Background
Cody and his wife Evelyn were the adoptive parents of Sam Morgan. After having their son Danny, they decided that they wanted another child. However, they didn't want to risk having another child naturally after Danny was born with the Fragile X gene, which caused a mental handicap. Cody and Evelyn could not afford to provide for two children with a mental handicap, so they decided to adopt instead of having another child naturally.

After making the decision to adopt, Cody knew they would never be approved. So instead, he went out and bought a baby. They soon brought home a newborn baby girl whom they named Samantha. When Sam was around three years old, Cody and Evelyn began having problems in their marriage. Evelyn no longer wanted to deal with Cody's coning and drifting ways, so she left him taking only Danny with her. Cody was left to raise a three year old Sam all by himself.

As a result Sam did not have a very stable upbringing. Cody and Sam moved from place to place and he took her on several of his cons. He taught Sam how to salvage and run cons. When Sam was 17, Cody told her about Evelyn and Danny and she left to go find her brother.
