Miami Beach was the end of the line for serial killer Andrew Cunanan. His cross-country murder spree ended after he killed Gianni Versace and then himself in 1997. But five years earlier, a different serial killer, this one from Austria, led police on an international manhunt that ended right here in South Beach.

His name was Jack Unterweger. John Leake wrote about Unterweger in his book, Entering Hades: The Double Life of a Serial Killer, which is released in paperback in April. Dan Grech interviewed Leake about this serial killer’s unlikely arrival and arrest in South Florida.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
