Former Homicide Detective Recalls Cunanan Murders on the 20th Anniversary. July 06, 2017 11:10 PM. It's been 20 years since a murder spree that started in Minneapolis ended in the death of famous fashion designer Gianni Versace in Miami Beach. On April 27, 1997, the body of 28-year-old Jeffrey Trail was found in the downtown Minneapolis apartment of David Madson. Trail was beaten to death by 27-year-old Andrew Cunanan. Neighbors heard a ruckus in Madson's apartment, but no one called police.
