Sam Richards was a bank robber who appeared in "Cops and Robbers". His father owned a diamond-cutting business that had been in the family for at least three generations, but the rise in business of other companies with more expensive equipment forced his father to take out a loan with Moore's Bank, using the most valuable diamond he possessed as collateral. When the loan expired and he still couldn't pay, Richards' father, unable to face the shame of letting his family down, shot himself in the head, Richards witnessing it as he came home.
