rejoicing in versace as the person having been with us, but so much severe sadness. >> i met versaceties and i didn't know him that well. it was a big shock when a figure that you've come to like love or to really admire gets killed like a princess di or someone like that, you're floored. you're just stunned. >> i felt like i lost somebody. i admired everything that he did. i thought he was a a brilliant artist not just a designer. i thought it was a great loss. >> four days later on july 22nd, milan, italy's cathedral is the scene of another emotional service attended by versace's family and many of his celebrity friends. >> when while despite an ongoing manhunt throughout south florida, fbi investigators and miami police are no closer to finding versace's suspected killer, andrew cunanan. >> we had information that he didn't have friends. he didn't have a support system in place that would help him. we were pretty sure that he was still here in south florida. every sighting had to be followed up. you've got to take it seriously. you don't know which one's going to be the one that's
