Murder of Harmony Montgomery (New Hampshire, 2019–2022)

The Murder of Harmony Montgomery is a factual true-crime narrative that reconstructs how a five-year-old girl vanished from public view for more than two years before authorities realized she was missing. Told from a first-person detective perspective and grounded strictly in verified records, the story traces Harmony’s life through custody decisions, inter-agency failures, and overlooked warning signs that allowed her disappearance to go unnoticed. The investigation unfolds backward in time, relying on digital data, court filings, and sworn testimony to establish what happened after physical evidence was lost. With no body ever recovered, the case is built through documentation rather than scenes, revealing how absence itself became the central evidence. The story concludes with the legal outcomes, ongoing searches, and the enduring record of a child whose death exposed systemic breakdowns rather than momentary oversight.
