Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Lemley. In spite of the atrocity she claims to have witnessed, the estranged wife of a New Hampshire man charged with killing his five-year-old daughter and

concealing her body for months has testified that she still loves him. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. Kayla Montgomery has been the key witness against her husband, Adam, who faces second-degree murder and other counts in the death of Harmony. Authorities suspect the girl was murdered on December 7, 2019, but it was two years before she was reported missing. The girl's body has yet to be found despite extensive searches. As the trial gets underway, defense counsel agreed that Adam Montgomery was guilty of fabricating evidence and abusing a corpse. However, they claim he did not kill Harmony

and instead believe the girl died on December 6th while alone with her stepmother, Kayla. The family, including the couple's two young boys, had been forced to live in their car after being evicted. Kayla claims that on the morning of December 7th, while driving from a methadone clinic to a fast food restaurant, Adam punched Harmony several times along the way. Kayla displayed little emotion as she responded to questions regarding her giving food to the

children without first checking on Harmony. She remained stoic through subsequent questions about later finding the girl dead and all the places where she said the body was hidden, including a homeless center ceiling vent and the walk-in freezer at her husband's place of employment. However, when asked if she still loved Adam, she burst into tears and wiped her face with tissues. She replied, I still care about him because he's the father of my children. He was my best friend. It's been hard for me to just let go. Kayla Montgomery admitted to lying to the grand jury about her whereabouts at the time Harmony was last seen, and as a result, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Although

she did not receive immunity, she told Smith that she had not experienced any more repercussions for the contradictions in her claims to the police or prosecutors. Adam Montgomery has not been in the courtroom for his trial. He was found guilty of stealing a gun in a separate case last year and received a sentence of more than 30 years in prison. Following the discovery of three bodies in a deadly shooting at a residence in central Arkansas over the weekend, a 15-year-old boy has now been apprehended and charged with capital murder. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Somner. According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office, the three victims were discovered shot dead when

police arrived at a structure fire west of Trackswood, a city located approximately 35 miles south of Little Rock. The victims were named by the Sheriff's Office as 16-year-old Aaliyah Martin, 53-year-old Dara Martin, and 47-year-old Jacob Martin Sr. The suspect, who was reportedly questioned the day of the shooting and then charged as an adult with capital murder, has not been identified by the Sheriff's Office. Deputies say the teenager is being held without bond and is also accused of abusing a corpse, arson, and tampering with physical evidence. The teen's relationship to the three victims has not been disclosed by the sheriff's office. Thanks, John.
