The father of missing New Hampshire girlHarmony Montgomerywas arrested on Tuesday night two years after the girl’s mysterious disappearance.
PEOPLE confirms that Adam Montgomery, 31, was taken into custody on Tuesday on multiple counts. He has been charged with felony second-degree assault in connection with 2019 conduct against his daughter, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said in a statement. He has also been charged with one misdemeanor charge of interference with custody, and two misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child pertaining to Harmony.
The arrest comes just days after new details emerged in the disturbing case.
In an interview with theTheDailyBeast, Harmony’s great-uncle, Kevin Montgomery, said that the little girl “looked like a scared puppy” the last time he saw her in 2019. Kevin said that he had been at Harmony’s house during a family dispute that frightened the little girl.
After the dispute, Adam Montgomery blocked most of his family from any contact with the little girl. She has not been seen since.
On Dec. 31, 2021, authorities issued a “missing child” alert after learning of her disappearance. The Manchester police department has launched an investigation to find her. They have interviewed several members of Harmony’s families for information about what might have happened to her.
