S.2 Ep. 13: FBI Miami Shootout

Welcome to 1986 Miami, grab a drink, a Cuban (the sandwich don’t be weird) and a heaping tablespoon of cocaine! This week we’re talking about the most lethal single day in FBI history when a team of Special Agents ran up against two ultraviolet bank robbers named Michael Lee Platt and William Russell Matix. They started off small; robbing grocery stores and drug dealers before moving up to being two of the most vicious bank and armored car heistmen in the city. After months of trying to track these guys down the FBI team finally makes contact with them and things go from bad to officer down VERY quickly. It’s a wild story with one of the craziest endings you could never imagine. Enjoy!
