Andrew Cunanan

Andrew Cunanan was born August 31, 1969. Although Cunanan had a mother, he was primarily raised by his father was a marine.  Cunanan attended a private school in San Diego where he showed his gay attention-seeking behaviors.  He was very open about his sexuality a deemed by classmates to never be forgotten.  His father was accused of fraud, this made his father flee to the Philippines.  Andrew soon joined him but realized that it was not the place for him; so he moved back to San Francisco where they were more open to homosexuality. This is where it is said that he met Gianni Versace which would eventually lead to the the death of both of them.  He also met his lover David Madison, and the man who had an affair with Jeffery Trail.  Cunanan became involved heavily in drugs becoming less interested in his own self appearance.

Jealousy soon took over Cunanan's life.  His lover, David Madison, moved to Minneapolis; when Cunanan visited Madison he realized that his other former lover Trail also lived there.  Cunanan formulated the assumption that they were having an affair.  He invited Trail to Madison's apartment where a heated argument broke out leading to Cunanan brutally beating and killing Trail.  This forced Andrew and madison to flee the city. A few hours away Madison's body was found, he was killed by a 40. caliber handgun. The next stop along the homicidal route was a 72 yr. old man who had no relation with Cunanan but was vary wealthy.  Many believe he was just murdered to allow Andrew to get money and a new vehicle. The final murder was the one that sent his media ratings through the roof. This is what he always wanted to be known and famous. He moved down to miami,Fl leaving in a beach front kinda run down hotel.  A few miles away lived a famous fashion designer Gianni Versace, no one truly knows the motive behind Cunanan but especially this murder. As the designer Versace was returning home Cunanan walked up behind him and shot him twice in the head. This was the final murder of Andrew Cunanan before he was on a house boat surrounded by s.w.a.t. Before the s.w.a.t could reach Cunanan he had turned the gun on himself.

The motive behind Cunanan's killings will never be determined.  Was there even a true reason or was this an irate killing spree that took 4 random peoples lives.  He was said to be smart and clean-cut.  He was never said to be made fun of despite his sexuality. He also used drugs heavily, so was this the aftermath of a drug usage.  The truth will never be known.
