Andrew Cunanan

Andrew Phillip Cunanan (August 31, 1969 – July 23, 1997) was an American spree killer who murdered five people over three months from April 27 to July 15, 1997. His victims include Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace and Chicago real estate developer Lee Miglin, as well as his former boyfriend David Madson and friend Jeffrey Trail. Cunanan killed himself on July 23, 1997, eight days after murdering Versace. Cunanan's status as a serial killer versus a spree killer has been disputed, as multiple sources, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, list him as a serial killer.
