Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC News

A judge has ruled that Harmony Montgomery, a 5-year-old girl missing since 2019, is legally dead, following her father's conviction for killing her. Her mother, Crystal Sorey, has been granted the right to become the administrator of her estate and is preparing for a wrongful death lawsuit against the state. The ruling comes after evidence presented during the trial, including testimony from Adam Montgomery's estranged wife, indicated that Harmony was killed as a result of a catastrophic event.
