Speaker 1: been missing for two years, since she was five years old.

4
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: They're just announcing it isn't that a day late and

5
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: a dollar short. They're just finding out Harmony is gone.

6
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Is she even alive? I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.

7
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us here at Fox Nation

8
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: and series M one eleven. Take a listen to our

9
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: friends at NBC ten. Police say seven year old Harmony

10
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Montgomery was last seen at a home in Manchester in

11
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: October of twenty nineteen, but authorities day they weren't notified

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: until just this week. We have spoken with family members

13
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: of Harmony and despite doing so, our concerns for the

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: whereabouts of her remain. The same. Police now working around

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: the claw trying to find the blonde haired, blue eyed

16
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: little girl. People are going to say that and they're

17
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: going to ask, well, again why two years we cannot

18
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: investigate things if they're not brought to our attention. And

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: when this was brought Lauranic authorities say they don't have

20
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: enough information to issue an amber alert at this point

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: because they don't know who she could be with, or

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: the car she might be seen, in the circumstances surrounding

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: this prolonged absence of very concerning, and I'll thoroughly be

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: investigated as we speak. You know, maybe he should just

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: stop talking because he just said, and this is the

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: police chaf he says, I can't investigate things if they're

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: not brought to our attention on time. Well, as a

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: matter of fact, it wasn't brought to their attention on

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: multiple occasions, all the way back in twenty nineteen, specifically

30
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen. The last time Harmony was seen alive,

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: police were there and they did nothing. Now she's gone.

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: We don't know if this child is dead or alive.

33
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: me go to special guest joining us. It is reporter

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: or anchor joining us from CMG Washington. Blair is also

42
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Washington News Bureau Blair Miller. Blair is also the adoptive

43
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: father of Harmony's little brother, Jamis and Blair. When did

44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: you first realize Harmony's missing? You know, that's something we've

45
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: been trying to trace back ourselves. Um. You know, we've

46
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: we've had a very open relationship with Jamison's mom, who's

47
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: also the mom for Harmony, and she has you know,

48
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: told us, you know, we adopted Jamison, um three years

49
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: ago and um nearly three years ago in and and

50
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: so that's something you know, she's been trying to get

51
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: in touch with Harmony. She's been trying to get in

52
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: touch with the dad because there are some custody issues

53
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: there and she wanted to try to whatever way to

54
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: try to get touch with Harmony. And you know, that's

55
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: at least what we were being told. And as far

56
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: as being officially missing, you know, we didn't know till

57
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: last week. How did you find out? Um, the mom

58
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: caught us and she called us frantically almost in the

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: sense of see, I told you something was wrong, and

60
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: and we had a feeling something was wrong too. We

61
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: kept encouraging her to if you feel like something's wrong,

62
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: you need to get in touch with the police, with

63
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: social services, whatever you need to do. She says she

64
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: couldn't get in touch with the father too, that he

65
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: had blocked her all this stuff, and she just felt

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: like something wasn't right, and she'd been saying that for

67
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: a long time, and it's hard to know what was

68
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: right and what wasn't. Well, Blair, let me point out

69
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: the obvious. It's been two years and the mom has

70
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: no idea where her daughter is. It's my understanding now,

71
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: you adopted Harmony's brother, little brother, Jamieson. It's my understanding

72
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: that much of Harmony's younger life. Of course, if this

73
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: child is alife, she's only seven years old now, but

74
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: her very young life, she was in and out of

75
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: foster care, trying to take care of Jamieson, her little brother,

76
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: also Crystal's child. Right, correct, they were, they were both

77
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: in foster homes, and you adopt Jamieson. Correct. And as

78
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: far as Jamison's standpoint, he was in and out about

79
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: nine different foster homes, and we know Harmony was there

80
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: for you know many of those situations and the stories

81
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: we've been told by other foster parents is that Harmony

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: looked after Jamieson and the two had this bond, and

83
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Jamison is aware of that bond. In fact, you actually

84
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: have Christmas gifts for her, but you haven't been able

85
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: to see her. Isn't it true you try to adopt

86
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: her too, But we're told she had been reunited with

87
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: her bio dad. When we went through the process with Jamieson,

88
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: we said what we instantly heard about harmony. When we

89
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: first heard about Jamieson's situation, one of our first questions was,

90
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: what's harmony situation? And is this a situation where we

91
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: need to consider adopting both of them? Because if that's

92
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: the case, we would do it. But we were quickly

93
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: told this is harmony. Situation has already been closed and

94
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: she's been night with their father And they can't ask

95
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: you who told you that? Well, when we work through

96
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: social Services in Massachusetts, when we used to live in Boston,

97
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: you mean like Defacts Department, Family Children's Services. Yeah, okay,

98
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: they're awful. They're the devil because Blair, I can't tell

99
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: you how many cases I worked as a prosecutor a

100
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: felony prosecutor investigating and trying cases where defects would go

101
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: into a horrible situation and leave the child there and

102
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: then the child would end up dead, over and over

103
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: and over again. And in this particular case, Blair defacts

104
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: was called over and over and over. And this says,

105
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: after they tell you would be loving parent for harmony, No,

106
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: you can't have her. She's back with her bio dad

107
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: that we took her away from to start with. I

108
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: don't understand that, Blair. Well, I think we're trying to

109
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: understand that too right now, and we're retracing everything, every

110
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: bit of paperwork we were ever given to try to

111
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: understand what was the situation in and why was that happening,

112
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of serious questions, and you know,

113
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Blair Miller guys joining me with you're with Cox correct, correct,

114
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm based in DC and reported an anchor for stations

115
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: cross Country. Blair. I mean, it just pains me to

116
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: know that this little girl who was called police were

117
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: called on her when she had a black eye in

118
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: a home about July August twenty nineteen. Then neighbors called

119
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: about a month later about the horrible living conditions this

120
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: little girl was surviving in nothing was done again. October.

121
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Relative calls again because there's a huge fight in the house.

122
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: They see harmony there, they know it's a bad situation.

123
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: They do nothing, and now she's gone. Guys, take a

124
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: listen to our friend Diane Show NBC ten. Police would

125
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: not disclose the address of the home she was last seen,

126
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: but when asked about the circumstances involved, the police chief

127
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: says it was the result of a call to service

128
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: that involved the police department that called. The service was

129
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: handled and that is the last time she has been

130
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: seen here in the city of Manchester. I'm not saying

131
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: that she has not been seen somewhere else. With so

132
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: many unanswered questions, authorities are now pleading for the public's

133
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: help finding this little girl. I'm asking even I'll go

134
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: as far as I'm begging the community. I don't care

135
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: if you saw this young girl a year ago and

136
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: you think it's irrelevant, call us. If you have any

137
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,120

143
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to make sense of what we're hearing. Straight out to

144
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Crime online dot Com investigative reporter Nicole Parton. Thank you

145
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Nicole for being with us. It's very rare that you

146
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: hear this child is missing. Last time she was seen

147
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: was two years ago. It's reminiscent of when Top Mom

148
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Gacy Anthony's child Kelly was reported and she had been

149
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: missing thirty days. But this is even worse. So let's

150
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: just start at the beginning, Nicole, what happened and who

151
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: is she with? The last time she was saying the

152
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: mom or the dad. So, Nancy, you're right. You and

153
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I have covered a lot of missing persons, probably over

154
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: the twenty years of service together, hundreds of them. Never

155
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: have we seen where the person is missing for two

156
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: years before reported missing. So the last known whereabouts Little

157
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: Harmony is with her father and it's the police who

158
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: see her last. Because the police are called out to

159
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: the home because of a family feud and argument. The

160
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: neighbors call nine to one they hear this rupt us.

161
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: We also have reports from an uncle who says he's

162
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: trying to push his way through the front door he

163
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: can see Harmony in the house. We have these reports

164
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: of her last siding. That's October twenty nineteen, and this

165
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: is what I understand. Back out to Blair Miller Blair,

166
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: who is an anchor and reporter for Cox in Washington.

167
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: Blair adopted Harmony's little brother, and so that's how he's

168
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: in the mix. So Blair, this is what I understand.

169
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: The home where she was last seen. I believe it

170
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: was at seventy seven Crawford Street something like that. They're

171
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: in Manchester, New Hampshire. The cops go out there October

172
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: one because of a family fracas and the uncle, Kevin

173
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: Montgomery's trying to get back in. Was the dispute over Harmony,

174
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: because I've researched that it was, but I'm not sure

175
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: about that. We're not sure about that either. I mean,

176
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: we've spoken a little bit with Kevin Montgomery as well,

177
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: and we spoke on the number of family members trying

178
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: to understand who last saw her, what did they see.

179
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: We've been talking with police asking the same thing and

180
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: sharing what we know, but that that really is a

181
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: mystery of her. You know, what was that about? How

182
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: far did it go? And what happened after that? Okay,

183
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: so it's seventy seven Guilford Street. Now here's an odd part.

184
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: There were Montgomeries living there, relatives of little harmony. But

185
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: then right after that the home is foreclosed. They all

186
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: move away and new people move in. Now, in the

187
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: last hours, there has been a massive search at that

188
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: home where she was last seen, the seventy seven Guildford Street.

189
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: The people that live there now are not connected to

190
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: this case. They have been very helpful and cooperative. In fact,

191
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: we were told that dogs were brought out and the

192
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: dogs went through the house, found nothing. Dogs went in

193
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: the backyard and dug up a corner of the backyard.

194
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: Robert Crispin, private investigator, former cop now at Crispin Special

195
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Investigations dot Com. I've got a really bad attitude, all right, Robert,

196
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: I've got a bad attitude because right now I hate everybody.

197
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm usually on the cop side, but come on. The

198
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: cops were called out there in July, in August, in October.

199
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: They are called when this little child has a black eye,

200
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: defaxes in on it. They screw it up, say mate

201
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: dropped the ball, really doesn't do it justice, the cops

202
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: don't do anything, saying relatives don't do anything. The only

203
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: person that really did anything was Blair Miller because he

204
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: saved the little brother Jamison from this cesspool that Harmony's

205
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: living in. So right now, I ain't everybody you don't answer,

206
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: I gotta say it's an epic failure on every level

207
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: in this case, starting with law enforcement that went to

208
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: the house. You know, I've been there twice. I've seen

209
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: these guys respond to these houses. I've seen people not

210
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: do their job. I can't tell you of countless cases

211
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: I've dealt with DFF even in the private sector. Could

212
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: you leave a little child in that mess? And on

213
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: the first occasion when Kevin Montgomery called the cops, according

214
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: to him, the child, the little girl had a black eye.

215
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: Now this little girl, to make it even more upsetting,

216
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: so beautiful, is actually blind in her right eye. So

217
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: when you see the pictures of her, all the photos

218
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: we can show you are two years old. So has

219
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: she cut her hair, we don't know. Does she look

220
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: the same, we don't know, Because the last photo of

221
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: this child is two years old. You know, how many

222
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: pictures I've got on this thing right here? Maybe forty thousand,

223
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: not kidding pictures. And they're all of the twins. They're

224
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: so tired of me taking their picture. But to think

225
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: nobody's taking a picture of this child for two years.

226
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: The only person that did anything remotely helpful was Blair Miller,

227
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: the reporter for Cox, because he adopted the little brother.

228
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: So we also have Robert Crispin. Let me let you

229
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: percolate with this. She was last in school in Massachusetts.

230
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: So when she doesn't come back, they're having back in school.

231
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: They're not remote, so she doesn't show up. Did anybody go, hey,

232
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: where's harmony? Oh? Hell no, they did nothing. Robert epics

233
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: failure on the school system. Where is this kid? How

234
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: come this kids dropped out of zoom? How come this

235
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: kids dropped out of in person learning? What's going on?

236
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: It's going to all start to come together. I'm gonna

237
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: tell you, Nancy, these these guys who responded to that

238
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: callback in October of nineteen, they have some serious explaining

239
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: to do. And that's where this entire case is going

240
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: to start from. It's going to start from that day.

241
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Moving forward, time stories with Nancy grace. Doctor Jerry crossing

242
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: with me psychologist, faculty Saint Leo University, author of Operations,

243
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Doctor Jerry, thanks for being with us. My I hate

244
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: everybody moment. It is really not helping this at all.

245
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: There were times that would be so frustrated and angry

246
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: when I would be investigating or prosecuting a case. I'd

247
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: have to pull off the road and just sit there

248
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: and pull it back together and get back on the

249
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: road and continue investigating the case. The anger really doesn't

250
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: help anything. But I can tell you right now, I

251
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: want to chew a nail in half, and I think

252
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: I could do it, Doctor Jordy. There's so many fingers

253
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: to point, but I just find it interesting what Blair

254
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: and Miller is telling us. And let me tell you something.

255
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: He is air brushing it. He's being super nice because

256
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: his son, his adopted son. It's Jamison, isn't that his name? Blair? Yeah,

257
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: has the same mother as Harmony, different dads, same mom,

258
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: and he's being super sweet about her. But it will

259
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: be a cold day in hell that I go two

260
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: years and I don't know where my child is. I

261
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: don't care if she has visitation acrossody or what you

262
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: know where your child is, doctor Jory. I mean this

263
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: is crazy talk. You know, Statistically, in these cases, drugs

264
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: are going to be adding her to my hate list. Yes, okay,

265
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm backing you up on this one. You know, drugs

266
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: have to be involved somewhere, especially with as young as

267
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: the children are in the involvement of dcf uh. You know,

268
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm looking at causation and not giving excuses.

269
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: You're not really helping me, Jory. How to give you

270
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: some therapy here? Okay? Yeah, your your righteous anger is correct.

271
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: And a parent, especially somebody in that family that has

272
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: not seen her uh and waste two years, you know.

273
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean I would still be beating on doors to

274
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: get somebody involved, even d y after. If you're not

275
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: getting responses, there's other avenues to take. I mean, go

276
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: to the media, you get to the state police. I've

277
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: always said that defects needs to go right into the

278
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: deep fry down in hell because I've seen too many

279
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: body bags of children they left behind. Because I've seen

280
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: too many body bags a little children they left in

281
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: the home. Guys, take a listen to this. We have

282
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: spoken with as many family members as we can at

283
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: this point, and we'll continue to do so. But I

284
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: will go back to the point that she was last

285
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: seen Addie Residence in Manchester in the October time frame

286
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: with two thou nineteen. We Manchester Police became aware of

287
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: this this week. And I know people are going to say, well,

288
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: here it is two twenty one, almost two twenty two,

289
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: and nobody's seen this young girl since late of October

290
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, So what's happened in the last two years?

291
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: Fair question? All right, that's why I'm here today. We

292
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: need assistance, we need help, and we don't have many

293
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: answers to many questions that we have, and we'll continue

294
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: to work and speak with the family ongoing as we speak. Okay,

295
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: he didn't really give me any answers right there as

296
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: to why they've done nothing since they last saw the

297
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: little girl, as since they saw her with a black

298
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: eye and d facts hasn't even shown their face at all.

299
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: Do you blame them? Also, take a listen now, as

300
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: a man Chester in Hampshire Police Chief Alan Aldenberg address

301
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: says the school issue, take a listen. Last time she

302
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: was enrolled in any type of school. From my understanding,

303
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: you have to be confirmed as down in Massachusetts. But

304
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: again she's seven right now, so twenty nineteen five years old,

305
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: probably right around that kindergarten timeframe. Again, we've spoken with

306
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: family members and we'll continue to do so. I know,

307
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to that, and that's a fair question, right,

308
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: did we speak to mom? Did we speak to dad?

309
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: Did we speak to this belt? Were speaking to any

310
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: and all family members that come to our attention and

311
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: ones that we are seeking out as well. He just

312
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: keeps saying over and never speaking to the family. I

313
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: guess that's the same family that gave her a black eye.

314
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: I doubt there's going to be a whole lot of

315
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: help to you. Nicole. Deboord houts Club joining us out

316
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: of Houston. Former prosecutor now defense attorney at Houston Criminal

317
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: Defense dot com. Way in Nicole, he had sounds like

318
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: a terrible math. I mean, when you started an investigation

319
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: two years after an incident, you are going to be

320
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: missing critical information. I think this is going to be very,

321
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: very difficult for law enforcement to put together at this point. Unfortunately. Yeah,

322
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: but I can tell you when people say it's like

323
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: a needle in a haystack, the needle, in my opinion

324
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: is the father, because we are hearing from Blair Miller

325
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: that the mom hasn't had custody or visitation with this

326
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: little girl in about two years. So however we may

327
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: or may not want to judge her. I don't have

328
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: time to judge her character. But she doesn't have the

329
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: little girl. That's really all I care about right now. Now,

330
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to our cut nineteen nineteen.

331
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Listen to what the chief of police says. Well, we

332
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: ask people, don't play detective. Okay, don't play police officer.

333
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: That is our job. That's the men and women's job

334
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: that work under Captain Leaden. People going on social media

335
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: and circulating their opinions of their theories to do nothing,

336
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: nothing for this investigation and are no good and are

337
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: no helpful in trying to locate harmony. I asked, if

338
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: you leave that work to where it belongs to. It

339
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: belongs to the Manchester Police Department. We're two years behind

340
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: the power curve. Leave it to the Manchester Police Department

341
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: because they've done such a great job so far. Really,

342
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: does anybody remember on this panel, Let's go to you

343
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: Nicole parton Crime online dot Com. The whole reason that

344
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: Gabby Potito's body was found was because of social media

345
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: and people, as he says, playing detective, they happened to

346
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: see Gabby's van and they had a picture of it,

347
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: and that's how Gabby was found. And those cops, the FBI,

348
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: all the local cops in Florida, Adam, Wyoming, all across

349
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: in Yellowstone, they didn't turn down the help. They used

350
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: it and they found Gabby's body. So what is this cop,

351
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: uh Alan Aldenberg telling people? Don't play detective, don't play

352
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: police officer, really, because if we don't microphone, who's that

353
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: jumping Crispin? Listen, he shouldn't be the one front of

354
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: the microphone right now. And I'm not really liking what

355
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: he's saying because I will tell you, from twenty five

356
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: years in law enforcement, the public helped me solve so

357
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: many crime. Social media today, social media, it's incredible. Law

358
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: enforcement gives you the leads that you need. People come

359
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: forward in social media, people make comments. Those comments turns

360
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: into leads, Those leads turn into arrest, those arrestaurants, conviction.

361
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Even a prosecutor, you know that,

362
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: you darn right, Crispin. I mean, I'm just getting chills

363
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: on my right arm right now. I'm so angry with

364
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: this officer, this police chief Aldenburgh. No, he didn't take

365
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: the child, but he's not helping right now. Another thing,

366
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: don't get involved. Wasn't it an email to you, Blair Miller?

367
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: This is the adoptive dad of Jamison. This is Harmony's

368
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: little brother. That this little girl tried to take care

369
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: of her little brother and foster care. Can you imagine

370
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: that she's seven now, if she's still alive, and while

371
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: Jamison and she were in foster care, she's trying to

372
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: take care of a little brother. Blair Miller, a reporter

373
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: and anchor with Cox News who has adopted Jamison. Isn't

374
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: it true that the whole reason somebody put a fire

375
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: under the cops rear in is because there was an

376
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: email sent to the mayor's office about defects not following

377
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: through on Harmony's case. Now the mom is now taking

378
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: credit for that. I know I've heard Elsa it was anonymous.

379
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I don't know who's sent it, but that's how the

380
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: whole thing correct whine open. And that's what we've been told.

381
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: And like I said earlier, we've always had a very

382
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: open relationship with the mom and we've encouraged her countless

383
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: times to go to police, go to anyone who will listen,

384
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: go to DCF, and we even said can we do

385
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: that for you? Can we can we help with that?

386
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: And do we need to get police involved? What do

387
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: we need to do? And we try to reach out

388
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: to the father on social media to see if we

389
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: could connect with him to see Nicole. What's the dad's name, yes,

390
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: Adam Montgomery, Yeah, okay. And the uncle who is Harmony's

391
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: great uncle, it's Adam Montgomery's uncle is Kevin Montgomery. The

392
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: one missing that we seem to think Harmony was last

393
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: with is Adam Montgomery Blair. Was Adam Montgomery living in

394
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: New Hampshire or had he moved? We were when we

395
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: adopted Jamison. We were told that Harmony was reunited with

396
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: her father back in February of twenty nineteen, and that

397
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: was in New Hampshire. And that's about the level of

398
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: detail that we were given in the moments that we

399
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: were adopting Jamison and trying to sort out his situation

400
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: in his family situation. Okay, that is helpful, That's very

401
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: helpful because Robert Crispin's If he's in another state, that's

402
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: going to lead to all kind of jurisdictional problems. But

403
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: if he's in Hampshire, we know he's got a social

404
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: Security number. He's either working or he's collecting a check.

405
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Either way, you can find him through a social I mean,

406
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: do I need to call the police chief and tail

407
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: him that or we're going to find him on a

408
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: license plate reader. If he's got a card, he's out

409
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: run around. Those license plate readers are going to track

410
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: you all over the country and that's why I'm going

411
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: to find you. And there is the possibility, Crispin, that

412
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: they have already found him and the girl's not with him.

413
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: This is very true, and what would leave me to

414
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: believe that is the emotional original public release by the

415
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: chief when he became all choked up. It led me

416
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: to believe that he knew a lot more than what

417
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: he could tell the public at this point, because they

418
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: were trying to gather enough evidence for an indictment for somebody,

419
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: and he already knew the facts, and this really hit

420
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: him hard, and it was tough for him to actually

421
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: give that first one because of what he may already

422
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: know you'd be surprised, Nancy, And you know this as

423
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: a prosecutor. The public only gets a tidbit of information

424
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: because law enforcement has to keep what they know close

425
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: to the best so the freaks don't come out of

426
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: the woodwork and the psychos come out of the woodwork

427
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: to try to take credit for things and just muddy

428
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: up the water, or to preserve evidence, or to make

429
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: sure certain evidence doesn't get tampered with or destroyed because

430
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody knows ah while they already know about that piece

431
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: of evidence, I have to go get rid of that

432
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: right now. That's why these press conferences are a tough

433
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: position for certain people. And believe me, I do not

434
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: think this Chief Aldeburgh was the one that answered that

435
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: call that saw Harmony with a black eye, that left

436
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: her when there was a huge fight going on, possibly

437
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: about her, and the uncle is calling, calling, calling the

438
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: neighbors or calling trying to get help for Harmony. I

439
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: don't think he's the one in that patrol car. They

440
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: have a completely additional situation they need to deal with.

441
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: What's their policy about reporting this to DCF as soon

442
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: as they walk out of that house. If they think

443
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: that that child is in in danger. Obviously they have

444
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: to take the kid. If they think it's you know,

445
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: not a danger imminent to the child, it still needs

446
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: to be reported to DCF. Some agencies have a mandatory

447
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: reporting requirement. Well, it's my understanding they had been under

448
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: DCF care because they've been placed in foster homes, so

449
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: they call it their DCYF Department Children Youth. That's where

450
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: the why comes in. But DCF defacts had to be

451
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: part of it if they had been in foster care.

452
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: Time stories with Nancy Grace Blair Miller back to you,

453
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: and again, I already know you're not going to say

454
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: a bad word about the bio mom. Can you tell

455
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: me was it your understanding, not that you knew or

456
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: saw her, but was it your understanding she was with

457
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: the bio dad and that bio mom had been trying

458
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: to reach them online. That's very much our understanding, and

459
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: our understanding was the mom was trying it sounded like

460
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: very hard to get in touch with her, getting in

461
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: touch with the daughter I telephone. Keep in mind us

462
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts to New Hampshire, and so I think she

463
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: was trying to locate all that and figure that out. Okay, now,

464
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: we're hearing that he was still in New Hampshire. Do

465
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: you have reason to believe he moved to Massachusetts. I

466
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: don't have any reason to believe her is the mom

467
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts New Hampshire. We've always known her to be

468
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. Okay, now I understand what you're saying. Isn't

469
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: there another little brother? Didn't Harmony have two brothers? Yes,

470
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: there's a mom has had a child here in the

471
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: last I think maybe two years. Where is that baby?

472
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: And baby's with her and so she has that baby. Okay, guys,

473
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut eleven. This is Scott

474
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: Cook wmu R News nine. When last scene, Harmony was

475
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: about four feet tall. She has blonde hair, blue eyes,

476
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: and is blind in her right eye, so she may

477
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: be wearing glasses. Police say she may have been going

478
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: to school in Massachusetts when last se Who care if

479
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: you saw this young girl a year ago and you

480
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: think it's irrelevant, call us and say I saw her

481
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: a year ago, I saw her eighteen months ago, I

482
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: saw her a week ago. Let's lessen that two year

483
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: window and keep bringing it, keep shrinking that two year

484
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: window to the present day to day, and let's chase

485
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: down every possible avenue with the hopes of finding Harmony,

486
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: and Manchester Police tell us they just found out earlier

487
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: this week that Harmony was missing again. They're asking anyone

488
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: who may have seen her in the last two years

489
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: to give them a call. This whole thing is sideways,

490
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: doctor Jerry Crossen. She should be in school somewhere. She

491
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: had been in school in Massachusetts, then they moved to

492
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Never bothered to notice that Harmony was

493
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: missing or raise an alarm about it. But she should

494
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: be in school somewhere, right, Yeah, And you know that's

495
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of an easy thing to check. I mean the

496
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: school system here. We got thirty three thousand students in

497
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: my county. But you know, we know what students we

498
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: can check that and that's for the police. That's a

499
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: step one. It should be in you know, at least

500
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: eliminating that she's not in school any or she's not

501
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 1: registered on a zoo line or in homeschooling. You know,

502
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm not ruling out this child is alive somewhere, but

503
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: the fact that she's not in school and nobody can

504
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: find her, and I believe it would be as Crispin

505
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: says pretty easy to track the dad and find him

506
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: and she's not there. Although I don't take any hope

507
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Nicole Hotch Globe joining us out of Houston, with the

508
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: fact that they showed up a residence with dogs that

509
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: dug up and then dug up part of the backyard,

510
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: that's definitely not encouraging. And the reality is that two

511
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: years later, a lot of biological evidence that we would

512
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: have ordinarily been able to track down maybe in that

513
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: house is just not going to be available. There's a

514
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: new family living in the house, and there are going

515
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 1: to be you know, there's a cleaning that's gone on,

516
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: there's living that's gone on, and it's going to be

517
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: very difficult for a forensic team to collect necessary evidence

518
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: to make an assessment about what could have happened. Now

519
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: listen to Amy Casino wmure our cut fourteen investigators say

520
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: they have talked with many many family members of seven

521
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: year old Harmony Montgomery, but declined to elaborate on which ones.

522
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: The chief confirms that she was in the child welfare

523
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: system in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and that it

524
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: was DCYF here in New Hampshire that notified them last week.

525
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: That Harmony was missing last scene two years ago. How

526
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: does two years ago while before that agency flags at

527
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: the lawn horse? Sure, question, that's the question I've asked.

528
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: All right, Hopefully at some point along this I get

529
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: an answer to you know, according to our sources, the

530
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: mother and the bio Crystal Sorry is saying she's the

531
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: one that sent the email to the Mayor's office learning

532
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: them that there have been no defects Department Family Children's

533
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: Services follow through on her daughter Harmony. Isn't that right, Jackie? Okay,

534
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: so take a listen. However, to our cut seventeen Mike

535
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: cronin News nine, Manchester Police confirmed to News nine that

536
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: investigators were searching a property on Guilford Street in Manchester

537
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: Sunday in connection to the search for missing seven year

538
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: old Harmony Montgomery. Also new Sunday. Mayor Joyce Craig's office

539
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: says it received an email last week with a concern

540
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: about Harmony that was primarily about issues with a follow

541
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: up from DCYF. According to the Mayor's office, they told

542
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: that person if they felt the child was in danger,

543
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: to immediately call nine one one or give them further

544
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: information so they could let police know, the mayor's office

545
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: says that person never responded back. So I guess, mommy,

546
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: if she did make the first emails in the first email,

547
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: that she just got busy and didn't respond to the

548
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: mayor's office when they asked her to respond back. Okay,

549
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Straight back out to Blair Miller, the adoptive dad of Jamison,

550
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Harmony's little brother. He is an anchor and reporter with

551
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: Cox News. Blair, I've got a feeling that they have

552
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: located the bio dad and they still can't find Harmony.

553
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Do you have any indication that is or is not true.

554
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, we've been told a lot of things Mance

555
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: in and so you know, as far as anything official,

556
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: we don't know, but we've certainly been told that's possible,

557
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: and so we're trying to be respectful that. At the

558
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: same time, you know, the only thing we're focused on

559
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: right now, which is why I'm here today, is you know,

560
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: finding Harmony and getting her back and so I can

561
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: figure out what we tell our son. You're right, You're right, Blair.

562
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: So to you. Robert Crispin, former law enforcement now private

563
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: investigator with Crispin's Special investig dot Com. What should we

564
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: the public be doing now to help find Harmony. Thinking

565
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: back the last two years, what you know, what you remember,

566
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: and report it, put it out there, get it to

567
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Take a look at this little girl, Harmony Montgomery.

568
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: The photos you're seeing are of her at age five.

569
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: She is now seven, about four feet tall. She's legally

570
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: blind in her right eye, she's wearing glasses. She's about

571
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, and she's got a beautiful, beautiful smile. And

572
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: when you look at that smile, you'd never know she's

573
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: been bouncing from one foster home to the next. Where

574
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: is this girl? Help us? Nancy Grace Crumbs story signing off,

575
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: goodbye friend,
