Rivera's political life had as many twists and turns as the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl.

After the gun battle, FBI Director William Webster said of the suspects: "They were two particularly violent individuals who did not shoot out of excitement or fear...
Matix and Platt appeared to have no ties to the drug trade, organized crime or extremist paramilitary groups. What, then, motivated them? What did they do with all their stolen money? Were they somehow involved in the deaths of their wives? As Agents Grogan and Dove were laid to rest last week, the FBI struggled to tie together the loose ends in the twisted trail of the lawmen's killers...
