Adam was convicted of beating 5-year-old Harmony to death and then concealing her body for months before eventually disposing of it; Harmony’s remains have never been found. Crystal Sorey, Harmony’s mother, did not have custody of Harmony when she was killed.

Sorey won a $2.25 million settlement in May from New Hampshire after she filed a lawsuit accusing them of negligence and ignoring signs that Harmony was in danger.
