KRT BOX: Many questions, few answers Unanswered questions about suspected serial killer Andrew Cunanan: Why did he kill himself? Cunanan left no suicide note, but investigators said he was simply trapped and experts on serial killers theorized he may have finished what he set out to do. Why did he target his victims? Some victims were specifically targeted for revenge and others were opportunity killings. Police have said they do not know why Gianni Versace was targeted. Had Cunanan altered his appearance to elude capture? Cunanan may have altered his appearance on numerous occasions and police said he may have dressed as a woman after the slaying of Versace. But no information was released on his appearance when he died. Did he break into the houseboat or did he have a key? Police said they found no signs of forced entry to the houseboat and the caretaker found only one of the door's two locks fastened. How did he elude police for a week when he was only 2 1/2 miles from the the mansion where Versace was shot? The FBI said he kept a much lower profile after the Versace slaying and may have altered his appearance and used the empty houseboat where he died as a base of operations.
