Thank you. :)
Crazy that princess Diana was at his funeral and a little over a month later was her own funeral. Life is crazy.
🎯😖😖😖
LIFE IS PERFECT. PEOPLE ARE CRAZY.
Elton John lost his only two friends😭
And I got to meet Lady Diana when she visited Sarajevo during the siege.
@@Saavik256 oh wow what a memory for you!
“a 6 going down to a 4”! damn Nicole is brutal 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Right, that was cold 😂😂
We need her on Untucked stat!
What does it mean,clothing size 6 going to size 4?
Yeah. I also felt this is so superficial and judgemental. Who can stay sane in such a mental environment...
Every time I get the 48 hours binge watch zoomies I end up glad my life is boring and comfortable, thank God. I love my mundane little life. ❤
For me, it is sad that this is the first time I'm hearing of these other men who were murdered. I thought that Versace's death was a stand-alone until this video. I doubt I'm the only one. How did the families and friends of these men, who were not "icons", feel about having Versace's death completely eclipse the loss and pain that THEY felt? Their lives meant just as much as a fashion designer's. 😞
After reading about Cunanan's life, the victim who stuck with me and who I think about the most is David Madson followed by Jeffrey Trail. Versace knew nothing and died instantly but the terror experienced by David who (after having seen Jeffrey's body) was kidnapped for a couple of days while he tried to talk himself out of it was far worse. It makes me so sad whenever I think about him and how warmly his friends and colleagues spoke of him. Same for Jeffrey who was trying to escape from Cunanan and seemed like a very decent man. Until I saw this video I had almost forgotten that it ended with Versace.
Even a bird was murdered smh
At the time of the incident there was very wide spread media it was a spree killing I’m sure over time only mentioning Versace is why those hadn’t heard of it is why they didn’t realize many victims were involved
I don’t think their deaths were eclipsed, if anything their deaths were brought heavily to the light because of versace. And most importantly because it was a shooting spree.
Naa . I saw at another channel a documentary about the killer all the victims! This documentary is about Versaci not his killer ! Don’t get it wrong
Michael Williams (the first victim's best friend) seems like a very kind and warm person. I feel sorry that he's still in pain after all these years.
I found it weird that she was smiling while telling the story though.
@@scarletbelmont9022 You're thinking of the wrong person, the comment references one of the main story tellers and says 'he'. But I know who you're talking about and it was odd but some people are just a bit eccentric; I don't think it's an actual reflection of her moral character.
I hate the fact that Andrew committed suicide and left so many unanswered questions.
I think that it was the case of a jilted lover
so sad that versace had no sg? to protect him
Sadly, it's typical behavior from a total coward. He knows he wouldn't make it out live in jail....
i dont believe he did it, something dont fit
\
@@user-vj6pw9my8xso he just snapped and killed all across the country bc of it?
As awful as this crime is I cant help but to also feel sad about the poor bird that was killed by the stray fragments. 😢
I feel you, that was my thought as well. RIP to that pigeon, collateral damage!
@@letspartyallthetimeI hope pigeon wasn’t gay
Especially because birds are better than humans. This was proved by extremely intelligent individuals in history. Leonardo Da Vinci bought caged birds on the market with the only intention to set them free and Nikola Tesla spent thounsands of dollars healing injured pigeons.
@@Vertikala-pc5ig 🤣🤣
I was 10 when this happened and can remember that we were all glued to the news for updates on the case. Tragically, Princess Di was killed a few months later 😢 The 90s had some big true crime stories; OJ, the Menendez bros, Gianni V., Princess Di etc.😢😢😢
Oh rubbish! Every decade has it’s spree killings.
I was in Miami. I heard the helicopters looking for the suspect. It was crazy.
@@schawnettarobinson8584But no one saw helicopters searching Tupac or Biggie’s murderers,strange huh 🤔
@@Wooooohoooo940 Okay: I wasn’t in Las Vegas and/ or LA. I didn’t hear anything about helicopters searching. It is what it is.
Selena 😢
Oh my goodness!!! Princess Diana was present at his funeral 😱😱😱. She died barely a month later ☹️☹️☹️☹️
I know! Bad year! I cried a lot as I lived in Miami 😢😢😢😢😭😭
Both were murdered too. That was no “accident” for her.
RIP Princess Diane! What a woman they don't make them like that anymore. She was the closest thing to an angel we had on this god forsaken floating globe 😔
Earth is FLAT!!
@@brianwebber6996_ROADHUNTERYeah, that conspiracy has been going around the globe. 😅
I feel so bad for all 5 men who were murdered 😢 I don't care if you famous or just a caretaker, it's a tragedy. RIP
There is no piece if you die without Jesus Christ as your savior! No church can open the gates of heaven! Only the BLOOD OF JESUS WHO DIED FOR YOU ON THE CROSS!
@@lindaholtzhausen1539 *PEACE
you *are / you're* famous
Thank you for these programs. Much appreciated.
May all of the victim’s families, friends and communities find peace some where, somehow, eventually. I am so sorry for all of you.
I love these episodes.
Same, I LOVE true crimes😍
Tim Gunn exudes style, sophistication and class. Seeing him just makes me smile!
and gayosity.
@@papagen00-Jealous much?
@@papagen00I’d like to think that you mean happy when you said that, though I believe you mean otherwise.
@@papagen00 and? What exactly is your point? 🙄
@@papagen00that's obvious
He shot Versace because he was an important person whose death would always be associated with him. This way he would get the attention of the whole world forever. The killer of John Lennon may have had the same motif.
Maybe AC admired Versace, and wasn't noticed by him or he was or felt rejected by him. And at that point AC knew there was no way out and so he wanted to have a grand exit. Narcissists need the feeling of importance and he would confirm his grandiosity to himself before killing himself and escaping the grasp and control of others/the state.
Great insights.
@@Verawnique 💖
I've been on a serious binge of these 48hrs shows recently ... can stop anytime if i wanted to tho :nervous chuckle:
They are all on Paramount+ if you really wanna binge. ☺️
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never miss an episode
Every Tuesday and Friday we meet again. 😂
same!
I don’t know where I was but I didn’t even know Versace had been killed let alone the large task force to find the killer.
Poor men may they rest in peace.
Same here
Me either
“Were you calm?” “No you idiot! My friend was shot and I was chasing his killer!”……PRICELESS!!!!
I love how that pudgy little guy is talking about how Andrew went from a 6 to a 4, when he's sitting there looking like a 2! 🤣
This case was nuts, Andrew was a piece of work, read his biography..he was, just cold and calculated!!
True..
Seems like those two qualities were all there was behind all that creepy flamboyant facade...
Throw in hateful and jealous and there you have it. He even hated himself.
Calculating for sure!
The perfect assassin 👌
he had all the classic Narcissist tell tale signs
When someone who looks like that 18:51 is calling you ugly something ain’t right 😂
Right
The Audacity!
That's how all older gay men act😂
i meannn was he wrong though? lol
My thoughts exactly!!!! Nicole need to look in the mirror too 🤣
Julie made me uncomfortable, she seems to laugh while talking about the murders, geezzz
This story is so sad from every single angle. 😢
Thank you for the work and effort you put into every single episode.Keep it up. Greetings from Germany 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Versace worked hard to be somebody, and then he was killed because he was somebody. Tragic.
I’ve read and watched a lot about this case years prior but I’m glad they focused on just the important points, and shone spotlight on the first 4 victims.
Such a waste, all those victims. There was no reason, only a evil and sick mind.
@@user-vj6pw9my8x wake up. the reason is hes a classic Narcissist.
The 90s were wild, princess Diana, JFK jr, Versace all killed, and of course the OJ Simpson fiasco
Wild times
And most importantly, other reasons too !! That's a nod to the 90s more than a knock of the examples you provided FWIW 👍🙂
@@michaelcoletta4547 Sure okay
Richard Schlesinger, the best host of 48 Hours.
A fascinating topic. Glad to see this show is available.
"Were you calm or-"
"No a friend of mine was just shot."
Yeah he didn't appreciate that question I think
To be fair that question was dumb.
"The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us"
What????
Wow, has it been 20 years already?!
I remember this case so well because I lived in Chicago, where Lee Miglin was a prominent Gold Coast resident.
Um, 27 years this year...
I live 15 minutes away from where Mr Reese was killed. I know that park very well , and you have to have the intention to go find that place. It is not easily accessible except for locals who know. It was so so scary that the murderer was creeping around out here in our rural little town. The cemetery there is beautiful and very historic.
RIP Mr Reese. 💐💔
Andrew Cunanan's mother lived in the small town that I grew up in - in low-income housing - and he went to visit her shortly before he murdered Versace.
he must have known someone buried there
Thank you 48 Hrs
This needs to be an hbo doc, this case is so complicated and so so many unanswered questions!
What a shallow world of silly, envious men using and abusing each other. The way they talk about each other shows there is not even any real friendship here. How can anyone be surprised when it ends in violence?
My thoughts exactly
This.
Yes - very well stated.
Most of the men in that community are like that. Why you are surprised is beyond me.
The only one that was shallow and abusive was the killer Andrew. The rest seemed like good guys.
I remember the day the news broke in Italy, it was like a big storm that summer afternoon. All TV programs interrupted, all journalists ran in Rome where Trinità dei Monti fashion shows took place few hours later. Cancelled, supermodels crying in disbelief. The interview of Naomi in tears was everywhere. Then the Funeral in Duomo in Milano, with all the stars, fashion designers, supermodels and thousands of fans. Lady Diana supporting Elton John, sad to know that a month later she would lose her life in Paris. Horrible 97 summer ! RIP Gianni.
Btw some reporters live in Miami said that the dead bird was left there by the killer. A mafia signature posed close to a killed victim. Speculations about links between the Versace family and the Calabrian mafia, for money laundering. Only reporters suppositions.
*lose. One O.
I remember that day. It was heartbreaking. Everyone who knew him said he was such an amazing soul. 😢
Omg Tim Gunn!!! I haven’t heard that voice in years. Project runway was such a fun show for a while, for me. Jeffrey was probably my most favorite designer and I still want that plaid yellow dress he designed! I loved watching that show and how classy Tim Gunn has always been.
40:00 Losing someone who you love more than the air you breathe, someone who you would literally, physically step in front of a bullet for, do anything for them to have nothing but happiness including die for...the loss of them never leaves you and never gets easier when you think about them!😢
Aside the horrible murders and lives lost, which is very sad. I have to comment: Versace was a genious. His creations work of art.
He was an overrated seamstress
Don't know about his work but man you should see his house! Absolutely breathtaking. Everything over the top. The are the weirdest you ll ever see. Just duck a piece of History where princess Diana, Madonna and more stayed.
What a scary time that was. I was living in southern Florida at the time of Gianni Versace’s death.
The manhunt was scary. Our yard was on the intercostal waterway on a culdusac with only two homes on the culdusac. Our yard & our neighbors yard had mature foliage in and each yard was almost an acre big. I had to run across our courtyard to our guest cottage where my ex’s elderly dad lived. I had to check in on him 2 to 3 times a night. I remember feeling very scared doing these night checks; wondering if Andrew might have been hiding on our, or our neighbors property. It was such a relief when they found Andrew . What a horrible time that was for all of Southern Florida.
The woman smiling and almost laughing through the interview is very disturbing. Your friend dies and in recollecting it you're smiling and almost laughing? That's strange.
Exactly! Very disturbing and uncomfortable
Some people smile when they feel nervous. It's not a conscious decision, their body reacts this way. It's hard to control.
Versace’s Miami residence is my dream home! RIP Gianni…❤❤
It was a gorgeous home. I believe converted from a luxury hotel?
I think it's a restaurant now called Giovannis on Miami Beach
“Versace put Miami in the international spotlight” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Miami has been Miami long before Versace
Before Versace Miami was known for the Mariel boatlift, the cocaine wars and the most corrupt police department in the country even before that title went to New Orleans. There were international travel warnings about traveling to Miami so if that's what you mean by spotlight then yeah. However Versace began to change that image.
Not really
Who would have thought watching that funeral that Princess Diana would be gone just a month and a half later.
Murdered
22:53 Julie smiling while giving the interview is so strange, she is not talking about a good memory... 😳
I also found her smiling strange.
The bird! 😢
I know, right? 🥺
The bird was in the wrong place at the wrong time just like that poor man in New Jersey.
Ironically, Princess Diana died August of that same year 🕊🤍🕊🤍
So sad.
A spiteful rent boy who went berserk.
It's odd Tim Gunn found out by way of computer, but he does seem like someone you need to give yourself a peptalk before calling. 😂
Davids' female friend with short hair was THOROUGHLY ANNOYING.
And crazy looking too! 🤣😂
am i the only one who hears johnny versace every time he says his name?
I remember when this was going on. So scary because you didn't know where he might pop up!
I lived in Miami at the time of these events. Crazy time!
This has been covered so many times it’s now in the Earth’s mantle
This was so sad. I lived there at that time and it was horrible 😞
Where?
@@ca8944 south beach
@@ricangirl02 👍🏽
That must have been terrifying
@@ca8944 yes indeed
I also lived in Miami during this time. This was an insane time!
It's nice & i am glad to know that he is man enough to have sent that meassage that truly means a lot. For him to just say, i'm sorry is powerful. It is healing by itself. What a way to end the story that makes it remarkable.
So sorry for all those victims 😢💔
I remember the day of the funeral. I went in Duomo square, outside the Cathedral and I saw Donatella and her daughter in tears. So sad with all celebrities in black dress with the sadness faces that I ever seen. All my hometown (Milan)in black. Never forget that day 😢 Gianni forever in our heart and memories ❤
…and two years earlier in Milan they killed Gucci!
That killing spree started about three blocks away from where I’m sitting typing this. (North Loop of Minneapolis) 💔
That is such a sad story - those poor 5 men (and the only one I had remembered was Versace). I don't know how we stop this as mothers - it sounds like the killer because he was at a very exclusive school and was very very bright and then the father was fraudulent and ran off the boy lost a father, lost his better off life because of his father's criminality, lost his stability (even then that does not make most people killers). He was bright enough to have a good career and not live off an older man.
I lived in Miami at the time. Those days were wild; not knowing where Cunaanen would pop up during the manhant.
I've been under a rock. I didn't even know that Versace was murdered. But after looking up some stuff, Andrew seems to have been a envious lunatic. Also, those friends smell fish, doubt they even were friends.
I didn't know either
Shallow Narscissts. He wasn't a good looking young guy anymore so he felt like he had nothing to live for. It must have been a prize to him to take out someone who was loved all over the world.
yeah feel like most of these murderers on these shows are narcissists. But this guy is DEFINITELY a narcissist. All the tell tale signs present here.
@@derekw1267 there's definitely more Narscissts than statistics claim. Most people are only interested in themselves, their needs, time and space and have no regard or ability to consider anyone else. Most relationships are purely transactional.
that bird thing is weird
No it's spiritual.
The real crime is the prices they charge
According to the documentary I watched before, Andrew Cunanan's parents did everything to make his life better and make sure he could study in a good school. I think that instead of valuing it, Cunanan felt envy every time he saw something he didn't have. Cunanan grew up with envy & evil heart.
It sad that someone with Filipino blood can do this crime.
I just hope that Cunanan was captured alive and suffer a lifetime punishment in jail.
RIP to all the victims, my heart is broken specially to victim number 4 Mr. William Reese.
Mr. Versace died to stop this killing madness. He (Versace) will always be an icon.
Cunanan committed suicide and was never brought to justice!
And then he watched his father commit fraud and leave the country to evade justice. Not the best role model I would say.
Don't forget the innocent bird who also died.
@@mernokallat645
That's absurd
@@jimwerther How is that absord? Animals are more important than humans.
Gianni was my favorite designer when I was a kid. I couldn't get enough of his designs back in the 90s.
When he was murdered, I felt such a loss. SMH. All the Goats were just being killed left and right, in those late 90s to early 00s.
SMFH.
You could afford Versace as a kid?
@@IngramPetersJr-nr7rm Who said he owned it? Maybe he just admired his designs in Vogue.
@@christinap-c
* she
Princess Diana doesn't know that shell be gone soon too😢
RIP Versace 🕊🤍🕊
NO JESUS NO PICE! KNOW JESUS KNOW PICE! ONLY HIS BLOOD CAN SET YOU FREE FROM HELL!
Hello from the future! It’s called a sugar daddy
These people are so full of themselves its crazy lol
Lets see a man who was spoiled by his wealthy lovers and they stopped supporting him due to he isnt that young and good-looking anymore, He struggled and hated all of his said lovers.
and it seems they only take it very very seriously after Versace was shot.
I worked in Hillcrest for many years. I came across quite a few people who knew Andrew Cunanan
Same. My friend knew one of the victims.
Small gay neighborhood/community. I’m sure most who lived there knew him or the victims or knew someone who did.
@ca8944 Well, 30 blocks is kind of big for a neighborhood, but I think I know what you mean. You do tend to come across some of the same people, especially if you're plugged into the nightlife scene. When you're a bouncer, everyone vents to you because they know you can't go anywhere.
VANITY: You probably just wanted to be known as a person. That took down Versace. Then you decide your mind would take down everybody else too. Because he KNEW he was going down. OR, It could be that he Met and tried to flirt with him. Bursa she didn't go for it so he felt rejected and decided to take action.
"The webs we weave to deceive!" Is what comes to mind with all of these men. They all had so many horrible secrets in their lives!
Cunanan did. The rest were innocent victims.
Hope everyone is able to relax for awhile together watching this episode
Andrew’s mom and my mom were close friends. I wrote about it in, “Was Andrew Nice To You?” San Diego Reader.
Seeing Princess Di there and to know she would be gone later that year too 😭
The police could have caught him if they went to the pawn shop to get that form he filled in with his address in.
That part still upsets me, Versace wouldn't have been a victim 😢
I remember this in the news. The early morning I woke for work.
The innocent dead bird.
Symbolic, ain't it?
"He took her from trashy to sophisticated."
No, he didn't. Courtney Love will always be trashy.
Absolutely always trashy…😊
he took her to the bank ...🤣
It’s a guy
1:15 Finally someone who pronounces his name correctly...it's Versace not Versachee
Only in a video like this, would witnesses be judging people on looks and what they wore as an indication of value to society. Gross.
Tupac loved wearing Versace. R.I.P Versace and Tupac
Versace was a GORGEOUS man !!
"there is something inherently sexy in a versace design"
yeah, the world's most beautiful runway models, duh!
He had to be stalking him,because how did he know his schedule?He also had such outstanding Friends& Very succesdful,classy Men.
He put MIAMI on the MAP? Huh lol
“…I opened up my computer…”? The internet was brand new at that time 😂😂😂😂😂
The internet was made available to the public in 1993. I was introduced to this "new" technology in college in 1994. By 1997 it was becoming a fairly widespread thing. Besides, he didn't say it was an internet story. He said it flashed before him. It could have been email.
The internet was there. It wasn’t that new in summer 97.
Yeah that's what people used to say back then. It's so funny. 😂
@@bethcook1521
The internet was available to the public in the early 1980s.
Whens the documentary about the bird coming out?
That woman’s fake vocal fry is so annoying.
"Oh my god, why can't i catch him" Because he mad be a psycho but he's smart.
Sure did have something extra special that made him stand out. So many who head down that path have been in some form of abuse. so sad from the very beginning of his choices to the final ones.
I remember when this went down, who else? Two birds with one shot?! Hadn't heard this part of the story before.
What a terrible waste that such a talented and popular man should murdered like this ,,,,,,just like john lennon , Gianni Versace has left his mark with the beautiful clothes he created and he will never be forgotten ,,,,,,,,PS Tim Gunns pin strip suit at the start is Awsum,,,,,,, DW NORFOLK U.K.
Did the public know where Versace lived? If not, Cunannan must have known him minimally.
My family and I were on a trip to Washington D.C. when Cunanan killed himself. While we were touring a federal building (forget which), our guide pointed out someone changing an "FBI'S Most Wanted" poster. He said something like, "In light of recent events, a new spot on the list has just opened up..."
Watching the coverage of Cunanan drove my mom crazy, because no one reporting the news seemed to agree on how to pronounce his last name. Coo-NAN-an, Coo-NAHN-an, COO-na-nan...
I was eleven. I know this will sound really dumb, but the Andrew Cunanan coverage was the first time I realized that Asian people could be gay. I guess in my mind, people could belong to only one minority category at a time
