Adam Montgomery, 33, did not kill Harmony Montgomery, 5, but he did help with the cover-up and disposal of her corpse, defense counsel for the father accused of killing his long-missing daughter argued in a Manchester, New Hampshire, courtroom late Thursday morning.

During an explosive opening statement, the accused man’s attorney placed blame for the child’s death at the feet of his client’s estranged wife, Kayla Montgomery, 33, who is slated to testify against him.

“Kayla was an equal participant in the cover-up,” defense attorney Jamie Brooks summed up in the Hillsborough County Court. “She alone knows how Harmony died. And she won’t tell.”
