...Miami the mansion where Gianni Versace was shot in the head by hustler and spree killer Andrew Cunanan has become an ad hoc tourist attraction, as has the houseboat where Cunanan put a bullet into his own skull after setting off one of the most intensive manhunts in recent history. A book published this fall, Death at Every Stop: The True Story of Andrew Cunanan--The Man Who Murdered Designer Gianni Versace, by Wensley Clarkson (author of Slave Girls), added a few new details to the once inescapable but now nearly forgotten Cunanan legend: he reportedly fathered a child...

No one would have thought that this murderer would put the nation in such a frantic state.
