The disturbing case of Adam Montgomery has centered on one question: how did so many people ignore the tell-tale signs of abuse and neglect?  In this episode of "Hidden Killers", Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke explore the complacency of Montgomery's inner circle. Friends and family members seemed all too willing to accept the excuse that Harmony was living safely with her birth mother, conveniently absolving them of any responsibility.

Dreeke suggests a fascinating motivation: self-preservation. Knowing Montgomery's violent nature, could those around him have clung to the lie of Harmony's safety as a way to avoid confrontation and protect themselves?  Could they have believed their own rationalizations?

But will the prosecution's case hold up? Montgomery's chilling lack of remorse, combined with the less-than-credible witnesses, raises a key concern: could this conviction be overturned?  Dreeke examines the defense's potential avenues for appeal, including possible claims of ineffective counsel. Did Montgomery's decision to remain silent in court and his lack of cooperation with his lawyers harm his own defense?

This thought-provoking discussion highlights the complex interplay of guilt, fear, and enablement within the tragic case of Harmony Montgomery.
