He may have killed because key relationships in his life had broken down. In April and May 1997, Cunanan murdered his first two victims in Minnesota: his friend, Jeffrey Trail, and his ex-boyfriend, David Madson. Trail was a former Naval officer, while Madson was an architect whom Cunanan called "the love of my life." David didn’t want anything to do with him. I mean, David was Andrew’s life." It's possible Cunanan's deteriorating relationships and/or his perception of a romantic slight contributed to his motive.
