Criminal Profile:
- Andrew Cunanan
- Born August 31, 1969
- Died July 23, 1997
- Ranked 449th, FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Andrew Cunanan was a 28 year old male from Rancho Bernardo who was described by his friends as intelligent and charming. He liked to party and was a well-known figure in the LA and San Francisco gay scene. But little did his friends know that this charismatic socialite would end up being one of the world’s most notorious criminals.
Between April and July 1997 Cunanan went on a murderous rampage across the US. His victims were initially people he knew and loved. Cunanan’s first victim was long-time friend, Jeffrey Trail whilst the second was his lover David Madson. Both were found with gunshot wounds to the head. As Cunanan attempted to dispose of the bodies and escape the police who were on his tail, anyone in his way became a victim. Cunanan’s third victim was a well-known real estate developper, Lee Miglin and in order to dispose of the body, Cunanan killed his fourth victim, William Reese, stole his truck and managed to escape.
Cunanan’s final and most spoken about victim was Gianni Versace. Versace was returning from a walk down Ocean Drive that July morning when Cunanan pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and gunned down the Italian designer outside his Miami Beach mansion.
One week later, Cunanan’s own body was found in a house bout in Miami. He killed 5 innocent people before finally turning the gun on himself. Why did he do it? What were his motives?
Many people thought at the time that Cunanan’s killing spree was a form of revenge on past lovers who had potentially infected him with the HIV virus. Indeed, he was known to engage in sexual services for older men in exchange for money. However, the autopsy report shows that Cunanan was in fact HIV negative. Maybe he didn’t know this. Or maybe he did. I guess no one will ever really know why he did it.
