Zenebou Sylla, CNN (CNN) — The stepmother of 5-year-old Harmony Montgomery, the missing girl who authorities said was killed in New Hampshire in 2019, was granted parole Thursday morning, video from her parole hearing shows.
Harmony Montgomery, 5, has been dead for more than four years when she was murdered by her father Adam Montgomery, but now she’s been legally declared dead.
A judge has ruled that a 5-year-old New Hampshire girl missing since 2019 is legally dead and her mother can become administrator of her estate, just weeks after the child’s father was convicted of killing her.
A judge has granted Crystal Sorey’s request to declare her daughter Harmony Montgomery deceased after a jury convicted the little girl’s father of her murder last month.
