MANCHESTER — Two businessmen from the Massachusetts cities of Newton and Lynn, who wish to remain anonymous, have donated $10,500 to the reward fund in the case of missing Manchester girl Harmony Montgomery, police announced Tuesday.

Added to the $10,000 pledge by Manchester businessmen Arthur Sullivan and Dick Anagnost, plus $2,500 from the Manchester Crime Line fund, the reward for information that leads to Harmony now stands at $33,000.

“The Manchester Police Department wants to extend its gratitude to the people who have selflessly offered up cash rewards in hopes of generating tips leading to the whereabouts of 7-year-old Harmony Montgomery,” police department spokeswoman Heather Hamel said in a statement.

Harmony was 5 when she was last seen in Manchester in October 2019. Police Chief Allen Aldenberg said at a Monday press conference that “until someone shows me otherwise, we believe she is alive, and we will do everything possible to find her.”

Also announced at the press conference was the creation of a dedicated “tip line” that Aldenberg said police will monitor around the clock to take phone calls or text messages from the public.

That number is 603-203-6060.

Meanwhile, the search for Harmony remains a “rescue mission,” not a “recovery mission,” Aldenberg emphasized.

“We believe Harmony is alive, and we want to find her that way,” he said.

Harmony is white, approximately 4 feet tall, 50 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and should be wearing glasses. She is blind in one eye.

Aldenberg urged people to “key in on the glasses and the child’s eye issue,” referring to a characteristic that is readily noticeable.
