off-season in miami beach. temperatures that mirror the humidity, drive all that hard courts on worshippers inside. and the days after giuliani versace died on his mansion coral steps, detective george to borrow was most definitely feeling the heat. >> how much pressure was on you? >> oh, incredible. never had that much pressure on me ever. literally working around the clock, sleeping two hours, three hours. >> how do you keep going? >> i was young back then. >> so much they didn't know. would he kill again? was this a vendetta against people who upset him? was he targeting gayman? was versace the most prominent gay man in town one of the list?

the versace family wanted no part of finding out. >> versace's family obviously was devastated, how could they not be? however, they wanted to get him out of there. they got all kinds of privilege treatment, all kind of protocol were broken. and he was cremated immediately, and they left with his ashes. and that was it. >> the family's kept the miami beach memorial service, which investigated attended in perhaps buchanan would show up to rubble his kill. >> the police -- is intense in south florida. the >> 230 investigators now assigned to the case chase more than 1000 leads in the 18 square miles of miami beach. knowing, given the intense coverage, that qanon and had to be watching their every move. >> that's why we had to use runners and cellphones and land lines to serve our radios.

>> in other words, you're trying to keep the media from finding out because the media be telling him directly? >> right, but when you do that it's kind of a double edged sword, you don't give the media what they're looking for, they kind of try to find it on their own. >> that's exactly what minneapolis reporter chris graves did. she followed the qanon and trail first to chicago than to miami. and discovered a missed clue. >> so, i'm in south beach, and there was a strip mall in the near vicinity. and i just start going door to door, to door, to door, to ask people if they knew and york yunnan. >> at cash on the beach plunge pots, graves hit the jackpot. >> this woman came up and said, yeah, we know him. i said, what? >> it was the shop where qanon and had fawn that cold coin, signed his real name on the plan slip. gave the norm of the plaza

address, and provided his fingerprint. >> he the guy doesn't look like a serial killer. >> and remember, as required by law, the pawnshop sent police the transaction. they got it five days before the murder. >> lo and behold, south beach police had a copy of that pawn slip days before giuliani versace was dead. >> so, could they have prevented the murder? up in chicago, paul viper read grave story, what >> do you remember finding out about this coin being found? >> i couldn't believe it, i knew would immediately with those gold coins were. in fact, they were probably the coins that i had to leave make limbs. >> so, that coin for tied rick yunnan into lee midlands murder and where he was hiding in miami beach. that is, if police have been looking. but before the murder, they weren't. even though qanon was on the fbi's most wanted list. >> he took a beating over the

pawnshop, rightfully so. >> because the one officer whose job was to check upon slips, didn't get to it. he was assigned elsewhere that week. >> so, it was sitting on his desk for almost a week. >> what did that detective feel like when he realized would happen? >> felt terrible, but serve murphy's law again -- adequate assistant we had back then. >> but the pawnshop discovery did point to detect her to the normandy plaza. >> let's talk to everybody, let's interview all the employees. we'll show pictures of andrew, no one's ever seen this guy. >> and then the next day, a memory suddenly improved. we >> when the manager of the hotel, all of a sudden remembered, and yunnan in. >> okay. >> and remember that he's under this name, kirk to mars from paris, france. >> by then, can animus long gone, skipped out on his ranch,

another miss and a growing list of misses across four states. >> what was that like? knowing that you can see him, he's seen not around, he's gone now? >> very frustrating, it seemed like we were always one step behind him. >> then, it got worse. >> the fbi pulled all their special agents except for four. >> why? >>. the director felt that qanon wasn't -- at the time i was pissed. because we had lead still coming in >> then, eight days into the search, just when it seemed police would never catch a break. we're >> so, we get a call on the radio from dispatch. >> blue houseboat -- >> shots fired at this house vote. and i thought to myself would a perfect place to hide. >> coming up, >> matt perimeter set around the house vote, we called marine patrol to cover
