Sam Vale

Sam Vale was one of the suspects during the murder investigation of a professional surfer named Darren Thomas in Forbidden Depths (Case #1).

Profile
Sam was a 36-year old man with black hair and brown eyes. He wore a purple shirt with a checkered pattern on it. Sam is known to be in contact with beeswax and eat hot dogs.

Role in Case(s)
Sam was the owner of a boat shop.

At the end of Chapter 1, someone called Michael Collins because they think that they can solve Darren Thomas's murder. The team goes to the boat shop and meets the owner. Sam reveals that he's the one who made the call. Sam claimed to have seen a mysterious figure use one of the boats but he didn't know since the person who purchased it, must have bought a warranty. The figure was carrying a cooler when they left. As Sam was about to reveal what happened when the figure came back, he realized that he forgot to clean his counter using beeswax. When he discovers that he's all out of beeswax, he told the team that he has to go buy some, then he leaves.

When the team investigates the shop's counter, Sam was back and offered the team a hot dog. He was ready to explain the rest of the story. He saw the figure run away when the body washed up on the shore of Serene Beach and snapped a picture of the figure. Unfortunately, Sam's camera was old and broken which meant that the picture was going to be blurry. Sam imported the picture to a memory card and gave it to the team. Douglas analyzes the memory card and manages to identify that the killer has a bite mark on their skin when they were fleeing the beach.

At the end of the investigation, Sam was proven innocent when Jennifer Green was found guilty of the grand homicide.
