Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

  1. Adam Montgomery, the father of Harmony Montgomery, a missing New Hampshire girl who would now be seven-year-old, is in jail on assault charges related to Harmony. According to recently published reports, Montgomery has a long criminal history that started when he was 16 and lived on Donald Street in Bedford, New Hampshire. Records from New Hampshire and Massachusetts date back to 2006, before Harmony's birth. When he was 16 and living on Donald Street in Bedford, he reportedly brought a weapon to a Manchester school and was charged with felony possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds. Manchester police are urging anyone with information about Harmony’s current whereabouts to call or text the dedicated tipline at 603-203-6060. A reward of nearly $100,000 is being offered for information that leads to finding the missing girl. You can read the full story here: (Patch)

  2. You have a chance to win Super Bowl Tickets by donating blood. The American Red Cross supply is critically low and they are asking people to "strongly consider" donating life-saving blood in the new year. Officials said that blood is in especially short supply due to the pandemic. If you donate blood, the American Red Cross is offering a chance to win tickets to the Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles, California, and a home theater package. The trip includes round-trip airfare, entry to the official NFL tailgate event, a three-night hotel stay, plus a $500 gift card for other expenses. You can donate blood in Bedford on Jan. 12 between 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church on 4 Church Road. You can read more here: (Bedford Patch)

  3. The Animal Rescue League in Bedford, and other New Hampshire shelters, try to find loving homes for rescue dogs (and other pets). This rescue story is about a greyhound terrier cross-breed rescue dog named Billy. His owner, Russell, had to take him to the vet when Billy developed a dramatic limp. After spending $400 on tests, the vet determined that the only thing wrong with the dog was his great "sympathy" and love for his owner. Billy was mimicking his owner, who was limping on crutches from a foot injury. It seems that when the pup saw his dad's “paw” was hurting, he also started feeling sympathy pain.
