...Fernando Carreira, the caretaker who tipped off police to Cunanan's presence on the houseboat, ultimately received $55,000 in reward money, although the highly publicized $10,000 promised by New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has yet to materialize (trying to wriggle out on a technicality, the city claims Carreira called the wrong tip line; a lawsuit may be in the works).

...Cunanan found refuge in an unoccupied two-story houseboat that was still supplied with electricity but was without water. Belying reports he was dressed as a woman, he had a few days' stubble on his face. And then, at 3:30 p.m. on July 23, caretaker Fernando Carreira and his wife came by to check on the houseboat.

MIAMI: Fernando Carreira, the caretaker whose call led police to the houseboat where Andrew Cunanan killed himself, is collecting some of his reward after all, thanks to gay activists in New York and Florida. At a ceremony in Manhattan Monday, the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project presented him with the $10,000 reward it had offered. As for the rest of the money that may or may not be on the table after all: In Miami, gay activists have collected more than 3,500 signatures on a petition demanding that city pay up on its promise...
