Sam Winfield is a retired Albany cop and the main suspect in the murders of Thomas Marchek and Craig Moss. He was cleared of the murders, but he confessed to shooting through a window at James Campbell to scare him into taking shelter so the real killer, Louise Durning, wouldn't get him as well. Winfield witnessed her fleeing the scene and was crucial to tracking her.

Stabler bonded with him in interrogation and Winfield revealed one case, violent rapist Alan Cryter, that haunted him for years and left Winfield in early retirement after he shot Cryter dead. It's unknown if Winfield was ever charged with conspiracy and assault. (SVU: "Victims")
