In this gripping episode of Spotlight Murders, host Kieran Caldwell dives into the shocking murder of Gianni Versace, the iconic fashion designer whose life ended in cold blood on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion. This isn’t just a celebrity murder—it’s a psychological deep dive into the twisted mind of serial killer Andrew Cunanan, whose cross-country killing spree stunned the nation and triggered one of the most intense FBI manhunts in American history.
Explore the secrets behind Cunanan’s double life, from his violent family past and narcissistic manipulation to his descent into fame-obsessed madness. This true crime podcast unpacks the conspiracy theories, forensic mysteries, and overlooked clues surrounding the Versace assassination. Was it revenge, a crime of opportunity, or something darker tied to the fashion elite and rumored underworld connections?
We uncover how this case became one of the most high-profile celebrity murders of the 1990s, blending fame, lies, sexuality, HIV stigma, and law enforcement failures. If you’re into true crime stories, serial killers, Miami murders, or unsolved celebrity deaths, this is the podcast episode you can’t miss.
Hosted by Kieran Caldwell and produced by Skoob, Spotlight Murders brings you deep investigative storytelling, raw psychological insight, and shocking revelations that mainstream media left behind.
