This case is famous for the similarities with the one mentioned above. In January 2005, when the driver of Rudolf Mosehammer showed up at the designer’s luxurious mansion to pick up his boss, found him strangled with a telephone cord. Still wearing the black suit he’d worn the night of his death, he was lying on the corridor floor a few yards from the open door of his bedroom. “Everything indicates that it is a matter of murder,” said Munich public prosecutor Peter Boie, but gave no further details.
That same year, police arrested an Iraqi who confessed to strangling the designer during a legal battle over payment for sexual services. According to the police, the designer had no way of defending himself. The young man was arrested when he returned home and, although he initially denied the facts, eventually confessed to killing Moshammer.

You may have already heard this story from the hands of Darren Criss -as Andrew Cunanan-, Ricky Martin as -Antonio D’Amico- and Penélope Cruz as –donatella versace– but there are still many mysteries that have not yet been revealed. The morning of July 15, 1997, Gianni Versace was murdered at the door of his mansion from Miami Beach. The 50-year-old Italian designer was on his way home from breakfast at a café when Cunanan, a 27-year-old sex worker shot him in the back of the head and neck at point-blank range; died immediately.
The problem with this case, which could develop an entire theme, is that it has several hypotheses about what happened and why he was killedit starts from a theftthe search of the authorities in private matters against the law, a involvement in the mafiaa gay romance or even through voluntary transmission of HIV to one’s partner, who would have ended their life upon detection.

The mob version and the crimes of passion are most accepted: A dead pigeon found next to the couturier’s body sparked all sorts of conjectures as to whether Cunanan was in fact a hitman. Although no further evidence was found to support the hypothesis, the publication of the book Metastasi in 2010 reopened the controversy. Giuseppe Di Bella, a former member of the Calabrian mafia (birthplace of Gianni Versace), assured that the murder was a settlement ordered by the godfather Paolo de Stefano, to whom the designer had outstanding debts.
The news of his illness awakened in Cunanan a supposed thirst for revenge, which decided to end the lives of the men who could have infected him. This would explain the deaths of Trail, Manson and Miglin, but not so much that of Gianni Versace as the nature of their relationship has never been clarified.
