(Manchester, NH) — The stepmother of missing 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery is facing perjury charges.
State officials say 31-year-old Kayla Montgomery was arrested last week, this after she was busted on gun charges back in April.
Her stepdaughter reportedly disappeared sometime in 2019, but neither Kayla Montgomery nor the child’s father, Adam Montgomery, notified local authorities that she was missing until last year.
An investigation into Harmony Montgomery’s disappearance is ongoing.
