History[]
Sloane was once well-loved and called "everyone's all-American", being the homecoming queen in high school. She had a sister, Megan, who was Nick Vera's girlfriend in high school. Sloane was also a promising figure skater who almost competed in the 1980 Olympics.
At some point prior to 1995, Sloane married Seth and had two kids, Haley and Ryan. She was a dysfunctional alcoholic, which led to her and Seth getting divorced after Sloane got a DUI with their children in the car and her life to crumble. On her last day alive, Sloane left Haley and Ryan at a fast-food restaurant for five hours while she got drunk and then went to work. When confronted by a furious Seth, Sloane was forced to realize that she couldn't beat her addiction and allowed him to take custody of the kids.
Sloane worked as a waitress at Samson's Tavern. In truth, she was a confidential police informant who answered to Det. Julia Owens, in exchange for not going to prison for the DUI charge. She was tasked with keeping an eye on her boss, John Powell, who was dealing drugs and allowing dog fights to be conducted out of his bar. Sloane became attached to an injured dog named Ravage and begged Powell to let her keep him. He fired her but she gave him oral sex to persuade him to let her stay.
Afterwards, Sloane realized that she had hit rock bottom and decided to call Rick, an ex-alcoholic who she met earlier. They met in the parking lot where he tried to take advantage of her. Sloane thought he was low for taking advantage of a drunk who just sexually debased herself. Rick hit her on the head, causing her to collapse. After he left, she lost all coherence and just laid down in the snow to die. Ravage returned to Sloane's side and tried to rouse her, but failed.
Sloane's death was ruled an accident from her falling down while drunk until 2005, when a chance encounter Megan had with one of the frat boys who met her sister in the past got the case reopened. In the end, Rick was arrested and Powell was revealed to have adopted Ravage. Nick imagined seeing Sloane.
