Harmony, who had been living with her father, Adam Montgomery and her stepmother, Kayla Montgomery, was allegedly struck in the face by her father in June of 2019, and appeared to have disappeared sometime between November 28, 2019, and December 10, 2019.
It would be two years before police would learn of the child's disappearance.

Adam Montgomery has been indicated on a felony assault charge stemming from physical abuse of Harmony reported in 2019 and unrelated weapons charges. His estranged wife Kayla Montgomery has been indicated on lysing to a federal grand jury.
