Little Harmony Montgomery's life was filled with hardship and tragedy.

Both of her parents suffered from addiction problems. These issues were addressed by a judge who gave sole custody to her father, Adam Montgomery, a career criminal. Harmony was just five years old when she was last seen alive in 2019.

Now her own father is on trial for her murder. I'm Vinny Politan and on this week's

court TV podcast you'll hear both sides lay out their cases to the jury in their opening statements.

The state's theory on how harmony was killed and the lengths that Adam Montgomery allegedly went through to hide his daughter's body.

And you'll also hear the defense's assertion that Adam did not kill his daughter.

Have a listen. This is the that Adam did not kill his daughter.

Have a listen.

This is the Court TV Podcast with Vinny Polytan.

As I said to you yesterday, we hoped and planned that we would begin with

opening statements this morning and that's exactly where we are. So when the

state is ready. Thank you.

Where is Harmony,

Montgomery? Where is Harmony? Where is Harmony?

Where is Harmony? When people across this nation from Florida, all the way up to Alaska and everywhere in between we're looking for harmony.

There's one person who is not one person.

The one person who should have been looking for Harmony was not her biological father,

that defendant that you saw two days ago. He wasn't looking for her, and in fact he was hoping that she wouldn't be found. His concern was

not with finding this innocent five-year-old girl his concern was that she

would be

brought to light.
