of scumbag, drug addicted losers (Adam, Kayla, Crystal, etc.)....they all failed this precious child's life. And that impact statement from Kayla? She needs to rot in jail too!!!!
Thank You! I was obviously sickened by Kayla's love letter which had zero to do with Harmony. She should be doing the same amount of time as Adam and I'm so glad you included Crystal. Her statement was sickening too.
Adam couldn't stand that Harmony wasn't like him but instead just like her mother? No the hell she wasn't like either of them. She kept holding herself in high regard and admonishing him.
She's just as guilty too.
The second the courts said one word about taking her child away should have been the same second that she become stone cold sober.
She knew that Adam was abusive and Harmony wouldn't be safe with him but she chose to keep getting high rather than protect her daughter and be a mother. Not only that, she has another child and he gets taken away and she still continued using drugs.
She said the last time she face timed with Harmony that she seemed frightened and nervous. Then the next sentence out of her mouth was "when I hadn't heard from her again for 5 months, I contacted Adam".
Wtf did she say. Her child was frightened and nervous so she tries calling her 5 months later! Couldn't stuff her dumb@$$ in a car and drive to Adam's house and see why her daughter is so afraid and if she's ok. No matter how long she has to drive.
Nope she just hangs up the phone and continues to get high until she finally gives her daughter a second thought 5 months later. She's just as responsible for what happened as the other two losers. All 3 of them have a helluva lot of nerve 😡
The only two people that loved and cared for Harmony were her foster parents. I wouldn't let the other three look after a stuffed toy.
So have i and couldnt have said it better myself. Harmony deserved so much better than 🗑️ she was born into. Reunification should not always be the goal. Harmony’s life was 66 months, 44 of those months in foster care with the Raffertys. Harmony would most likely be alive & well today if her “parent’s” rights were terminated early on; as they should’ve been.
@@notsorryyouretriggeredI agree, extremely well said! HARMONY 💕🙏
@@KatSpade1018 I agree totally! Little Harmony had no chance. How I wish that she could have been adopted and shown love. She deserved that. RIP beautiful girl 🌷🙏
Dear men in prison, please help this father experience the life he gave his daughter.
How inappropriate and insensitive Kayla’s letter was, unbelievable. She’s sill more concerned with her relationship to him than the appalling way Harmony suffered.
Kayla's letter was unacceptable. 😡😡
It wasn't even a victim impact statement. It was all about herself and Adam.
Yeah it was like a love letter... A reluctant break up letter with hints of HOPE that they could find each other again years from now. 💌
They shouldn’t have allowed her to read that in court, it had nothing to do with Harmony.
She (Kayla) pisses me off 😡
@@joanneclarke952 yeah .. I tried to understand... Defend her but I can't after knowing the details. She is a weak worm of a woman.
KM’s “love letter “ statement to AM is ridiculous!!😤😤 can’t believe she’s getting out soon!!!😡😡😡
She is out. She is on parole.
Let's hope for outside justice ⚖️
He wont tell where she is because he doesnt want anyone yo see what he did to her.
That very well could be. Good thing is he will receive worse by his fellow inmates
That is exactly why. Why did he do that was so shameful that he won't even disclose it at a sentencing for murdering her.
Wouldn't do it out of respect for Harmony and wouldn't do it when his son begged for a place to sit and visit with his deceased sister. He is something else. I can't imagine where he must have discarded her.
@@KatSpade1018 I’ve read several of your comments and I agree with all 100%
He will be served prison justice sooner than we could hope for
I’m sure you’ve seen the videos where he refuses to speak to the detectives ? he knows exactly what’s coming to him and how it’s going to go down
@mobileasaurus I think she was pretty well decomposed to be able to find out what he did to her. And then the time she has been out in the elements.
He destroyed her body i dont think theres anything left 💔its so sad
17:24 "you were supposed to protect her" ... yeah Mom, you were.
Mom should just sit down and reflect. Every damned criticism she has for the POS AM should be applied to her as well.
Exactly 💯 shame needs to make a come back.
@@saralyinn0519The only thing crystal said that i feel might be somewhat authentic; was that on the day Harmony passed away she woke up in extreme physical pain.
Maybe that was the universe’s way of telling her she failed as a mother.
@@MaisyMimiyesss!!
Everyone saying CPS failed this child,
No the parents failed this child
"She had a life worth living, unlike yours." Love that truth bomb ❤
Brain washed idiot she is
Children are at risk of death nowdays- not by strangers but their own families. Top trials now are Daybell, Montgomery, Gregor. What is wrong with people??
I have noticed the younger people are killing their offspring and in horrible ways. They are violent. No way will I ever go into a nursing home. Those young folk will be the workers and they are not to be trusted with anyone's safety. All those teenage pregnancies from back in the 80's are catching up to us now with multiple generations of disfunction. Now we are seeing the result.
unfortunately, if Harmony was murdered at a max of the year 2019, her remains are most likely dwindled down to bones and would have scavenger marks if she was discarded outdoors. for reference, an adult body in a coffin begins to decompose after 1 year but can take up to a decade dependent on the coffin, the encasement, embalming, etc.

Kayla loves Adam. No matter what happens. Scary.
More stupid than scary.
Yup. No telling what thing she's gonna share her bed with next. She's a very sick and dangerous woman.
Kayla is a complete monster herself
Damn right it was a love letter, Sickening.
Too think Harmony could have been with her brother and two great parents so sad.
👎👎👎🐒🐒🐒🤘🤘🤘🐵🐵🐵There are 3 ways to write the sound ( word ) 2, namely, two, too & to. You have chosen the wrong & simplest one. This is such basic English that I must conclude that you have had no formal education, none. Your American citizenship should be revoked & you should be deported to your ancestor's home country.
Pos. Prisoners get him quick!!!
Where did her biological mother think her daughter was for 2yrs. Didn't she keep in touch?
She was looking for her daughter that is how the authorities got involved.
No she didnt and CPS couldnt get in contact with her either.
Her mother tried but Adam would delete his Facebook account so she couldn't Facetime with Harmony. Adam was given full custody. It was the mother that sounded the alarm.
@@MM-ik7cs I remember when it was the mother pleading the news media to help search for her daughter. CPS is a joke.
@@rlizabethcastillo5541 Same.💔
Crystal has blood on her hands since she is a part of why that child is dead.
Agreed. I have zero pity for addicts who give birth to children. They are the worst of the worst.
The impact statement from the “mother” was shocking. you didn’t notice she was missing for 2 years. Everything like you then list amazing qualities about yourself 🙄 really. Poor little girl had no chance with these people.
I'm so glad that the adoptive parents of Jameson were allowed to speak because adoptive parents of Jameson were allowed to speak! ❤
Shameful Behavior from the so-called Mother; who clearly was not involved in Harmony's Life. If she were, she would've reported the little girl missing. Poor little Harmony. May Adam Montgomery Rot in Hell!
Crystal is a hypocrite. Go look in the mirror Crystal and take accountability. Remember why that child was taken away from you AGAIN AND AGAIN. You FAILED all your children.
Kayla is equally guilty
Harmony mom is a fraud too tbh
Kayla knows where Harmony is she should not have a deal without releasing that information!
The stories about Harmony’s brother is absolutely heartbreaking. That little boy’s innocence and trust in people has been taken away. I wish him peace. Thankfully it seems that he has an amazing support system.
Am I the only person upset with Harmony’s mother too? Not as angered by her so called dad but….
We are too
@@ql6746 Right?!? 2 years, 24 months before thinking where is my daughter?!? Worse why is your daughter not with you in the FIRST PLACE?!? 😡
I can't stand that woman! She's great at deflecting how she played a part in the tragedy but portrying herself like the Mother of the Year who is the victim. Harmony spent less than 2 years of her life with her, the most part of her life was spent with the foster family.
@@saralyinn0519 is it fair to say I don’t believe she should have been allowed to give a victim impact statement?
If she truly loved harmony, she would’ve been in her life IMO
I can’t believe the drugs brought her more happiness than her own daughter 🤷🏻♀️
Then lists a qualities about HERSELF that apparently harmony had… really?! Her whole speech was about her and not her precious baby. This was a beautiful innocent child. The parents are both pure scum. Who the f is comforting this negligent mother, failed in every way. No sympathy, she tried to claim compensation on a child she barely raised.
Oh my gosh the brother’s parents’ speech broke my heart. No baby deserves this
With both loser and riff raff parents, the kid didn't stand a chance of having a healthy, loving and safe environment to grow up in. RIP Harmony!
The legal system contributed to her demise for not allowing a loving, sober family to raise her😭
Exactly
Kaylas letter was outrageous. The fact she wouldn't come to sentencing and sent a victim advocate and proceeded to centre herself instead of Harmony 🤮
And can I say, hearing what Jameson was going through was absolutely heartbreaking 💔 the worst thing of all is how this murder has affected everyone who loved her, but the impact on her little brother was the saddest
What else can you expect from a woman who watched the man "she loves" beat a child to death in one of the most brutal assaults ever, then sat in the car and ate Burger King while the child died a slow and agonizing death? She's a monster and I feel pity for her own children. God help them.
Who the hell and where was the judge and the court located that agreed for him to have full custody. That judge should be gone.
The system totally FAILED that child!!
Yes. In the worst way. They should've let her be adopted along with her brother. Whomever gave him custody should be disbarred. They contributed to her demise.
No the parents failed this child
No the parents failed this child
He is a monster.
The impact statement from the adoptive parents of Jameson was heartbreaking.
Kayla is as despicable as he is both vile monsters and she assisted him throughout and watch and took part in every event after !! Horrendous and zero remorse from the pair of them .
Crystal does not deserve the title of mother! She failed her precious lil girl as well!
He should NEVER be let out of prison! Seeing that he doesn't have any morals and rules don't apply to him, he will likely never be eligible for parole.
That’s what I said vinnie . It was a love letter and I’m sure the judge read it how did she approve this … insane ?!
All that meth didnt help his hairline much
I am so sorry for Jamison. I am so sorry for the people who feel loss and pain for Harmony. I feel pain when thinking about her. Adam will never feel anything. Perhaps when he meets his maker he will be made accountable. Harmony is so loved and we will never forget her. Adam is so worthless no body cares about what happens to him. No one will cry for him, he will not be missed. RIP little angel.
I cried so much hearing what that little boy had said to his dads,God bless him
@@annettelacey7913 OMW it was really what broke me watching. Here these two real men who did not know Harmony but through Jamison were weeping for their son's loss and pain and in comparison Harmony's own father feels nothing. This case is the biggest travesty of justice. So many people love and cry for her. I think of all the nuture and affection she deserved. I am crying now. He is the lowest most disgusting man. How could he have done that? I can't hurt an ant. I truly hope he has a miserable existence from here on out. Harmony will be with me always. I won't ever forget her. She deserves remembrance.
@@LULULB371yes she does and a place to rest and a headstone and a spot for her brother to sit down on the grass and visit with his sister and talk to her and tell her how much he misses her. She deserves a life because hers was stolen.
She'll hold a special place in my heart too. I agree, the two dads of her brother is what broke me and his little desperate plea for his sister that he loved so much with her blonde hair and pretty blue eyes and wondering if she has her glasses and if they're broken or not. 😭
That baby saw the glasses broken after what was done to her I bet and he remembers.
There's a nation full of ppl that would have been honored to raise that precious little girl. Two of them should have been her own mom and dad. The dads and her brother would have been wonderful.
This creature sickens me.
@@KatSpade1018 everything you said is just how I feel. How amazing it could of been if the Dad's of Jamison had adopted them both. I live in South Africa and we mourn her too. I would have been honoured to raise her. This case has haunted me and I am disgusted by that creature who terrorised her. My heart just aches. It is the unatural nature of the situation where the parents were not what parents should be and outsiders are wishing they could of protected her. I know her Mom did her best to get clean but it was too little too late. She should of been saved by the system. She was failed. I pray she gets her resting place and Jamison and the families get a place to go and speak to her. I pray she is at peace and has forgotten suffering and pain. I pray for the souls of all these babies being harmed by those who should love and protect them. I hope the system changes and this kind of thing stops. I cannot stand the innocents in this world being harmed. They don't deserve to suffer.
Could it be They were so damn high they have no idea where THEY put the baby? Pathetic 😡
I've greatly considered that too
Adam knows, but withholding that information is his last piece of control over Harmony.
@@GinaE1271 His wife should know in that incase. She needs to tell.
I still believe they were to high to remember 🥲
He has no remorse for what he's done to his own daughter.
This Crystal woman needs to get off her high horse and stop being the pot that's calling the kettle black. AM is supposed to protect Harmony. But so is she! She really wants to sell us the idea that if AM had left Harmony with her, "she would be thriving?" LOL!! She criticised AM being high, but woman, guess why you lost custody of your beautiful daughter?? And speaking of beautiful, yes, we all know now how Harmony was "everything" like you. "Beautiful, funny, smart and sassy." The impact statement was not much of a tribute to Harmony. But everything about her. "Did she cry for me?" No, woman, you are not getting the Mother of the Year award.
So true.
nice insight
How the hell is kayla walking free and breathing the fresh clean air??
Hateful to the end, he hated his daughter and her mother like Christopher Gregor hated Corey and his mother. Evil demons
Mom didn’t see her daughter for almost 2 years. Mom and dad are a pOS..
and still hoping to win the Mother of the Year award with all her interviews and the impact statement.
The only real parents Harmony had were her foster parents.
Excuse me but didn't the court award custody to Adam? Not unusual. Look at the treadmill murder...
When the previous criminal actions were announced, how on earth was Harmony ever put in his care?!
Kaylas love letter was shocking. I cant believe she is still professing her undying love for this heinous monster. All it proves to me is she didnt care one bit for Harmony because she wasnt her bio child, instead its all about her. She may well know where Harmony is but would never tell because of her love for the killer. She will probably visit him in jail when the heat dies down on this case.
Whoever gave him custody of his daughter, should be thrown in jail as well
Poor little Harmony. Every picture I see, she was just such an innocent looking child
These victim impact statements are ridiculous
I have never shed tears over a case like this one. My heart breaks for harmony
56 - Life, and all his convictions are to be served consecutive. So this will mean that Montgomery is spending the rest of his natural life in custody.
He didn't break when he discovered her dead, HE BROKE HARMONY AND SHE DIED.
AM lawyer is ridiculous!!
I'm in recovery. I can't believe Sorey, 2 kids she lost? Can't she see she doled out misery too? She didn't protect her kid's? Girl, turn your will over to God and stop making statements! Have some humility!
Well said!
Crystal failed harmony too!
... The adoptive parents are literally the only people who are actually thinking about the children.
Mom, dad and stepmom are all so self-consumed. Kayla's love letter, Adam's silence, and Crystal wrote almost as much about their ended relationship as Kayla did... Only little bits about Harmony. That poor child...
I’m so glad they allowed the adoptive parents speak. They were saying they might not. Theirs was one of the most impactful statements in my opinion.
I wonder if the workers at the CPS office and the family court judge who gave him custody in the first place are going to be held legally responsible for not doing their jobs as well?
I cried when people were talking about Harmony. Adam showed no emotion at all. He is evil.
Damn right him and his POS Attorney Pissed Me Off.
How anyone can stand up for this loser, makes me sick
8:30 it looks like one of his attorneys tried to get him to speak up but it looked like he had an outburst under his breath.
they just doing their job
@beausmith08 I thought the same thing too. Know he wasn't happy about having to be there either. Judge said use force if need be.
adoptive parents brought tears to my eyes.
Montgomery's attorney really made me mad because she basically spat in the eye of the jury saying that he didn't kill her!
The jurors said that he did!
The victim impact statement from the dads who adopted Harmony’s brother completely broke me.
Lock up the mother too 😤
I see im not the only one appalled at kaylas love letter! That shouldn't have been allowed in court! No respect for this child from anybody!
Thank you for the coverage and highlighting the impact statements. How revealing and all so sad. 😞
Lets hope the monster never gets out with the years he got,He is the worst of the worst,lets hope the other prisioners give him some prison justice,That letter from kayla disgusted me,I wish they didnt need her to lock up adam
With all the sentences running consecutively, he'll be out when he's around 118 year old.
This prosecutor did the damn thing💯
Can't the court do anything to get the whereabouts of Harmony out of this pig?
She will see her ex in hell.
I dont think he will ever disclose the location of Harmony and that he'll later try through appeals to say "no body no crime". Although...obviously..we know better.
Dont need one for 2nd deg. He can appeal uselessly until the day he leaves prison in a ⚰️
Who thought giving this violent jailbird custody of a child was a good idea??
That prosecutor in the Montgomery case did it right! Very impressed.
Kayla got away with it bleme him from everything and now sending this sick letter all about her and him hope she will go back to jail and pay for what she did
I don’t get it. He admits he moved her body. He says he didn’t kill her, but admits moving her body. So why not say where she is? Why not show the slightest bit of humanity and let her be laid to rest in peace? This is unforgivable and unbelievable that he would still refuse to say where.
it's all me me me
I wish the 2 dad's of Jamison had adopted Harmony also. So sad
Everyone failed that poor child INCLUDING her mother. No way in hell my daughter would ever be missing for more than a few hours without every media outlet and police station knowing
Justice for Harmony 💜
Pure evil! HOW DID HE EVER GET AWAY WITH SO MUCH EVIL?
This is the most heartbreaking case I have ever heard of. I've cried so much for this little girl. So many people failed Harmony.😢
I’m sorry but mom’s statement is just as bad as the girlfriends 😡
She's a coward for not reporting the murder.
Why isn’t the mother being held accountable at all? This is gross 🤮
Adam was probably too high to remember where he put her! Kayla barely spoke of Harmony in her victim statement letter, disgusting! I hope they both rot in hell! RIP Harmony 🙏🏽❤️
When are all these abuses against defenseless children going to stop?
Harmony’s mom said something
Adoptive parents statement hit hard. Im in tears
What was that B allowed to have her love letter read! How dare you B! Rote in hell! This is no longer about you and your devil husband.
Rest in peace 🙏🏽 my baby Harmony❤ . Your mama is going to find you, she has the strength with you in her heart.
My question is her mom didn't look into her missing for 2 years?? 🤔
