Samuel King was the Chief Police Officer of the Grimsborough Police Department. He was seen for the first time in The Death of Rosa Wolf (Case #1). In It All Ends Here (Case #51), on the Election day, Samuel murdered Adam Bentley by shooting Adam with his handgun between his eyes at the Red Party's offices.

Profile
Samuel was a 75 year old man who had grey hair combed over to the right side. He had light blue eyes and a thick moustache above his lips. He used to wear a white shirt with a black tie underneath a black police-chief suit. The suit contained five stars on both the shoulders, and consisted of GPD's logo on the sleeves. Samuel was 6 feet and 1 inch tall, he weighed 180 lbs, and his blood type was A+.

In It All Ends Here, Samuel wore an "I VOTED" badge on the right side of his suit. It was discovered that he could handle guns and that he was right-handed.

Personal Life
Not much was known about the personal life of Samuel. It was just known that Samuel used to be friends with Sheila MacCarthy before she made her breakthrough and became an actress.

In Marked for Death (Case #39), it was revealed that Cathy King, who is originally known as the @rtist, is his granddaughter.

In Blood and Glory (Case #42), it was discovered that Samuel played tennis.

Role in Case(s)
In It All Ends Here, Samuel was surprisingly called into the investigation for the first time. He was arrested after all the evidences proved that he was the murderer of Adam Bentley.

Jones was in shock when the evidences of Adam's murder pointed towards Samuel, but Samuel admitted to Jones and the player that he killed Adam, and thus decided to commit suicide probably because he felt guilty for his actions and to avoid his jail sentence. Samuel wept, but Jones pleaded with him to put the gun away, and instead to explain why he killed Adam before the judge in court. Samuel told the player that the team must find out the reasons on their own, and after saying his last words, he shot himself to death. Thus, Samuel's motives to kill Adam remains a mystery.

After the Additional Investigation of this case, the player gets promoted to the sixth and final district of Grimsborough - Airport.

At the Airport district, after the death of Chief King, in A Brave New World (Case #52), it was revealed from Herman Cavendish that the King family were from a Pilgrim family called Kingsley, but their family name changed to King after those centuries.

Chief King also appears and gives you a message after you level up, but he will be replaced by Jones after you finish the third chapter of Case #51. As for all, since he committed suicide, his final appearance is in It All Ends Here. He was also mentioned many times in A Brave New World (Case #52) after his death took place.
