Upon graduation Montgomery was hired by the Nevada State Journal, but left the Journal two years later to pursue work in other media. He returned to journalism in 1938, joining the Reno Evening Gazette, where he first worked as an editor. Montgomery served in the Marine Corps during World War II (1942–45).

He found the body of Stephanie Bryan in May 1955, after being tipped by the real killer, Edward Wayne Edwards, who posed as automobile salesman LeRoy Myers.[3]Burton Abbott was later sentenced to death for her murder. That same year, Montgomery reported on Barbara Graham's execution. His coverage of the Graham case was adapted into the film I Want to Live! (1958).[4]
