00:00:00
[Music] July [Music] 1997 [Music] shot there's something inherently sexy in a Versace
00:00:28
design [Music] there is a flamboyance that is contained and [Music] controlled the clothes we were sent a
00:00:41
message about how the world perceives us it's as a real wow factor I'm Tim gun and I am the mentor on Project Runway
00:00:51
the Versace customer was not faint of heart one of the most iconic Versace pieces was the Gown that he made made
00:01:00
for Elizabeth Hurley two stars were born with that dress Princess Diana wanted a
00:01:05
whole new look for the world and Courtney loved it also I mean he took her from trashy to sophisticated
00:01:13
Versace helped put Miami on the international map my name is Tara Solomon and I am the
00:01:21
Miami Herald's former nightlife corespondent verace brought his entire world of fabulosity
00:01:31
and while he may have had homes all around the world he came to Miami Beach to relax do you remember where you were
00:01:41
when you heard that Versace had been murdered oh I remember profoundly I opened up my computer and it flashed
00:01:49
before me that johanny versan had been murdered I was stunned When Versace was killed there
00:01:56
was pure pandemonium on that particular morning johni Versace decided to go over
00:02:04
to News Cafe and it was on his return home approaching the door he was he was shot
00:02:12
and killed and all of a sudden we hear bang bang Two Shots yes please immediately please do you
00:02:21
remember where roughly he was he was right right here and there was obviously blood yes plenty of
00:02:28
blood and if you mention Johnny Versace um people still don't remember those names
00:02:34
of the first few people that were killed there was uh the homicide of Jeff Trail and David
00:02:44
Matson there was the murder of Lee migland then there was the murder of William Reese we have what we typically call a
00:02:56
spre killer this wasn't a halfhazard crime Mr Versace was [Music] [Music] targeted
00:03:35
world famous fashion designer Johnny Versi fatally shot Gunn down outside his mansion in Miami Beach FL turned into a
00:03:42
gruesome crime scene early this morning 5 days before he was murdered Johnny Versace and his partner Antonio
00:03:54
Deo had arrived at kasak kazarina their lavish Miami Beach Retreat they'd been in Paris and New York Versace could not
00:04:04
have known it but his killer was already in town the 911 call came in about 8:45 the
00:04:16
morning of July 15th 1997 just as Carlos Nora then a lieutenant with the Miami Beach Police
00:04:24
Department was heading to work I drove over to the scene and encountered an area just flooded with
00:04:33
police officers there was uh evidence at the front steps there was blood there was uh
00:04:43
clothing Giani Versace was an icon you have a world-renowned fashion designer celebrity who was tragically killed this
00:04:52
was all Hands-On deck yeah you don't want to screw this case up exactly it all happened in broad
00:05:00
daylight Versace had gone out alone to a local cafe to buy magazines and then he
00:05:07
walked home as he was putting the key in the door lock and he was shot twice once in
00:05:15
the face Point Black Ridge and the other one was behind the left ear in the neck
00:05:20
and that was a through and through shot Nora believes the gunman approached Versace from behind or from the
00:05:28
side I believe he was shadowing him it was a very strategically timed strategically placed attack uh to to
00:05:36
kill Giani Versace the question was who would want to kill him one of the first motives that we
00:05:43
felt was a possibility was that it was a contract hit or organized crime Mafia if
00:05:49
you will uh because there was a dead bird found next to the body is that a sign that to to us that's
00:05:56
a sign of a mafia hit but the bird it turned out was is in the wrong place at the wrong time hit by a fragment from a
00:06:03
bullet that killed Versace and that left police with not much to go on but not for long they got a break
00:06:13
from Lazaro Quintana who was a friend of Versace he used to call me lazara Lazaro
00:06:20
was at the mansion that morning he was in the dining room with Antonio when he heard the
00:06:27
shots Antonio got up and and he went to the window that faces the gate to enter the mansion and he yelled out no
00:06:37
no and I ran out you came here I came here Johnny was right here Versace was already dead on the front steps and then
00:06:46
Antonio came and he's he's crying and he was destroyed he was destroyed and he's he's who did this who
00:06:56
did this and there was there was a lady standing here and she's pointing but she
00:07:01
couldn't speak Antonio said go get him so I went after him Lazaro followed the gunman we're
00:07:09
talking this pace real fast I yelled you bastard why did you do this why did you
00:07:14
do this he makes a left turn as he makes the left turn yes he makes the left turn
00:07:19
and we're still going we're still going all the way through he turns over to the
00:07:23
right and car's coming so I couldn't get across car stops uhhuh and they yell he's got to gun he stops right across
00:07:31
here yeah at the alley and that's when he's pointing the gun at me show me how he pointed the gun at you if I'm
00:07:37
you so he didn't even look at you no never looked at you never saw his face never saw his face but you saw his
00:07:43
clothes yes the shooter cut through this alley while Lazaro raced around the corner he
00:07:50
remembered seeing a police officer there earlier I reached him and I said to him
00:07:55
Mr Versace has just been shot were you calm or were you no no no a friend of mine was just shot no
00:08:02
was I calm I was nervous I was upset you came down this street with the police officer I did luckily he came
00:08:10
upon some men in front of this building and asked them if they saw a man running
00:08:16
and they pointed they pointed to the garage he said he went in here he went in here so that's when I told the
00:08:21
officer I said he's in there go get him go get him and then we heard over the radio the commotion and and okay now
00:08:28
there is a man hunt when police searched the 13th Street Garage they discovered a pile of
00:08:36
clothes a gray t-shirt and black shorts just what Lazaro had seen the shooter wearing he had obviously changed clothes
00:08:46
when he walked out of this garage just shortly after the murder nobody knew who the shooter was nobody knew what he
00:08:52
looked like nobody knew what he was wearing he was able to just vanish but he left a mountain of evidence for
00:09:00
investigators next to that pile of clothes was a truck that had been reported stolen in New Jersey and inside
00:09:08
the truck were documents with a name I mean he left his identification in the truck that's correct he had his passport
00:09:16
um uh ID a whole lot of items that connected him right away by 12:00 noon some 3 hours after
00:09:24
Johnny Versace was murdered police had a suspect his name Andrew kunanon and as it turned out the Miami
00:09:35
Beach Police Department was not the only one looking for [Music] [Music] him in Milan Italy today those who knew and
00:10:05
admired Giani Versace said goodbye to the murdered fashion designer one week after Johnny Versace
00:10:14
was murdered celebrities and friends from around the world gathered inside this Gothic cathedral in Milan Italy for
00:10:23
his funeral I saw versace's funeral on television and I cried it was it was hard it was tough Princess
00:10:32
Diana was there at the funeral sting Trudy [Music] Elton in Miami not far from where he was
00:10:44
murdered there was a small intimate service to celebrate the designer's [Music] life the flowers left on the steps of
00:10:57
versace's opulent man Mansion served as one somber reminder of what had happened we consider Andrew kunan to be
00:11:07
armed and to be extremely dangerous the police activity was another they were tracking every lead
00:11:15
they could hunting for Johnny versace's suspected killer 27-year-old Andrew kunanon you had a
00:11:23
very good suspect Michael band was the prosecutor assigned to this case our first step was to go out into Community
00:11:32
with pictures of canadan and start beating the bushes and looking for this guy looking to figure out is this the
00:11:42
guy authorities were starting to learn all about Andrew kunanon 3 months before versace's murder
00:11:51
kunanon was living in San Diego and his life was to say the least complicated I thought he'd be a very successful
00:12:00
businessman or maybe in you know the fashion industry or something Star Quality like back in the 80s Robert
00:12:08
erens remembers his seventh grade classmate Andrew kunan as a good-looking kid with a keen fashion sense I remember
00:12:17
Andrew would put dimes in his penny loafers it was always that little extra something that made him sort of stand
00:12:23
out and get noticed Andrew sort of had this air about him that I thought was kind of Beyond his years at that
00:12:31
time according to erands Andrew conanan grew up in a workingclass San Diego suburb and did not share much about his
00:12:40
home life I had no idea who his mom was his dad whether he had brothers or sisters I had no idea who was half
00:12:48
Filipino Andrew's father Modesto was a former Navy man turned stock broker he and Andrew's mother Maryanne raised four
00:12:59
children together but Andrew stood out he had a genius IQ so he enrolled in the pricey and prestigious Bishop School in
00:13:10
the Tony Beach Enclave of La Hoya when I heard that he was going to La Hoya and transferring to Bishops I thought well
00:13:18
you've got to have money that's a private school the class of 1987 mentioned Andrew kunanon as most likely to be
00:13:27
remembered he chose a quote from King Louis V 15th to accompany his senior photo aeoa L
00:13:37
delug after me the Deluge turns out those words could have been an omen a year after Andrew's High
00:13:46
School graduation his father was facing embezzlement charges he fled the country
00:13:52
leaving his family abandoned and broke he was openly gay in high school and very flamboyant and when 48 Hours
00:14:03
first spoke to Nicole Mari Ramirez back in 1997 he knew Andrew kunanon today he still remembers kunanon as the young man
00:14:13
who didn't have a job but was a big spender and an even bigger talker Andrew Canan was basically known in the gay
00:14:22
community's nightlife in the bar scene he would walk in with the Entourage and always paid for the Bill
00:14:31
he wanted the illusion that it was his money he tried to brag that he came from a Filipino family and he knew them M
00:14:39
maros Michael Williams owned a local restaurant and knew Andrew conanan he also knew where kunanon really got all
00:14:48
that money he had a very wealthy older partner who really provided for him how much
00:14:57
older I would say probably by 40 years what did you make of that relationship I stopped trying to figure
00:15:04
that out I was like you know here's this young attractive good-look guy with this extremely older man I mean
00:15:14
I can't imagine what the connection was there I would imagine that you had an idea what the connection was there I did
00:15:25
you know Michael Williams was introduced to Andrew through their mutual friend a
00:15:30
young ensen named Jeff Trail Andrew was very pretentious loud you know always had to be the center of the the
00:15:42
party Jeff was opposite of that Jeff was pretty conservative and quiet always helping
00:15:51
people tril was an Annapolis graduate and a Gulf War veteran living in San Diego he was also gay as out as was
00:16:01
possible tonight on 48 Hours the battle over homosexuals in the military in 1993 when he appeared in
00:16:10
silhouette for a 48 Hours interview he talked to us about issues affecting gay people in the military we're not here to
00:16:18
be feared we just want to do our jobs that's all we're asking for while Trel and kunanon were friends to the best of
00:16:26
anybody's knowledge that is all they were Jeff was always had the contagious personality there where you just wanted
00:16:34
to be around him and I think that you know in a way Andrew wanted that in his life so surrounding himself around Jeff
00:16:43
he always seemed very happy and and up you did not like Andrew no for reasons known only to Canan he
00:16:53
sometimes used the name Andrew DVA that's how Michael Williams knew him and he would would soon learn a lot more
00:17:00
about Andrew who he was and what he would do would change the life of Michael Williams and end the lives of five
00:17:12
innocent [Music] victims tracing Andrew kunan and's blood soaked path to Johnny versace's front
00:17:28
door means following a series of unexplainable events punctuated with unfathomable
00:17:38
viciousness none of the dots are easily connected except in the mind of the [Music]
00:17:46
murderer the road begins with Jeff Trail he just had that Charisma about [Music]
00:17:53
him it was Trail who befriended Andrew kunanon and Michael Williams believes his friend knew Canan had lived a
00:18:01
dangerous life Andrew had a past of dealing drugs he had a pass of prostitution and I really think that
00:18:11
Jeff was trying to pull him out of that Williams says Jeff Trail had left the Navy and was training to join the
00:18:19
California Highway Patrol and then suddenly and with no explanation in the fall of
00:18:26
1996 Trail moved to Minneapolis the day that he got in the car to leave I said please be safe and he reached under the
00:18:36
seat and he he pulled out his handgun and he said I'm going to be safe I've got this around that same time Jeff Trail's
00:18:47
friend Andrew kunanon was struggling according to Nicole Mari Ramirez he was not good-looking anymore he had to have
00:18:56
looked in the mirror and saw what I saw which was a a six going down to a four what was left for his
00:19:03
life kunanon had gained weight and given away much of his expensive designer wardrobe he had dabbled into drugs he
00:19:12
was now an older young man with average looks on top of that his older wealthy partner broke up with him I surmised
00:19:23
that Andrew one day woke up after his older boyfriend broke up the relationship and what's next how is
00:19:33
he going to live he lost the money the mansion and all that went with it he lived off other
00:19:40
people he also was someone who was revengeful former FBI profiler Mary elleno tulle this is not someone that
00:19:49
you break up with easily because when you're grandiose and you're the center of the world people don't break up with
00:19:57
you and then for reasons kunanon never fully explained on Friday April 25th 1997 he went to Minneapolis he flew from
00:20:09
San Diego on a one-way ticket do you think that he went up to Minneapolis with murder on his mind yes I think that
00:20:19
he did canana knew people in Minneapolis Jeff Trail was there and Michael Williams thinks something happened
00:20:29
between the two of them I called to check on Jeff and he was just really depressed it alarmed me
00:20:38
we'd never had a conversation like that I uh I asked him have you spoken to Andrew and he
00:20:54
said uh no and I'll never speak to him again again that's odd kunan knew somebody else in
00:21:05
Minneapolis a 33-year-old architect named David Madson kunanon and Madson had had a relationship he loved to laugh
00:21:15
I'm just got a little lunch okay and he always had big energy Julie hland was David madson's friend and coworker he
00:21:25
liked problem solving we talked about World issues he was a down-to-earth person did David ever mention Andrew
00:21:36
Canan um yes he did I think he had a fling with Andrew um I don't think it was anything serious because there were
00:21:45
other people in his life that he cared about more he didn't care about Andrew um that much
00:21:51
really but according to kunan and's friends Andrew believed David was the love of his
00:21:59
life Julie hin didn't talk to David Madson over the weekend on Monday she was surprised when he didn't show up at
00:22:07
work and by Tuesday everyone was worried I called him he went to voice messaging
00:22:15
and um a couple of my co-workers went to his house over lunch hour on Tuesday um
00:22:23
heard his dog barking in the apartment she didn't know it but kunan and's killing spree had
00:22:33
already started it was noticeable as soon as you open the door and walk in nobody made any effort to try and
00:22:39
conceal it or hide it when retired Minneapolis homicide detective Dale barsness arrived at
00:22:46
madson's apartment what he saw was gruesome there was a bloody body wrapped in a rug I thought he was dead that day
00:22:59
I pretty much cried the whole night and then later we found out that um it wasn't David's body in the the carpet
00:23:11
how did you feel when you heard that um shocked but then oh what happened the body in David madson's
00:23:23
apartment was Jeff Trail he had been beaten to death with a hammer and not far from the body police found a duffel
00:23:31
bag with a name on it Andrew kunanon this is the travel bag that we believe uh Andrew kunanon brought to Minneapolis
00:23:39
on uh April 25th but where was Andrew kunanon and where was David Madson the trail stayed
00:23:48
cold for Just 4 days and then on Saturday morning two fishermen found the body of a young man on the shores of
00:23:57
East Rush Lake about an hour north of Minneapolis it was David Madson he'd been shot in the
00:24:05
head we learned that David died pretty soon after Jeff Trail oh my gosh you know to be in the
00:24:17
situation that David's in with this crazy person you know and how scary for him I'm sure he tried to calm Ander down
00:24:27
you know I I mean I'm sure there was survival mode going on like how do you diffuse this
00:24:35
situation but he obviously failed at that um and he lost his life because of that ballistic tests showed the bullets
00:24:46
used to kill Madson came from a 40 caliber gun like the one Jeff tra had taken to Minneapolis Police believe
00:24:54
kunan took that gun presumably when you were able to link madson's death to tra's death that changed the whole
00:25:03
investigation yeah now we're down there where's Andrew there were tire tracks near
00:25:09
madson's body and his car a red Jeep was missing but it would not stay missing for long 72-year-old Lee miglin was
00:25:18
found tortured and stabbed to death in the garage of his mansion on Chicago's Gold
00:25:25
Coast on the morning of May 3rd 19 1997 Steven and Barbara buer found the body of their neighbor Lee miglin he was a
00:25:34
wealthy real estate developer I can still picture it today I could see the points of his shoes and I said it Le is
00:25:43
right there I mean it was absolutely um chilling inside Lee miglin's townhouse there was some money and other things
00:25:54
missing and there was evidence the killer had stayed a while police photos show he had shaved and taken a bath
00:26:03
debris in the kitchen sink uh melted ice cream coming out of their containers then in uh Lee's Library finding this uh
00:26:12
large ham uh sliced sitting on his desk that was plenty to recognize that uh something very very bad had gone
00:26:22
on around the corner from the murder scene police would discover David madson's Jeep but now Lee miglin's green
00:26:30
Lexus was missing to this day police do not know what if any connection kunanon had to miglin but they feared kunanon
00:26:40
would strike [Applause] again I do know it's not a random act of violence a nationwide man hunt is still
00:27:03
underway for can after Andrew kunan murdered Jeff Trail David Madson and Lee miglin the gay community was terrified
00:27:15
especially in San Diego I think everybody was in a State of Shock I think some people were in a state of
00:27:23
fear people didn't answer their doors people that knew him the most stayed other
00:27:32
places Michael Williams relocated to Scottdale Arizona everybody was on very high alert cuz he didn't know where he
00:27:40
was going to strike again yeah just 6 days after he killed miglin while kunanon was on the run in miglin's green
00:27:50
Lexus police believe he realized the FBI was tracking the car phone's signal and
00:27:57
he needed a new vehicle he's believed to have struck here in pensville Friday afternoon at
00:28:04
the remote fins Point Cemetery at Fort M Park FBI is going to work at concurrently with the New Jersey State
00:28:10
Police the Lexus was found at this Cemetery in Southern New Jersey inside the office lay victim number four he was
00:28:20
45-year-old William Reese he'd been shot in the head and his red pickup was gone
00:28:27
yeah he all he was was a caretaker at a cemetery Minneapolis detective Dale barsness says William Reese was killed
00:28:36
simply for his truck you know he just was a very honorable man in the wrong place absolutely at the wrong time and
00:28:47
alone you're in Scot somewhere in Scottdale he's last heard of in New Jersey can you relax
00:28:56
no until he's caught you don't relax as Johnny Versace was in Europe working on what would be his final
00:29:05
collection Andrew kunanon was the focus of a nationwide manhunt he was featured on America's Most Wanted leis kunan may
00:29:14
be wearing glasses and earned a spot on the FBI's 10 most wanted list you think he enjoyed the the attention that he got
00:29:23
oh I absolutely do former FBI profiler Mary eleno tul he basically held the United States hostage because we were
00:29:31
looking for him everywhere we didn't know where he was UL says having murdered four men in three states over
00:29:39
12 days kunanon was now considered a spree killer a spree killer continues and continues and continues and does not
00:29:49
go back into their normal life life as they know it it's done so otou believes kunan knew knew he
00:29:57
had nothing to lose there's no way to undo what he's done now absolutely no way so he's really boxed himself into a
00:30:05
corner from a behavioral standpoint that makes him more dangerous but then for two months there was no sign of
00:30:14
kunanon until July 15th 1997 when he struck again this time was different because this time his victim
00:30:25
was Johnny Versace [Music] when you heard that he had done it again do you remember how you felt every time
00:30:37
there was another killing it was almost like you're being stabbed you know it it's that Rush of pain and you're just
00:30:47
automatically oh my God why can't they catch him there's no question that he knew that we were hot on this
00:30:54
Trail Carlos Nora remembers that Within hours hundreds of police officers piled onto Miami Beach we all but locked down
00:31:03
uh the causeways and the ways in and out of the city and I believe that created that bottleneck where he felt
00:31:09
uncomfortable trying to leave the City crime sters with all the attention on this case every day brought a flood of
00:31:18
tips how long ago the tips that were coming in were overwhelming at times especially since this was detective Gus
00:31:27
Sanchez's first homicide investigation were you nervous at all of course I was yeah we know already that he had killed
00:31:35
numerous people I remember going to different locations knocking on doors it always crosses your mind that kunan can
00:31:41
be in there armed and he can shoot through the door detectives soon learned kunanon had been in Miami beach for
00:31:47
about 2 months he was sort of hiding in plain sight exactly the police had missed several opportunities to get him
00:31:55
about a week before before he killed Versace kunanon pawned a gold coin stolen from Lee miglin how'd the pawn
00:32:04
shop know it was him he told them Pond the coin about a week before the homicide and used his own name used his
00:32:11
own name what's more kunan and's name was on a form the pawn shop was required to send to the Miami Beach Police
00:32:20
Department it arrived 5 days before the murder we did not have an automated system at the time it was was just one
00:32:27
of many forms and unfortunately nobody looked at it did you think why didn't we know about this
00:32:35
before Johnny Versace was killed that thought went through my mind several times cuz apparently he was on the beach
00:32:41
for a period of time kunan listed his address as the Normandy Plaza Hotel it was a dump you and I wouldn't stay in
00:32:49
that hotel he' registered under his own name must drive you nuts to know that this guy was walking around free as a
00:32:59
bird right I mean just the fact that this guy was being looked for speaks to the fact that he was able to blend in
00:33:07
and change his appearance and successfully just stay one step ahead that way things might have turned out
00:33:15
differently if police had a little more luck 4 days before Versace was killed someone at this subshop recognized
00:33:24
conanan from the America's Most Wanted store he called the police but they arrived
00:33:30
too late I was disappointed I was frustrated it's just unfortunate that we didn't catch him before it happened
00:33:37
after versace's murder with kunanon on the loose anxiety grew let me assure you that Miami Beach and Dade County are
00:33:48
safe I was afraid remember versace's friend Lazaro Quintana had chased kunanon so I told the officer go get him
00:33:57
he's in there go get him he knew who I was but I didn't know who he was how did you behave when you were out scared
00:34:06
cautious looking over my shoulder a lot literally I mean absolutely oh yeah I was yeah I mean I get goosebumps on it
00:34:14
absolutely this man had a gun this man knew what he was doing the longer kunan in dodged police
00:34:22
the more intense the hunt became I think the police we getting anxious where could he be
00:34:30
what kind of resources did he have former prosecutor Michael ban that's a lot of pressure that's a lot of pressure
00:34:38
on law enforcement The Whole World's watching but we don't want anybody else dead there was a sense that maybe we
00:34:45
lost him by some people I just thought that he was hiding out yeah go ahead Tom and then the tip came in that would
00:34:52
change everything here we go guys here we go I get a call Michael I think we found
00:35:00
[Music] him what's your emergency somebody got and they're shooting I heard over the
00:35:20
police radio that there had been a shot fired that they were surrounding a house
00:35:25
booat you think what we got him after a 9-day Manhunt Miami Beach detective Gus Sanchez believed Andrew
00:35:36
kunanon was finally cornered on a houseboat just 40 blocks from where he had shot down Johnny
00:35:46
[Music] Versace when Sanchez arrived it was a standoff at this point nobody's seen
00:35:54
kunan on the house boat no there's no comfor information at this point the house boat's caretaker saw signs of a
00:36:00
Breakin and when he went inside a shot was fired police quickly surrounded the houseboat they are communicating by
00:36:08
bullhorn with the houseboat after a 4-Hour Siege the SWAT team fired tear gas and went on
00:36:22
[Laughter] board when it was prosecutor Michael band followed them it was a mess it was just a
00:36:34
mess in an upstairs bedroom they found a body I just recall an individual lying on the bed looking
00:36:46
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
00:36:52
tell you my gut told me it's him but that wasn't enough I wanted fingerprints as band waited an expert at
00:37:04
the scene compared fingerprints from the corpse with kunin he looks up and he says it's him the rain of terror brought
00:37:14
Upon Us by Andrew kunan is over it turned out kunan shot himself with the same gun he used to kill Johnny Versace
00:37:24
William Reese and David Madson it was the gun he had taken from his friend and first victim Jeff Trail there's a sense
00:37:34
of relief but this was not the outcome Michael Williams hoped for I didn't want him to do anything but go to jail and
00:37:44
ride Andrew kunan and's suicide left the world with a pile of questions was there
00:37:51
any connection between Johnny Versace and Andrew kunanon there have always been rumors there is no hard evidence do
00:38:00
you think they knew each other I I think there's a strong possibility that they they crossed paths before and that plays
00:38:07
into his motive I I think so I think they knew each other or he wanted to be in his Circle and maybe he was rejected
00:38:13
and this this is all speculation there is some sense it's not complete why' he do it what was the folks in Minnesota
00:38:22
why Chicago why New Jersey why Versace was there a connection there was this just some sort of
00:38:31
serendipitous unfortunate occasion where just two lives intersected at the wrong
00:38:37
time and we'll never know we'll never know 20 years after versace's death Tim gun says versace's influence still lives
00:38:50
sexy alluring gorgeous red carpet gowns it's all attributable to Johnny Versace [Music]
00:38:58
singer Bruno Mars not only wears Versace he mentions Versace in one of his [Music]
00:39:08
songs if guys like Bruno Mars are singing about Johnny Versace 20 years after his death what in your mind does
00:39:17
that say about Johnny Versace that he's fully embedded in our society and culture and has a has a profound Legacy
00:39:24
I feel his presence uh when I'm designing lyana Aguilar a Project Runway contestant was just a teenager When
00:39:33
Versace was killed there Versace elements in what you're wearing today right yes Tim gun saw this and he said
00:39:40
this looks like Versace and I was like yes mission accomplish of course the memories are
00:39:46
infinitely more personal for Michael Williams who lost his best friend and two decades later it still hurts this
00:39:56
hasn't left left you I'm better it's taken me years you know if it was just Jeff being
00:40:03
killed would' be one thing but then you got David and Lee miglin and William Ree
00:40:09

00:40:25
seek the world lost an icon but five families lost loved ones friends lost friends all for a reason we'll never
