Adam Montgomery has been found guilty of the murder of his five-year-old daughter Harmony.
A jury found the New Hampshire father, 34, guilty after six hours of deliberation over two days, following a two-week trial.
Prosecutors successfully alleged that Montgomery repeatedly punched the helpless child in the face back in 2019 after she had a bathroom accident in the car.
He then took opioids as she died of her injuries on the backseat.
Harmony, who was blind in one eye, was last seen alive before the incident, and her body has not yet been recovered.

The motive is believed to be Montgomery being angry that Harmony had wet herself in the car
According to the report, in earlier hearings, prosecutors have alleged that the evil child-killer moved the body from container to container and place to place as her body decayed.
The locations included the trunk of a friend’s car, a cooler in the hallway of his mother-in-law’s apartment building, the ceiling vent of a homeless shelter and an apartment freezer.
Montgomery’s estranged wife Kayla, step-mother to Harmony said that at one point the body was kept in a tote bag from a hospital maternity ward according to the same report.
Kayla, who is reported to have been there at the time of the murder, said she placed the tote bag in between her own young children in a stroller and brought it to her husband’s workplace.
Investigators allege that Montgomery finally disposed of the body in early March 2020 with a rented moving truck.
Toll data shows the truck in question crossed the Tobin Bridge in Boston multiple times but there is no other highway data to help police identify the whereabouts of the body.
In April, police searched a marshy area in Revere, Massachusetts – but to no avail.
Prosecutor Ben Agati labelled Montgomery as an ‘enraged titan’ for his heinous crime.

He said: ‘Adam Montgomery was no loving father. He was an enraged titan who had no business being around Harmony.
‘On the day of Harmony’s death, all he had was his car, his rage, his fists. After he learns Harmony, soiled herself in the car.
‘He took her life in rage over a bathroom accident.’
Montgomery is reported to have said: ‘I think I really hurt her this time’ after the fatal punch – and went on to say: ‘I felt something’.
