Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella and Manchester Police Chief Allen D. Aldenberg announce that Adam Montgomery (age 33) of Manchester, was sentenced today in the Hillsborough County Superior Court – Northern District, on multiple counts after being found guilty after trial.

In June 2023, a jury found Mr. Montgomery guilty of two counts each of Armed Career Criminal, Theft By Unauthorized Taking, and Receiving Stolen Property for stealing two firearms, a Mossberg shotgun, and an AR-15 Bear Arms rifle, from a home in Manchester between September and October 2019. At trial, testimony was elicited how Mr. Montgomery then negotiated the sale of the guns, one of which was later recovered. Mr. Montgomery agreed at trial that he had requisite previous felony convictions that qualified him as an Armed Career Criminal.

At today's sentencing, upon hearing from the parties, the Court imposed two stand-committed consecutive sentences of 15–30 years for each charge of being an Armed Career Criminal, followed by an additional consecutive stand-committed sentence of 7½-15 years for the remaining charges with 5 years of that minimum sentence suspended. In the aggregate, the defendant's sentence mandates a minimum of 32½ years of incarceration given the defendant's extensive criminal history.

"I appreciate the hard work of our trial team and the Manchester Police Department and thank them for their efforts in this case. I would also like to thank the court for the consideration and thought given in today's sentencing. The Manchester community and all Granite Staters can be assured that we will continue to seek justice and protect the people of New Hampshire," said Attorney General John M. Formella.

Mr. Montgomery's arrest and conviction was on one set of pending charges. His next trial is scheduled to begin in November 2023 for charges related to the murder and disappearance of Harmony Montgomery. Two additional sets of firearm charges have not yet been scheduled for trial by the Court. On each charge still pending, the charges are accusations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The Manchester Police Department continues to investigate the murder of Harmony Montgomery. If you have any information about the location of Harmony's remains or the circumstances of her murder, please call or text the 24-hour tip line dedicated to Harmony Montgomery at 603-203-6060.
