An international fashion show in Miami Beach. The perfect setting to remember

"NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE THIS EVENING WITHOUT GIANNI VERSACE. WE LOST A
NEIGHBOR, WE LOST A COLLEAGUE, WE LOST A FRIEND."
In New York where the mens' spring lines were unveiled. Versace was
remembered in another way. Security was doubled and tripled with his
suspected murderer Andrew Cunanan still on the loose.
FERN MALLIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NY FASHION SHOW:
"EVERYBODY'S, YOU KNOW, BEING A LITTLE BIT SHARPER, A LITTLE MORE IN TUNE.
WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY DOUBLE CHECKS THE INVITATIONS AND CREDENTIALS
AND YOU KNOW, JUST BE LITTLE BIT MORE CAUTIOUS, THAT'S ALL."
The motive investigators are developing for Cunanan's rampage is revenge.
Paybacks to those he feels mistreated him. The FBI is now warning a list of
wealthy gay men across the country who may be potential targets.
"We've done a good job in contacting again, hundreds of people, some of whom
perhaps he only met once or twice, he may have only met once or twice, some of
whom may have been friends of friends."
And it now appears as though the Miami Beach Police Department missed a
golden opportunity to snag Cunanan a week before the murder. He apparently
pawned a coin at a shop several miles north of the murder scene a week before
the and as required by law the pawn shop owner sent a receipt with Cunanan's
name, fingerprints, and local address to the police -- meaning a week before
the murder -- The Miami Beach Police Department had the name and address of one
of the FBI's 10 most wanted. Trouble is...no one noticed.
