Sam Maloney, was born in Ewes Ville in 1915, the eldest son of Grace and Samuel Maloney. Grace was a homemaker and Samuel a carpenter. Sam has two siblings, Tom and Georgiana. Sam’s parents were strict disciplinarians, who believed in hard work and honesty. He was raised a Catholic and attended the local Primary School and High School, where he excelled in Chess and played an array of team sports. He had a passion for baseball and was selected to represent the County throughout his teenage years. Although he would have liked to pursue baseball as a career, a car accident when he was nineteen crushed his left hand, thus ending his dream.

Recovering from his car accident, Sam made a momentous decision when he agreed to chaperone his sister Georgiana to the Ewes Ville County Sheriff’s Dance. While there he struck up a conversation with former Senior Sergeant Peter Wickham, who convinced Sam that with his passion for strategy, work ethic and fitness, he would make a great Sheriff. Sam decided to follow the Sergeant’s advice enrolling in the Sheriff’s academy the next day. Sam was a popular teenager, and local legend has it that he dated many of the local beauties; however at the dance he also spotted Mary Best. Mary the daughter of a local farmer, was in his sister’s class and Georgiana introduced the soon to be couple. Sam often recalled that night as the luckiest in his life, because it was where he met his angel Mary and found his path.

After a short engagement, the couple married at Ewes Ville Catholic Church and bought a house with the help of Mary’s parents in Green Pastures Drive. While the couple appeared to be happy in the first few years of their marriage, they had some difficulties. The couple had trouble conceiving and Sam was known to be a heavy drinker often spending nights at Ram’s Bar. Mary appeared to be a dutiful wife, but Sam’s brother Tom believes that the match was not a good one, as Mary wasn’t Sam’s match intellectually or socially. However Sam excelled as a Sheriff, making several high profile arrests, including the infamous murderers the Fuller twins and the Mafia connected Dicheria gang. He was quickly promoted through the ranks to Senior Sergeant, and was well liked and respected by most of his subordinates.

Sam meet Emme Lou a waitress at Ram’s bar in 1950, and an affair started soon after. Initially the couple would only meet after work hours. Sam was observed by his colleagues in the last months of his life to become increasingly negligent of his duties, drinking heavily and often leaving work to visit with Emme Lou early in the day.

Sam had two case files open at the time of his death, both have been ruled out as being connected to his murder. Sam was 38 year old when he died. His wife Mary is currently six months pregnant with their first child and is a suspect in this case.
