Police said a massive search was underway Tuesday at a New Hampshire home where Harmony Montgomery’s father and stepmother lived.
Local and federal law enforcement agencies were involved in a search of property in Manchester as part of the investigation into the disappearance of the little girl.
“It’s rough. I know in my heart that this is no longer a rescue operation. They’re looking for a body,” Harmony’s biological mother, Crystal Sorri, told Boston 25 News of the discovery.
It was not immediately clear when Adam Montgomery and his wife Kayla lived at home.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office would not disclose any details regarding the current search.
Earlier this year, officers searched an isolated house in Manchester where the couple lived.
Harmony’s father had custody of her when she was last seen at the age of 5, in late 2019. Authorities weren’t alerted to his disappearance until last year – more than two years after his disappearance.
The girl’s father has been in jail since January on various charges, including an allegation that he allegedly hit Harmony in the face in July 2019. He has pleaded not guilty to that charge.
Meanwhile, his wife is currently out on bail after pleading not guilty to theft on charges of cheating, when she was accused of falsely claiming that Sadbhavna was living with him to seek welfare benefits. .
The couple previously told investigators that Harmony went to live with her mother in Massachusetts around Thanksgiving 2019.
But Harmony’s mother said she last saw the girl during a phone video conversation around Easter that year.
Police have received hundreds of tips since they began their search for Harmony. The reward for information that leads them to the missing child now sits at $150,000.
