The New Hampshire tenant living in an apartment that once belonged to the dad and stepmom of missing Harmony Montgomery has revealed some of the items searched earlier this week by an FBI-led search team.
Investigators visited the 644 Union Street apartment in Manchester on Tuesday as part of the ongoing search for Harmony.
A spokesperson for the Hillsborough County District Attorney’s Office warned against speculating about the significance of the evidence authorities were seen carrying out of the home. After investigators left the scene Wednesday, he said they would not be releasing any additional information, citing the ongoing probe.

Harmony, now 8, went missing from her father’s custody in 2019, according to authorities, but a missing person report wasn’t filed until late last year when her noncustodial mother learned she had never been registered to attend school in her father’s hometown.

Adam Montgomery, a violent ex-con and drug addict, had claimed he last saw Harmony after giving her over to her biological mother, Crystal Sorey, around Thanksgiving 2019 – a story police say is a lie. He is facing child abuse charges for allegedly giving the girl a black eye before she went missing and is accused of stonewalling investigators as they continue to search for the missing child.
Adam Montgomery has been held without bail since January but has not been charged in direct connection with Harmony’s disappearance.
