 [NYPOST] The New Hampshire dad who brutally beat his 5-year-old daughter Harmony Montgomery to death was given 45 years to life in prison after he dramatically refused to reveal where her body was in exchange for a lighter sentence.
Adam Montgomery, 34, who was found guilty of murdering his Harmony, remained silent and stone-faced at his court hearing Thursday despite a surprise offer from prosecutors to reduce his sentence by as much as 21 years, WMUR reports.
Montgomery stuffed his daughter’s body in a tote bag, then a cooler as he hid her death for months, prosecutors said. He even stashed the little girl in the freezer at the restaurant where he worked — before disposing of it in an unknown location, authorities allege.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Ben Agati told the judge that if Montgomery could give Harmony’s family closure by revealing where he left the toddler’s body, then the state would no longer ask for a that maximum of 56-years to life, but instead seek 35-to-life.
