Some experts on murder say the term serial killer, which usually describes someone who returns to a normal routine between bursts of rage, doesn't quite fit Andrew Cunanan. They've been rolling out "spree killer." It's more appropriate for somebody on a full-time lethal tear, acting sometimes with sadistic fury, sometimes with a quick and cold-blooded bullet to the head. A theory gaining currency in the FBI is that Cunanan has been carrying out a crazed vendetta, aiming to settle scores with people he knew, that he has moved purposefully on a cross-country trek toward...
There is considerable controversy about whether the FBI neglected or fumbled the search from there.

"There are very real questions as to whether Reineck gave Cunanan the keys to the houseboat, because there were no signs of forced entry - no shattered glass or busted doors." While the FBI has not accused Reineck of being an accomplice, it is sure of one thing: the suspected...
MIAMI: Authorities say the gun used to kill fashion designer Gianni Versace was used in two earlier slayings linked to suspected serial killer Andrew Cunanan. Quoting an anonymous law enforcement source, The Miami Herald reported the bullets that killed architect David Madson in Minnesota and cemetery groundskeeper William Reese in New Jersey came from the same .40-caliber handgun that was used to pump two rounds into the back of Versace's head last week. Meanwhile, as the search for Cunanan continued in South Florida, Versace's brother and sister issued a heated statement denying that the fashion designer...
