    Her father, Adam Montgomery, is currently on trial for Harmony's murder.

    Videos sent to police by a former Walmart employee revealed what Harmony's father and stepmother Kayla Montgomery were doing the day before she was reported missing, according to the trial video from NBC affiliate WMUR.

    "I was able to see [from the security videos] three people approach the ECO ATM machine," Michael Dobe told the jury in his testimony on Friday.

    "While one person remained at the EcoATM machine, two others proceeded to then walk around the store."

    He explained that an explained that an EcoATM was a "human-less pawn shop."

    The machine gives users cash in exchange for their electronics.

    The court played a series of videos from 2021 that Dobe had collected and sent to the Manchester Police Department in New Hampshire.

    The videos were from December 30, 2021 — only a day before Harmony was reported missing to police.

    The former Walmart employee explained that the store has two different types of cameras; stationary and PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras.

    The stationary cameras remain in one spot while the PTZ cameras can pan 360 degrees, zoom in and out, and tilt up and down.

    In a few of the videos, the man and one of the women could be seen walking through different aisles in the store while the second woman remained at the EcoATM.

    The man was seen wearing a tan baseball cap and Coors T-shirt but removed his jacket while in the store.

    He was later seen leaving the store with the woman he was walking through the aisles with.

    The second woman, who stayed at the EcoATM, used a different door to exit.

    Dobe confirmed to the jury that he had reviewed the videos and the woman at the EcoATM machine finished her transaction before leaving.

    HARMONY'S HEARTBREAKING STORY

    Prosecutors have accused Adam of fatally beating his daughter after she wet herself in the car they were living in at the time.

    He has been charged with second-degree murder, tampering with witnesses and informants, falsifying physical evidence, and abuse of a corpse.

    After she died, Kayla Montgomery testified that she saw Adam take his daughter's lifeless body, "fold her in half, and squished" her inside the Catholic Medical Center hospital bag.

    She also said that Harmony's body was placed in the trunk of a car, in the bottom of the same stroller as her siblings, in a cooler in an apartment building, in the ceiling vent of a homeless shelter, and in a freezer.

    Kayla's mother, Christina Lubin, recently testified in court claiming that both Adam and Kayla stayed with her and it was the last time she had seen Harmony.

    When they stayed with Lubin a few months later, Harmony was no longer with them.

    Lubin explained that once she left money in a cooler when Kayla needed money for a new tire.

    "I left them money in a cooler in my side hallway so that they could get their tire fixed," she said to the jury.

    "It was a red cooler with a white top that would flip open," she said when asked to describe it.

    The same cooler was used to keep Harmony's body hidden.

    Police are still searching her body, but prosecutors allege that Adam disposed of it in March 2020.

    They have asked anyone with information to call the dedicated tip line at (603) 932-8997.
