WE ARE DEPENDING HEAVILY ON THE PUBLIC'S HELP.
Police and FBI agents are scouring South Florida... and getting plenty of tips

The Versace murder is the fifth linked to Cunanan... two former lovers, a
Chicago millionaire and a New Jersey cemetery caretaker have also been targets
on his alleged cross-country killing spree.
As one of the fbi's 10-most wanted fugitives.... Andrew Cunanan's picture--
has been posted on the internet for awhile. Investigators have now raised
the bounty by adding a 10-thousand dollar reward leading to his capture.
While he is considered armed and dangerous, Police think Cunanan plans his
