This episode was about the armed shootout between armed robbers and murderers, William Matix and Michael Platt and the agents of the FBI Miami Branch Office that occurred in the area of Pinecrest, Florida on the morning of the 11th April 1986. Prior to the shootout, both Matix and Platt were responsible for six violent armed robberies and two murders that occurred throughout Southern Florida between the 5th October 1985 and the 19th March 1986. The shootout resulted in both Matix and Platt shot and killed, along with two FBI agents, Special Agent Jerry Dove and Special Agent Ben Grogan with five other FBI agents injured. A later investigation revealed both Matix and Platt had met while serving in the US Army at Fort Campbell, Kentucky during the 1970s. Matix served in the US Marine Corps as a cook from 1969 to 1972, stationed first in Hawaii from April 1970 to March 1971 and then in Japan from April 1971 to March 1972, he was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant on the 7th July 1972.

On the 30th December 1983, Matix's first wife, former US Army Specialist, Patricia Mary Buchanich and her co-worker, Joyce McFadden were found stabbed to death in the laboratory of the Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio where they worked as cancer researchers. Investigation in Buchanich and McFadden's murders revealed that they were both bounded and gagged before having their throats slashed, at the time of the murders, Matix was considered as a suspect but wasn't charged due to a lack of evidence.
