True crime. Real justice. "48 Hours" investigates the most intriguing crime and justice cases that touch on all areas of the human experience including greed and passion. "48 Hours," which premiered in 1988, has developed a rich history of original reporting and impact journalism that has helped exonerate wrongly convicted people, caused cold cases to be reopened and solved, and along the way changed lives.

Crazy that princess Diana was at his funeral and a little over a month later was her own funeral. Life is crazy.

“a 6 going down to a 4”! damn Nicole is brutal 🤣

Every time I get the 48 hours binge watch zoomies I end up glad my life is boring and comfortable, thank God. I love my mundane little life. ❤

For me, it is sad that this is the first time I'm hearing of these other men who were murdered. I thought that Versace's death was a stand-alone until this video. I doubt I'm the only one. How did the families and friends of these men, who were not "icons", feel about having Versace's death completely eclipse the loss and pain that THEY felt? Their lives meant just as much as a fashion designer's. 😞

Michael Williams (the first victim's best friend) seems like a very kind and warm person. I feel sorry that he's still in pain after all these years.

Versace worked hard to be somebody, and then he was killed because he was somebody. Tragic.

I was 10 when this happened and can remember that we were all glued to the news for updates on the case. Tragically, Princess Di was killed a few months later 😢 The 90s had some big true crime stories; OJ, the Menendez bros, Gianni V., Princess Di etc.😢😢😢

He shot Versace because he was an important person whose death would always be associated with him. This way he would get the attention of the whole world forever. The killer of John Lennon may have had the same motif.
Maybe AC admired Versace, and wasn't noticed by him or he was or felt rejected by him. And at that point AC knew there was no way out and so he wanted to have a grand exit. Narcissists need the feeling of importance and he would confirm his grandiosity to himself before killing himself and escaping the grasp and control of others/the state.

I hate the fact that Andrew committed suicide and left so many unanswered questions.

[GreedyPuppy]

I feel so bad for all 5 men who were murdered 😢 I don't care if you famous or just a caretaker, it's a tragedy. RIP

Oh my goodness!!! Princess Diana was present at his funeral 😱😱😱. She died barely a month later ☹️☹️☹️☹️

[rachelmayes]

I don’t know where I was but I didn’t even know Versace had been killed let alone the large task force to find the killer.
Poor men may they rest in peace.

[tundrawomansays]

Thank you for these programs. Much appreciated.
May all of the victim’s families, friends and communities find peace some where, somehow, eventually. I am so sorry for all of you.

As awful as this crime is I cant help but to also feel sad about the poor bird that was killed by the stray fragments. 😢

When someone who looks like that 18:51 is calling you ugly something ain’t right 😂

[nika]

I love how that pudgy little guy is talking about how Andrew went from a 6 to a 4, when he's sitting there looking like a 2! 🤣

[donnalemmo]

This case was nuts, Andrew was a piece of work, read his biography..he was, just cold and calculated!!

[TaylorMMontgomery]

This needs to be an hbo doc, this case is so complicated and so so many unanswered questions!
