Biography[]
Matt and Judith were on a stakeout near the Arcadia Toys warehouse. While waiting for their contacts to meet up with them, they discussed their personal lives. Judith brought up the subject of marriage, but Matt felt it seemed more fitting to wait until they had children. Judith told him that she had just found out that she was pregnant. Matt was elated.
Before they could discuss the subject further, their contacts arrived: Lincoln and Hesse. They began negotiating a deal for the purchase of weapons out of the back of Lincoln's car. When Lincoln named his price, Matt pulled his gun on him, revealing that he was a cop. The criminals tried to disarm him, and Matt shot Hesse in the leg. Lincoln returned fire, shooting Matt in the chest, killing him.
