As he was putting the key in the door lock and he was shot twice once in the face point. Blank range and the other one was behind the left ear in the neck, and that was it through shot. Noriega believes the gunman approached rosati from behind or from the side I believe he was shadowing him. It was a very strategically timed strategically placed attack to kill gianni versace The question was: who would want to kill him? one of the first motives that we felt was a possibility was it it was a contract, it organised crime mafia fuel, because there was a

It's done. so o toole believes coonan knew he had nothing to lose there's no way to undo what he's done now, absolutely no way so he's really box himself into a corner from a behavioral standpoint that,

some more dangerous, but then the two months there was no sign of connected until July. Fifteen nineteen, ninety seven, when he struck again this time was different because this time his victim was johnny researching when you're hurt he had done it again.

Was Noriega remembers that within hours hundreds of police officers piled on to miami beach with all but locked down the causeways any

he's in and out of the city, and I believe that created the bottleneck where he felt uncomfortable trying to leave the city, I'm starved with all the attention on this case every day brought a flood of tips. The tipps overcome and wherever overwhelming at times, especially since this was detective, centres, is first homicide, investing patient. Were you nervous at all? Of course, I was we already that he had killed the numerous people. I remember going too from locations knocking on doors always causes you're mine that and it can be in their armed and he can shoot through the door detective soon learned brunette and had been in miami beach. For about two months. He was hiding in plain sight exactly the police had me several opportunities to get him about a week before he killed your sgi canal in pond a gold coin stolen from lee mingling how the pawn shop,

it was him. He told them on the coin, about a week before the homicide and his own name uses only zoning what's more crude Evans name was on a form. The pawn shop was required to send to thee miami beach police department. It arrived five days before murder or we do not have an automated system at the time. It was just one of many forms and unfortunately nobody looked at it. Did you think Why didn't we know about this before johnny research? He was killed. That thought what, through my mind several times, because apparently he wasn't a beach for a period of time tonight enlisted his address as the normal. Plaza hotel. It was a dump you and I will stand that hotel he'd registered.

under his own name, was driving him nuts to know that this guy was walking around free. As a bird right, I mean just the fact that the sky was being looked for, speaks to the fact that he was able to blend in and change his appearance and successfully stay one step ahead. That way things might have turned out differently if police had a little more luck for days, forever. Sgi was killed. Someone at this sub shop recognised canadian the americas most wanted story. He called the police, but they arrive too late. That was disappointed. I was frustrated, it's just unfortunate that we didn't catch. what happened after researches murder, with cunette on the loose Scientists grew. Let me assure you that my me, beach and day county mar say I was afraid,

remember versus friend. Lazarev quintana had chased coon at it. So I tell the officer: go get him! Then there go get him he knew who I was, but I didn't know He was how to do this When you were out scared, cautious, over my shoulder. A lot literally absolutely army. I was yeah, I mean like a goose bumps on an absolutely Spain had a gun Man knew what he was doing longer coonan dodged police. The more intense the hunt piquet. I think the police we're getting anxious? Where could he be? What kind of resources did he have? Former prosecutor? Michael band? That's a lot of pressure. That's a lot of pressure alone for the whole world watching, but we do want anybody else dead. There was a sense

that maybe we lost him by some people. I just thought that he was hiding out. Then the chip came in. That would change everything I gotta call Michael I think we found them. the I heard over the police that there had been shot fired, that their surrounding houseboat. You think what we got up after nine day, manhunt miami beach, detective gus chaz believed Andrew coonan was finally cornered on a houseboat, just forty blocks from where he had shot down John ever,

and change has arrived. It was a stand on at this point, nobody's seen coronado other houseboat. Now, there's no confirmation. At this point the houseboats caretaker saw signs of a break in and when he went inside a shot was fired. Police quickly, surrounded the house, but they are communicating. By born. We have, after all our siege, the swat team, fired tear gas and went on board when it was safe. Press peter Michael band, followed them. It was a mess. It was just a mass in an upstairs bedroom They found a body. I just roll call an individual

lying on the bed. Looking up, he had a bullet wound in his head. There's a gun. Next to him. When you looked at that face, what did your gut tell you? My gut told me it's him, but that wasn't enough. I wanted his fingerprints as band waited an expert at the scene compared fingerprints from the corpse with coonan and he looks up and he says, hits him reign of terror brought upon us by andrew cunanan. is over. It turned out canal in shot himself with the same gun he used to kill geneva saki, william reese and David Madsen. It was the gun he had taken from his friend and first victim Jeff tree there is a sense of relief, but this was not the outcome. Michael Williams hoped for I didn't want him to do anything.

We go to jail and rot and His suicide left the world with a pile of questions. Was there any connection between gianni, versace and andrew cunanan? There have always been rumors. There is no hard evidence didn't think they knew each other. I think there's a strong possibility that they may cross paths before and that plays into his motive. I think so. I think they knew each other or he wanted to be in his circle and maybe he was rejected, and he says this is all speculation. There is some sense, it's not complete. Why did he delay? What was the folks in minnesota? Why in chicago, why new jersey? Why for Saatchi was there a connection there?

just some a foreigner serendipitous unfortunate occasion where just two lives intersected that's a long time and we will never know we'll. Never no fish on to me born and die every day.
