Monty Moran was Rita Flynn's agent. He discovered her in the drugstore she worked at, along with her best friend, Betty Sue Baker. Betty ended up being Monty's assistant at the studio. Monty had big plans for his magazine to go national. Monty's statement wasn't taken after Rita's murder in 1953. In the first questioning, Monty claimed to not own a gun and though Rita was killed by a pervert. Monty was the one who informed detectives about Ben "Beanie" Emerson, Rita's fan that took things too far and stalked her. Beanie followed them everywhere and Monty laughed off Ben being a suspect. He chalked up Ben's behavior to teenage hijinks at the time, but Detective Rush corrects him with the appropriate term of stalking.
