Role in Case(s)
Mary Lou was a groupie of a band named Lone Roses in which the victim, Olly Oliver was the lead singer. According to her, she was a big fan of Olly and he was her idol.

Before the police shockingly revealed that Mary Lou killed Olly, it was discovered that Mary Lou is a music major at the Grimsborough University. She often has to study inside the diner because her father's pest control business suffered tremendously and her father had to use the house's garage to store all pesticides, causing discomfort in the house. Her father apparently did business with the diner Irma was working for, but at the expense of poor customer service.

Olly had promised Mary Lou, who kept herself as his secret admirer, that he would leave the Lone Roses and that they would form a musical band as a duo. Mary Lou had also written a few songs for the duo, but then one day, when she revealed herself as Olly's secret admirer, the victim rejected and mocked her. Olly then stole her song and performed it on stage with the Lone Roses. Mary Lou couldn't bear it and poisoned her former idol with strychnine and stuffed him inside the band's drum after the concert ended. After killing Olly, Mary Lou photographed the victim's dead body and kept the photo with herself so that she could always remember what she did.
