MIAMI SHOOTOUT Ep. 1 | “Who are these guys?”
About this episode
The episode discusses the armed robberies committed by Michael Platt and Bill Matix in South Miami during October 1985.
In October of 1985, two armed robbers, Michael Platt and Bill Matix, begin targeting banks and armored cars in broad daylight in South Miami. They wear masks and army fatigues, and they have no problem opening fire in public places. Platt and Matix aren’t the most successful robbers in criminal history, but they have no fear, and they leave behind no clues for investigators. Thanks to our sponsor, Quince!
