MANCHESTER, New York – The lawyers of the father of a girl from New Hampshire, who disappeared in 2019 at the age of 5, asked a judge to order the Attorney General’s Office to provide camera footage from his interaction with police.
Adam Montgomery has been in jail since January on several charges, including a second-degree assault charge, in which he punched his daughter Harmony Montgomery in the face in July 2019. He pleaded not guilty.
His lawyers, in a request filed on Friday, requested footage from the police body camera of Adam Montgomery’s interactions with police on December 31, 2021 and January 2.
Lawyers said the request falls within the state’s criminal procedure rules, “as it will consist of statements from witnesses, such as police officers, and must therefore be provided within 45 calendar days of the entry of a guilty plea.” Mr Montgomery entered his guilty plea on 4 January 2022. “
The chief prosecutor’s office is aware of the filing and will respond appropriately in court, a spokesman said Monday. The office has 10 days to respond.
Adam Montgomery had custody of Harmony, who was last seen in late 2019, but authorities did not know she was missing until last year.
Montgomery told police he brought Harmony to be with his mother in Massachusetts around Thanksgiving 2019.
Police are still searching for Harmony and have received hundreds of pieces of advice. They searched Adam Montgomery’s former residence last week.
Police are offering $ 150,000 for information that will take them to the missing child.
