Kayla Montgomery, stepmother to a New Hampshire girl, who disappeared years ago and is presumed to be dead, has pleaded guilty to unrelated charges. She also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors who have accused her husband for her murder, court documents show.
The 32-year old filed court papers in New Hampshire’s Hillsborough County Superior Court Wednesday detailing her plan to plead guilty and face charges of lying to a grand jury about a job she held from 2019. Prosecutors claimed she provided false information regarding the time and location of her work shift.
Prosecutors have agreed to drop charges against Kayla for possessing stolen guns and for lying to the state about her care for Harmony Montgomery (a 5-year-old girl who disappeared in 2019), in return for a guilty plea. Kayla allegedly told police Harmony that her father was responsible for the girl’s death.
