Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. New Hampshire Police are just
Speaker 1: announcing a seven year old little girl, Harmony Montgomery, has
Speaker 1: been missing for two years, since she was five years old.
Speaker 1: They're just announcing it isn't that a day late and
Speaker 1: a dollar short. They're just finding out Harmony is gone.
Speaker 1: Is she even alive? I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us here at Fox Nation
Speaker 1: and series M one eleven. Take a listen to our
Speaker 1: friends at NBC ten. Police say seven year old Harmony
Speaker 1: Montgomery was last seen at a home in Manchester in
Speaker 1: October of twenty nineteen, but authorities day they weren't notified
Speaker 1: until just this week. We have spoken with family members
Speaker 1: of Harmony and despite doing so, our concerns for the
Speaker 1: whereabouts of her remain. The same. Police now working around
Speaker 1: the claw trying to find the blonde haired, blue eyed
Speaker 1: little girl. People are going to say that and they're
Speaker 1: going to ask, well, again why two years we cannot
Speaker 1: investigate things if they're not brought to our attention. And
Speaker 1: when this was brought Lauranic authorities say they don't have
Speaker 1: enough information to issue an amber alert at this point
Speaker 1: because they don't know who she could be with, or
Speaker 1: the car she might be seen, in the circumstances surrounding
Speaker 1: this prolonged absence of very concerning, and I'll thoroughly be
Speaker 1: investigated as we speak. You know, maybe he should just
Speaker 1: stop talking because he just said, and this is the
Speaker 1: police chaf he says, I can't investigate things if they're
Speaker 1: not brought to our attention on time. Well, as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, it wasn't brought to their attention on
Speaker 1: multiple occasions, all the way back in twenty nineteen, specifically
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen. The last time Harmony was seen alive,
Speaker 1: police were there and they did nothing. Now she's gone.
Speaker 1: We don't know if this child is dead or alive.
Speaker 1: With me an all star panel to make sense of
Speaker 1: what we know right now. Crime Online dot Com investigative
Speaker 1: reporter Nicole Parton, Robert Crispin, private investigator, former police officer
Speaker 1: at Crispin Special Investigations dot Com doctor Jory Cross and
Speaker 1: police psychologist faculty Saint Leo University and author of Operation SOS.
Speaker 1: Nicole deboord Hodge Globe with US criminal defense attorney joining
Speaker 1: us out of Houston, also former prosecutor. But first, let
Speaker 1: me go to special guest joining us. It is reporter
Speaker 1: or anchor joining us from CMG Washington. Blair is also
Speaker 1: Washington News Bureau Blair Miller. Blair is also the adoptive
Speaker 1: father of Harmony's little brother, Jamis and Blair. When did
Speaker 1: you first realize Harmony's missing? You know, that's something we've
Speaker 1: been trying to trace back ourselves. Um. You know, we've
Speaker 1: we've had a very open relationship with Jamison's mom, who's
Speaker 1: also the mom for Harmony, and she has you know,
Speaker 1: told us, you know, we adopted Jamison, um three years
Speaker 1: ago and um nearly three years ago in and and
Speaker 1: so that's something you know, she's been trying to get
Speaker 1: in touch with Harmony. She's been trying to get in
Speaker 1: touch with the dad because there are some custody issues
Speaker 1: there and she wanted to try to whatever way to
Speaker 1: try to get touch with Harmony. And you know, that's
Speaker 1: at least what we were being told. And as far
Speaker 1: as being officially missing, you know, we didn't know till
Speaker 1: last week. How did you find out? Um, the mom
Speaker 1: caught us and she called us frantically almost in the
Speaker 1: sense of see, I told you something was wrong, and
Speaker 1: and we had a feeling something was wrong too. We
Speaker 1: kept encouraging her to if you feel like something's wrong,
Speaker 1: you need to get in touch with the police, with
Speaker 1: social services, whatever you need to do. She says she
Speaker 1: couldn't get in touch with the father too, that he
Speaker 1: had blocked her all this stuff, and she just felt
Speaker 1: like something wasn't right, and she'd been saying that for
Speaker 1: a long time, and it's hard to know what was
Speaker 1: right and what wasn't. Well, Blair, let me point out
Speaker 1: the obvious. It's been two years and the mom has
Speaker 1: no idea where her daughter is. It's my understanding now,
Speaker 1: you adopted Harmony's brother, little brother, Jamieson. It's my understanding
Speaker 1: that much of Harmony's younger life. Of course, if this
Speaker 1: child is alife, she's only seven years old now, but
Speaker 1: her very young life, she was in and out of
Speaker 1: foster care, trying to take care of Jamieson, her little brother,
Speaker 1: also Crystal's child. Right, correct, they were, they were both
Speaker 1: in foster homes, and you adopt Jamieson. Correct. And as
Speaker 1: far as Jamison's standpoint, he was in and out about
Speaker 1: nine different foster homes, and we know Harmony was there
Speaker 1: for you know many of those situations and the stories
Speaker 1: we've been told by other foster parents is that Harmony
Speaker 1: looked after Jamieson and the two had this bond, and
Speaker 1: Jamison is aware of that bond. In fact, you actually
Speaker 1: have Christmas gifts for her, but you haven't been able
Speaker 1: to see her. Isn't it true you try to adopt
Speaker 1: her too, But we're told she had been reunited with
Speaker 1: her bio dad. When we went through the process with Jamieson,
Speaker 1: we said what we instantly heard about harmony. When we
Speaker 1: first heard about Jamieson's situation, one of our first questions was,
Speaker 1: what's harmony situation? And is this a situation where we
Speaker 1: need to consider adopting both of them? Because if that's
Speaker 1: the case, we would do it. But we were quickly
Speaker 1: told this is harmony. Situation has already been closed and
Speaker 1: she's been night with their father And they can't ask
Speaker 1: you who told you that? Well, when we work through
Speaker 1: social Services in Massachusetts, when we used to live in Boston,
Speaker 1: you mean like Defacts Department, Family Children's Services. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: they're awful. They're the devil because Blair, I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how many cases I worked as a prosecutor a
Speaker 1: felony prosecutor investigating and trying cases where defects would go
Speaker 1: into a horrible situation and leave the child there and
Speaker 1: then the child would end up dead, over and over
Speaker 1: and over again. And in this particular case, Blair defacts
Speaker 1: was called over and over and over. And this says,
Speaker 1: after they tell you would be loving parent for harmony, No,
Speaker 1: you can't have her. She's back with her bio dad
Speaker 1: that we took her away from to start with. I
Speaker 1: don't understand that, Blair. Well, I think we're trying to
Speaker 1: understand that too right now, and we're retracing everything, every
Speaker 1: bit of paperwork we were ever given to try to
Speaker 1: understand what was the situation in and why was that happening,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of serious questions, and you know,
Speaker 1: Blair Miller guys joining me with you're with Cox correct, correct,
Speaker 1: I'm based in DC and reported an anchor for stations
Speaker 1: cross Country. Blair. I mean, it just pains me to
Speaker 1: know that this little girl who was called police were
Speaker 1: called on her when she had a black eye in
Speaker 1: a home about July August twenty nineteen. Then neighbors called
Speaker 1: about a month later about the horrible living conditions this
Speaker 1: little girl was surviving in nothing was done again. October.
Speaker 1: Relative calls again because there's a huge fight in the house.
Speaker 1: They see harmony there, they know it's a bad situation.
Speaker 1: They do nothing, and now she's gone. Guys, take a
Speaker 1: listen to our friend Diane Show NBC ten. Police would
Speaker 1: not disclose the address of the home she was last seen,
Speaker 1: but when asked about the circumstances involved, the police chief
Speaker 1: says it was the result of a call to service
Speaker 1: that involved the police department that called. The service was
Speaker 1: handled and that is the last time she has been
Speaker 1: seen here in the city of Manchester. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that she has not been seen somewhere else. With so
Speaker 1: many unanswered questions, authorities are now pleading for the public's
Speaker 1: help finding this little girl. I'm asking even I'll go
Speaker 1: as far as I'm begging the community. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you saw this young girl a year ago and
Speaker 1: you think it's irrelevant, call us. If you have any
Speaker 1: information that can help in this case. You're asked to
Speaker 1: call Manchester Police. A brand new tip line twenty four
Speaker 1: seven has just been instituted. Six zero three two zero
Speaker 1: three sixty sixty repeat six three two three six zero
Speaker 1: six zero. The reward has now climbed to twelve thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, I've got
Speaker 1: to make sense of what we're hearing. Straight out to
Speaker 1: Crime online dot Com investigative reporter Nicole Parton. Thank you
Speaker 1: Nicole for being with us. It's very rare that you
Speaker 1: hear this child is missing. Last time she was seen
Speaker 1: was two years ago. It's reminiscent of when Top Mom
Speaker 1: Gacy Anthony's child Kelly was reported and she had been
Speaker 1: missing thirty days. But this is even worse. So let's
Speaker 1: just start at the beginning, Nicole, what happened and who
Speaker 1: is she with? The last time she was saying the
Speaker 1: mom or the dad. So, Nancy, you're right. You and
Speaker 1: I have covered a lot of missing persons, probably over
Speaker 1: the twenty years of service together, hundreds of them. Never
Speaker 1: have we seen where the person is missing for two
Speaker 1: years before reported missing. So the last known whereabouts Little
Speaker 1: Harmony is with her father and it's the police who
Speaker 1: see her last. Because the police are called out to
Speaker 1: the home because of a family feud and argument. The
Speaker 1: neighbors call nine to one they hear this rupt us.
Speaker 1: We also have reports from an uncle who says he's
Speaker 1: trying to push his way through the front door he
Speaker 1: can see Harmony in the house. We have these reports
Speaker 1: of her last siding. That's October twenty nineteen, and this
Speaker 1: is what I understand. Back out to Blair Miller Blair,
Speaker 1: who is an anchor and reporter for Cox in Washington.
Speaker 1: Blair adopted Harmony's little brother, and so that's how he's
Speaker 1: in the mix. So Blair, this is what I understand.
Speaker 1: The home where she was last seen. I believe it
Speaker 1: was at seventy seven Crawford Street something like that. They're
Speaker 1: in Manchester, New Hampshire. The cops go out there October
Speaker 1: one because of a family fracas and the uncle, Kevin
Speaker 1: Montgomery's trying to get back in. Was the dispute over Harmony,
Speaker 1: because I've researched that it was, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about that. We're not sure about that either. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've spoken a little bit with Kevin Montgomery as well,
Speaker 1: and we spoke on the number of family members trying
Speaker 1: to understand who last saw her, what did they see.
Speaker 1: We've been talking with police asking the same thing and
Speaker 1: sharing what we know, but that that really is a
Speaker 1: mystery of her. You know, what was that about? How
Speaker 1: far did it go? And what happened after that? Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's seventy seven Guilford Street. Now here's an odd part.
Speaker 1: There were Montgomeries living there, relatives of little harmony. But
Speaker 1: then right after that the home is foreclosed. They all
Speaker 1: move away and new people move in. Now, in the
Speaker 1: last hours, there has been a massive search at that
Speaker 1: home where she was last seen, the seventy seven Guildford Street.
Speaker 1: The people that live there now are not connected to
Speaker 1: this case. They have been very helpful and cooperative. In fact,
Speaker 1: we were told that dogs were brought out and the
Speaker 1: dogs went through the house, found nothing. Dogs went in
Speaker 1: the backyard and dug up a corner of the backyard.
Speaker 1: Robert Crispin, private investigator, former cop now at Crispin Special
Speaker 1: Investigations dot Com. I've got a really bad attitude, all right, Robert,
Speaker 1: I've got a bad attitude because right now I hate everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm usually on the cop side, but come on. The
Speaker 1: cops were called out there in July, in August, in October.
Speaker 1: They are called when this little child has a black eye,
Speaker 1: defaxes in on it. They screw it up, say mate
Speaker 1: dropped the ball, really doesn't do it justice, the cops
Speaker 1: don't do anything, saying relatives don't do anything. The only
Speaker 1: person that really did anything was Blair Miller because he
Speaker 1: saved the little brother Jamison from this cesspool that Harmony's
Speaker 1: living in. So right now, I ain't everybody you don't answer,
Speaker 1: I gotta say it's an epic failure on every level
Speaker 1: in this case, starting with law enforcement that went to
Speaker 1: the house. You know, I've been there twice. I've seen
Speaker 1: these guys respond to these houses. I've seen people not
Speaker 1: do their job. I can't tell you of countless cases
Speaker 1: I've dealt with DFF even in the private sector. Could
Speaker 1: you leave a little child in that mess? And on
Speaker 1: the first occasion when Kevin Montgomery called the cops, according
Speaker 1: to him, the child, the little girl had a black eye.
Speaker 1: Now this little girl, to make it even more upsetting,
Speaker 1: so beautiful, is actually blind in her right eye. So
Speaker 1: when you see the pictures of her, all the photos
Speaker 1: we can show you are two years old. So has
Speaker 1: she cut her hair, we don't know. Does she look
Speaker 1: the same, we don't know, Because the last photo of
Speaker 1: this child is two years old. You know, how many
Speaker 1: pictures I've got on this thing right here? Maybe forty thousand,
Speaker 1: not kidding pictures. And they're all of the twins. They're
Speaker 1: so tired of me taking their picture. But to think
Speaker 1: nobody's taking a picture of this child for two years.
Speaker 1: The only person that did anything remotely helpful was Blair Miller,
Speaker 1: the reporter for Cox, because he adopted the little brother.
Speaker 1: So we also have Robert Crispin. Let me let you
Speaker 1: percolate with this. She was last in school in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: So when she doesn't come back, they're having back in school.
Speaker 1: They're not remote, so she doesn't show up. Did anybody go, hey,
Speaker 1: where's harmony? Oh? Hell no, they did nothing. Robert epics
Speaker 1: failure on the school system. Where is this kid? How
Speaker 1: come this kids dropped out of zoom? How come this
Speaker 1: kids dropped out of in person learning? What's going on?
Speaker 1: It's going to all start to come together. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you, Nancy, these these guys who responded to that
Speaker 1: callback in October of nineteen, they have some serious explaining
Speaker 1: to do. And that's where this entire case is going
Speaker 1: to start from. It's going to start from that day.
Speaker 1: Moving forward, time stories with Nancy grace. Doctor Jerry crossing
Speaker 1: with me psychologist, faculty Saint Leo University, author of Operations,
Speaker 1: Doctor Jerry, thanks for being with us. My I hate
Speaker 1: everybody moment. It is really not helping this at all.
Speaker 1: There were times that would be so frustrated and angry
Speaker 1: when I would be investigating or prosecuting a case. I'd
Speaker 1: have to pull off the road and just sit there
Speaker 1: and pull it back together and get back on the
Speaker 1: road and continue investigating the case. The anger really doesn't
Speaker 1: help anything. But I can tell you right now, I
Speaker 1: want to chew a nail in half, and I think
Speaker 1: I could do it, Doctor Jordy. There's so many fingers
Speaker 1: to point, but I just find it interesting what Blair
Speaker 1: and Miller is telling us. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: He is air brushing it. He's being super nice because
Speaker 1: his son, his adopted son. It's Jamison, isn't that his name? Blair? Yeah,
Speaker 1: has the same mother as Harmony, different dads, same mom,
Speaker 1: and he's being super sweet about her. But it will
Speaker 1: be a cold day in hell that I go two
Speaker 1: years and I don't know where my child is. I
Speaker 1: don't care if she has visitation acrossody or what you
Speaker 1: know where your child is, doctor Jory. I mean this
Speaker 1: is crazy talk. You know, Statistically, in these cases, drugs
Speaker 1: are going to be adding her to my hate list. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm backing you up on this one. You know, drugs
Speaker 1: have to be involved somewhere, especially with as young as
Speaker 1: the children are in the involvement of dcf uh. You know,
Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm looking at causation and not giving excuses.
Speaker 1: You're not really helping me, Jory. How to give you
Speaker 1: some therapy here? Okay? Yeah, your your righteous anger is correct.
Speaker 1: And a parent, especially somebody in that family that has
Speaker 1: not seen her uh and waste two years, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean I would still be beating on doors to
Speaker 1: get somebody involved, even d y after. If you're not
Speaker 1: getting responses, there's other avenues to take. I mean, go
Speaker 1: to the media, you get to the state police. I've
Speaker 1: always said that defects needs to go right into the
Speaker 1: deep fry down in hell because I've seen too many
Speaker 1: body bags of children they left behind. Because I've seen
Speaker 1: too many body bags a little children they left in
Speaker 1: the home. Guys, take a listen to this. We have
Speaker 1: spoken with as many family members as we can at
Speaker 1: this point, and we'll continue to do so. But I
Speaker 1: will go back to the point that she was last
Speaker 1: seen Addie Residence in Manchester in the October time frame
Speaker 1: with two thou nineteen. We Manchester Police became aware of
Speaker 1: this this week. And I know people are going to say, well,
Speaker 1: here it is two twenty one, almost two twenty two,
Speaker 1: and nobody's seen this young girl since late of October
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, So what's happened in the last two years?
Speaker 1: Fair question? All right, that's why I'm here today. We
Speaker 1: need assistance, we need help, and we don't have many
Speaker 1: answers to many questions that we have, and we'll continue
Speaker 1: to work and speak with the family ongoing as we speak. Okay,
Speaker 1: he didn't really give me any answers right there as
Speaker 1: to why they've done nothing since they last saw the
Speaker 1: little girl, as since they saw her with a black
Speaker 1: eye and d facts hasn't even shown their face at all.
Speaker 1: Do you blame them? Also, take a listen now, as
Speaker 1: a man Chester in Hampshire Police Chief Alan Aldenberg address
Speaker 1: says the school issue, take a listen. Last time she
Speaker 1: was enrolled in any type of school. From my understanding,
Speaker 1: you have to be confirmed as down in Massachusetts. But
Speaker 1: again she's seven right now, so twenty nineteen five years old,
Speaker 1: probably right around that kindergarten timeframe. Again, we've spoken with
Speaker 1: family members and we'll continue to do so. I know,
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to that, and that's a fair question, right,
Speaker 1: did we speak to mom? Did we speak to dad?
Speaker 1: Did we speak to this belt? Were speaking to any
Speaker 1: and all family members that come to our attention and
Speaker 1: ones that we are seeking out as well. He just
Speaker 1: keeps saying over and never speaking to the family. I
Speaker 1: guess that's the same family that gave her a black eye.
Speaker 1: I doubt there's going to be a whole lot of
Speaker 1: help to you. Nicole. Deboord houts Club joining us out
Speaker 1: of Houston. Former prosecutor now defense attorney at Houston Criminal
Speaker 1: Defense dot com. Way in Nicole, he had sounds like
Speaker 1: a terrible math. I mean, when you started an investigation
Speaker 1: two years after an incident, you are going to be
Speaker 1: missing critical information. I think this is going to be very,
Speaker 1: very difficult for law enforcement to put together at this point. Unfortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I can tell you when people say it's like
Speaker 1: a needle in a haystack, the needle, in my opinion
Speaker 1: is the father, because we are hearing from Blair Miller
Speaker 1: that the mom hasn't had custody or visitation with this
Speaker 1: little girl in about two years. So however we may
Speaker 1: or may not want to judge her. I don't have
Speaker 1: time to judge her character. But she doesn't have the
Speaker 1: little girl. That's really all I care about right now. Now,
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to our cut nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 1: Listen to what the chief of police says. Well, we
Speaker 1: ask people, don't play detective. Okay, don't play police officer.
Speaker 1: That is our job. That's the men and women's job
Speaker 1: that work under Captain Leaden. People going on social media
Speaker 1: and circulating their opinions of their theories to do nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing for this investigation and are no good and are
Speaker 1: no helpful in trying to locate harmony. I asked, if
Speaker 1: you leave that work to where it belongs to. It
Speaker 1: belongs to the Manchester Police Department. We're two years behind
Speaker 1: the power curve. Leave it to the Manchester Police Department
Speaker 1: because they've done such a great job so far. Really,
Speaker 1: does anybody remember on this panel, Let's go to you
Speaker 1: Nicole parton Crime online dot Com. The whole reason that
Speaker 1: Gabby Potito's body was found was because of social media
Speaker 1: and people, as he says, playing detective, they happened to
Speaker 1: see Gabby's van and they had a picture of it,
Speaker 1: and that's how Gabby was found. And those cops, the FBI,
Speaker 1: all the local cops in Florida, Adam, Wyoming, all across
Speaker 1: in Yellowstone, they didn't turn down the help. They used
Speaker 1: it and they found Gabby's body. So what is this cop,
Speaker 1: uh Alan Aldenberg telling people? Don't play detective, don't play
Speaker 1: police officer, really, because if we don't microphone, who's that
Speaker 1: jumping Crispin? Listen, he shouldn't be the one front of
Speaker 1: the microphone right now. And I'm not really liking what
Speaker 1: he's saying because I will tell you, from twenty five
Speaker 1: years in law enforcement, the public helped me solve so
Speaker 1: many crime. Social media today, social media, it's incredible. Law
Speaker 1: enforcement gives you the leads that you need. People come
Speaker 1: forward in social media, people make comments. Those comments turns
Speaker 1: into leads, Those leads turn into arrest, those arrestaurants, conviction.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. Even a prosecutor, you know that,
Speaker 1: you darn right, Crispin. I mean, I'm just getting chills
Speaker 1: on my right arm right now. I'm so angry with
Speaker 1: this officer, this police chief Aldenburgh. No, he didn't take
Speaker 1: the child, but he's not helping right now. Another thing,
Speaker 1: don't get involved. Wasn't it an email to you, Blair Miller?
Speaker 1: This is the adoptive dad of Jamison. This is Harmony's
Speaker 1: little brother. That this little girl tried to take care
Speaker 1: of her little brother and foster care. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: that she's seven now, if she's still alive, and while
Speaker 1: Jamison and she were in foster care, she's trying to
Speaker 1: take care of a little brother. Blair Miller, a reporter
Speaker 1: and anchor with Cox News who has adopted Jamison. Isn't
Speaker 1: it true that the whole reason somebody put a fire
Speaker 1: under the cops rear in is because there was an
Speaker 1: email sent to the mayor's office about defects not following
Speaker 1: through on Harmony's case. Now the mom is now taking
Speaker 1: credit for that. I know I've heard Elsa it was anonymous.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's sent it, but that's how the
Speaker 1: whole thing correct whine open. And that's what we've been told.
Speaker 1: And like I said earlier, we've always had a very
Speaker 1: open relationship with the mom and we've encouraged her countless
Speaker 1: times to go to police, go to anyone who will listen,
Speaker 1: go to DCF, and we even said can we do
Speaker 1: that for you? Can we can we help with that?
Speaker 1: And do we need to get police involved? What do
Speaker 1: we need to do? And we try to reach out
Speaker 1: to the father on social media to see if we
Speaker 1: could connect with him to see Nicole. What's the dad's name, yes,
Speaker 1: Adam Montgomery, Yeah, okay. And the uncle who is Harmony's
Speaker 1: great uncle, it's Adam Montgomery's uncle is Kevin Montgomery. The
Speaker 1: one missing that we seem to think Harmony was last
Speaker 1: with is Adam Montgomery Blair. Was Adam Montgomery living in
Speaker 1: New Hampshire or had he moved? We were when we
Speaker 1: adopted Jamison. We were told that Harmony was reunited with
Speaker 1: her father back in February of twenty nineteen, and that
Speaker 1: was in New Hampshire. And that's about the level of
Speaker 1: detail that we were given in the moments that we
Speaker 1: were adopting Jamison and trying to sort out his situation
Speaker 1: in his family situation. Okay, that is helpful, That's very
Speaker 1: helpful because Robert Crispin's If he's in another state, that's
Speaker 1: going to lead to all kind of jurisdictional problems. But
Speaker 1: if he's in Hampshire, we know he's got a social
Speaker 1: Security number. He's either working or he's collecting a check.
Speaker 1: Either way, you can find him through a social I mean,
Speaker 1: do I need to call the police chief and tail
Speaker 1: him that or we're going to find him on a
Speaker 1: license plate reader. If he's got a card, he's out
Speaker 1: run around. Those license plate readers are going to track
Speaker 1: you all over the country and that's why I'm going
Speaker 1: to find you. And there is the possibility, Crispin, that
Speaker 1: they have already found him and the girl's not with him.
Speaker 1: This is very true, and what would leave me to
Speaker 1: believe that is the emotional original public release by the
Speaker 1: chief when he became all choked up. It led me
Speaker 1: to believe that he knew a lot more than what
Speaker 1: he could tell the public at this point, because they
Speaker 1: were trying to gather enough evidence for an indictment for somebody,
Speaker 1: and he already knew the facts, and this really hit
Speaker 1: him hard, and it was tough for him to actually
Speaker 1: give that first one because of what he may already
Speaker 1: know you'd be surprised, Nancy, And you know this as
Speaker 1: a prosecutor. The public only gets a tidbit of information
Speaker 1: because law enforcement has to keep what they know close
Speaker 1: to the best so the freaks don't come out of
Speaker 1: the woodwork and the psychos come out of the woodwork
Speaker 1: to try to take credit for things and just muddy
Speaker 1: up the water, or to preserve evidence, or to make
Speaker 1: sure certain evidence doesn't get tampered with or destroyed because
Speaker 1: somebody knows ah while they already know about that piece
Speaker 1: of evidence, I have to go get rid of that
Speaker 1: right now. That's why these press conferences are a tough
Speaker 1: position for certain people. And believe me, I do not
Speaker 1: think this Chief Aldeburgh was the one that answered that
Speaker 1: call that saw Harmony with a black eye, that left
Speaker 1: her when there was a huge fight going on, possibly
Speaker 1: about her, and the uncle is calling, calling, calling the
Speaker 1: neighbors or calling trying to get help for Harmony. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's the one in that patrol car. They
Speaker 1: have a completely additional situation they need to deal with.
Speaker 1: What's their policy about reporting this to DCF as soon
Speaker 1: as they walk out of that house. If they think
Speaker 1: that that child is in in danger. Obviously they have
Speaker 1: to take the kid. If they think it's you know,
Speaker 1: not a danger imminent to the child, it still needs
Speaker 1: to be reported to DCF. Some agencies have a mandatory
Speaker 1: reporting requirement. Well, it's my understanding they had been under
Speaker 1: DCF care because they've been placed in foster homes, so
Speaker 1: they call it their DCYF Department Children Youth. That's where
Speaker 1: the why comes in. But DCF defacts had to be
Speaker 1: part of it if they had been in foster care.
Speaker 1: Time stories with Nancy Grace Blair Miller back to you,
Speaker 1: and again, I already know you're not going to say
Speaker 1: a bad word about the bio mom. Can you tell
Speaker 1: me was it your understanding, not that you knew or
Speaker 1: saw her, but was it your understanding she was with
Speaker 1: the bio dad and that bio mom had been trying
Speaker 1: to reach them online. That's very much our understanding, and
Speaker 1: our understanding was the mom was trying it sounded like
Speaker 1: very hard to get in touch with her, getting in
Speaker 1: touch with the daughter I telephone. Keep in mind us
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts to New Hampshire, and so I think she
Speaker 1: was trying to locate all that and figure that out. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: we're hearing that he was still in New Hampshire. Do
Speaker 1: you have reason to believe he moved to Massachusetts. I
Speaker 1: don't have any reason to believe her is the mom
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts New Hampshire. We've always known her to be
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. Okay, now I understand what you're saying. Isn't
Speaker 1: there another little brother? Didn't Harmony have two brothers? Yes,
Speaker 1: there's a mom has had a child here in the
Speaker 1: last I think maybe two years. Where is that baby?
Speaker 1: And baby's with her and so she has that baby. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut eleven. This is Scott
Speaker 1: Cook wmu R News nine. When last scene, Harmony was
Speaker 1: about four feet tall. She has blonde hair, blue eyes,
Speaker 1: and is blind in her right eye, so she may
Speaker 1: be wearing glasses. Police say she may have been going
Speaker 1: to school in Massachusetts when last se Who care if
Speaker 1: you saw this young girl a year ago and you
Speaker 1: think it's irrelevant, call us and say I saw her
Speaker 1: a year ago, I saw her eighteen months ago, I
Speaker 1: saw her a week ago. Let's lessen that two year
Speaker 1: window and keep bringing it, keep shrinking that two year
Speaker 1: window to the present day to day, and let's chase
Speaker 1: down every possible avenue with the hopes of finding Harmony,
Speaker 1: and Manchester Police tell us they just found out earlier
Speaker 1: this week that Harmony was missing again. They're asking anyone
Speaker 1: who may have seen her in the last two years
Speaker 1: to give them a call. This whole thing is sideways,
Speaker 1: doctor Jerry Crossen. She should be in school somewhere. She
Speaker 1: had been in school in Massachusetts, then they moved to
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Never bothered to notice that Harmony was
Speaker 1: missing or raise an alarm about it. But she should
Speaker 1: be in school somewhere, right, Yeah, And you know that's
Speaker 1: kind of an easy thing to check. I mean the
Speaker 1: school system here. We got thirty three thousand students in
Speaker 1: my county. But you know, we know what students we
Speaker 1: can check that and that's for the police. That's a
Speaker 1: step one. It should be in you know, at least
Speaker 1: eliminating that she's not in school any or she's not
Speaker 1: registered on a zoo line or in homeschooling. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not ruling out this child is alive somewhere, but
Speaker 1: the fact that she's not in school and nobody can
Speaker 1: find her, and I believe it would be as Crispin
Speaker 1: says pretty easy to track the dad and find him
Speaker 1: and she's not there. Although I don't take any hope
Speaker 1: Nicole Hotch Globe joining us out of Houston, with the
Speaker 1: fact that they showed up a residence with dogs that
Speaker 1: dug up and then dug up part of the backyard,
Speaker 1: that's definitely not encouraging. And the reality is that two
Speaker 1: years later, a lot of biological evidence that we would
Speaker 1: have ordinarily been able to track down maybe in that
Speaker 1: house is just not going to be available. There's a
Speaker 1: new family living in the house, and there are going
Speaker 1: to be you know, there's a cleaning that's gone on,
Speaker 1: there's living that's gone on, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: very difficult for a forensic team to collect necessary evidence
Speaker 1: to make an assessment about what could have happened. Now
Speaker 1: listen to Amy Casino wmure our cut fourteen investigators say
Speaker 1: they have talked with many many family members of seven
Speaker 1: year old Harmony Montgomery, but declined to elaborate on which ones.
Speaker 1: The chief confirms that she was in the child welfare
Speaker 1: system in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and that it
Speaker 1: was DCYF here in New Hampshire that notified them last week.
Speaker 1: That Harmony was missing last scene two years ago. How
Speaker 1: does two years ago while before that agency flags at
Speaker 1: the lawn horse? Sure, question, that's the question I've asked.
Speaker 1: All right, Hopefully at some point along this I get
Speaker 1: an answer to you know, according to our sources, the
Speaker 1: mother and the bio Crystal Sorry is saying she's the
Speaker 1: one that sent the email to the Mayor's office learning
Speaker 1: them that there have been no defects Department Family Children's
Speaker 1: Services follow through on her daughter Harmony. Isn't that right, Jackie? Okay,
Speaker 1: so take a listen. However, to our cut seventeen Mike
Speaker 1: cronin News nine, Manchester Police confirmed to News nine that
Speaker 1: investigators were searching a property on Guilford Street in Manchester
Speaker 1: Sunday in connection to the search for missing seven year
Speaker 1: old Harmony Montgomery. Also new Sunday. Mayor Joyce Craig's office
Speaker 1: says it received an email last week with a concern
Speaker 1: about Harmony that was primarily about issues with a follow
Speaker 1: up from DCYF. According to the Mayor's office, they told
Speaker 1: that person if they felt the child was in danger,
Speaker 1: to immediately call nine one one or give them further
Speaker 1: information so they could let police know, the mayor's office
Speaker 1: says that person never responded back. So I guess, mommy,
Speaker 1: if she did make the first emails in the first email,
Speaker 1: that she just got busy and didn't respond to the
Speaker 1: mayor's office when they asked her to respond back. Okay,
Speaker 1: Straight back out to Blair Miller, the adoptive dad of Jamison,
Speaker 1: Harmony's little brother. He is an anchor and reporter with
Speaker 1: Cox News. Blair, I've got a feeling that they have
Speaker 1: located the bio dad and they still can't find Harmony.
Speaker 1: Do you have any indication that is or is not true.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been told a lot of things Mance
Speaker 1: in and so you know, as far as anything official,
Speaker 1: we don't know, but we've certainly been told that's possible,
Speaker 1: and so we're trying to be respectful that. At the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, the only thing we're focused on
Speaker 1: right now, which is why I'm here today, is you know,
Speaker 1: finding Harmony and getting her back and so I can
Speaker 1: figure out what we tell our son. You're right, You're right, Blair.
Speaker 1: So to you. Robert Crispin, former law enforcement now private
Speaker 1: investigator with Crispin's Special investig dot Com. What should we
Speaker 1: the public be doing now to help find Harmony. Thinking
Speaker 1: back the last two years, what you know, what you remember,
Speaker 1: and report it, put it out there, get it to
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Take a look at this little girl, Harmony Montgomery.
Speaker 1: The photos you're seeing are of her at age five.
Speaker 1: She is now seven, about four feet tall. She's legally
Speaker 1: blind in her right eye, she's wearing glasses. She's about
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, and she's got a beautiful, beautiful smile. And
Speaker 1: when you look at that smile, you'd never know she's
Speaker 1: been bouncing from one foster home to the next. Where
Speaker 1: is this girl? Help us? Nancy Grace Crumbs story signing off,
