Movie stars and top female models were drawn to him. Versace retreated to Miami, Florida in 1997 and his fate would be cemented in murder. Andrew Cunanan loved the celebrity lifestyle who was also gay, but he stayed in the closet to his immediate family. He was handsome and dynamic who dated older, rich, gay men. Those “sugar daddies” bumped him up into higher social circles. Andrew worshiped Versace who had fame, money and lived a free gay life.

Andrew never worked for anything in his young life. He studied Versace closely and then found another older man who paid for everything. Andrew's life began to fall apart in 1996 after his latest “sugar daddy” dumped him. He was broke and moved to Minneapolis where he snapped from reality. Andrew began a murder spree that brought him to Miami and the home of Gianni Versace in 1997.

Jimmy leads the investigation on Ed Gunn's murder. He thinks Harry had something to do with it cause his finger prints were found at the crime scene. Jerry believes that Harry is being framed for Ed's murder, but doesn't have concrete evidence. It all has to do with Harry being a witness in another high profile murder.

The police called him the “East Area Rapist” at Sacramento, CA. The only evidence they have of him is a hand drawn sketch from a female rape survivor. There is also a recorded phone call of him saying he wants to kill a woman. He left no finger prints behind. His plan was to stalk and then attack his victims who loved the media attention. He began as a rapist, but then turned into a killer. He went as far as going to a town hall meeting which was about “him.” A man claimed at this town hall that he would kill the rapist if he came to his home. It was a challenge and the serial killer soon attacked the man and his wife.

The rapist/killer was said to be 27-years-old back in 1976. He would be 65-years-old in 2017. DNA evidence of a male was found in 2001. Police have matched his DNA samples in several rape and murder cases. There has been no “hit” on any known male. Who is he? Where is he? His footsteps disappeared back in 1986.

It reached 0.6 million TV viewers in the all important 18-49 adult demographic. "Shades of Blue" (NBC) grabbed 4.04 overall & 0.7 with adults. "American Crime" (ABC) nabbed 1.82 overall & 0.4 with adults. 

CBS has yet to renew "Elementary" which has a strong fan base. "Deadline Hollywood" reports that CBS owns the TV crime drama at 100%. The writing staff as of last week are making deal salaries for season 6. The average TV rating for season 5 has been 7.7 million overall & 1.1 million with adults. Quite good for a veteran TV series.

'48 Hours' rewind with 'Scared to Death' from Peter Van Sant

48 HOURS on CBS. The episode is called, "Scared to Death" that I never saw.

Warren County, Ohio on April 11, 1995. Jim found his wife Vicky Barton shot to death inside their ranch home. He was a Lieutenant with the local sheriff's department. The key to this murder case was Jim's 911 Emergency call. Police zeroed in on his words, “Gotta call Phelp man...,” Jim says he said instead, “I gotta call for help man...,”

An arrest was made in 1998 of Gary Henson. He claimed he knew who shot Vicky. He said it was his half-brother Will Phelps. It was only supposed to be a robbery, but Will panicked and shot Vicky. He later committed suicide over guilt. Gary also claimed that Jim hired Will to scare Vicky into moving to town. So that Jim could be hired as Chief of police. Jim called that claim “absurd” because Gary was a compulsive criminal liar.

Jim was arrested in 2004 for hiring Will to murder his wife. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Three men who were in prison claimed that Gary Henson said he lied about Will Phelps. This was after Jim was convicted. The jurors believed criminal Gary over three other criminals. (You be the judge on this case. I believe Jim was wrongly convicted. Those jurors got it wrong. Unbelievable...!).
