Montgomery appeared as Detective Carrie Wells in the American police procedural crime drama television series Unforgettable. Carrie Wells is an enigmatic former Syracuse police detective with hyperthymesia, a rare medical condition that allows her to visually remember everything she has seen or heard. Her expertise is extremely beneficial to the investigations that she and her team are conducting. She has wanted to be a cop since the death of her sister when she was eight years old. She graduated from South Syracuse Prep in 1993, and her nickname in high school was “Scary Carrie.” Carrie worked for the Syracuse Police Department from 1997 to 2002 (she became a detective in 1999), but after her sister’s murder investigation was closed, she wanted a new start and relocated to New York City.
Carrie has attempted to put her past behind her, but in the pilot, she joins the New York City Police Department’s 117th Precinct in Queens when her former lover and detective partner, Detective Al Burns, asks for her assistance in solving a case. The move allows her to pursue the one thing she has been unable to recall: the man responsible for her sister’s murder. She and Al are transferred to the Major Crimes Section in season two. Carrie is nominated for the NYPD Medal of Valor by Eliot Delson in “Past Tense” (season 2, episode 5) for talking down and apprehending an Afghanistan War veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Carrie is mentioned in “Blast from the Past” (season 4, episode 1) as having an unprecedented 100% case closure rating due to her hyperthymesia. In the same episode, it is revealed that after leaving Syracuse, she moved to Daytona Beach, Florida, where she married Eddie Martin (Skeet Ulrich), a Daytona Beach police officer, from whom she never officially divorced until now.
