    In a stunning and heartbreaking twist, the New Hampshire Supreme Court has overturned Adam Montgomery's murder conviction in the death of his 5-year-old daughter, Harmony Montgomery. The court ruled that Montgomery was denied a fair trial, vacating the second-degree murder conviction that many believed finally delivered justice for the little girl whose body has never been found. Prosecutors have already vowed to retry the case, ensuring the fight for Harmony is far from over. Join Surviving the Survivor as we break down the shocking ruling, what happens next, and whether justice for Harmony Montgomery is now at risk.
