My Take
Writing about Andrew Cunanan is uncomfortable, and it should be. He murdered five people, including Gianni Versace, before taking his own life in 1997. I have no interest in glamorizing him, but I cannot stop wondering how a bright, charismatic UC San Diego student spiraled into that kind of darkness. His story endures less as true crime spectacle than as a sobering case study in deception, image, and the lethal hollowness behind a charming facade. I include him here strictly as a cautionary figure, a name to remember so the cost of his crimes is never forgotten.
