FBI Grants Reward for Cunanan Tip

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The FBI will reward houseboat caretaker Fernando Carreira with $10,000 for his role in leading police to alleged rampage killer Andrew Phillip Cunanan. Miami Beach police have not decided whether to give Carreira a $45,000 reward they offered for information. Carreira happened on the suspect as he went to check on a boat where Cunanan was hiding after the slaying of fashion designer Gianni Versace. When police searched the boat, they found Cunanan, who had killed himself. The FBI money is in addition to $10,000 given to Carreira last week by a New York-based gay and lesbian anti-violence group. Three of five men Cunanan was suspected of killing were gay.
