E154: Andrew Phillip Cunanan

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)

This week Beth and Wendy discuss Andrew Phillip Cunanan, a Filipino-Italian-American best known as the man who killed Gianni Versace. But in actuality, he committed a total of five murders. He was either a spree killer or a serial killer, depending on who you talk to.

We dive into the setting (5:19), the killers early life (16:29) and the timeline (22:02).  Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (48:08), “Where are they now?” followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (52).  

As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (01:08:34). 

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams.
