FAMILLE ANDREW CUNANAN

Parents

Modesto “Pete” Cunanan, a Filipino American, was the father of madness killer, Andrew Cunanan. Modesto was serving in the US Navy during the Vietnam War at the time of his son’s birth.

After leaving the Navy, where he had served as a career officer, Modesto worked as a stockbroker.

In 1988, when Andrew Cunanan was 19, his father Modesto deserted his family and moved to the Philippines to hide from arrest for embezzlement.

Apparently, because of these charges, Modesto returned to the Philippines to avoid being brought to justice.

Andrew Cunanan played by Finn Wittrock

He told the LA Times in 1997 he and a Filipino filmmaker sought to “dig up” the truth about his son’s suicide and shooting.

As Modesto has always maintained his son’s innocence, he hoped the film would give him the opportunity to revisit some of the facts and interviews used by investigators. While living in the Philippines, Modesto joined a survivalist cult.

Mother

Mary Anne Schillaci, an Italian-American, was Andrew Cunanan’s mother. She was a devout Catholic, however, Cunanan told friends that her mother was Jewish and her father was Filipino royalty.

On American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Andrew Cunanan uses his mother’s legacy to his advantage while trying to connect with Versace.

Finally, Cunanan’s mother moved to Illinois, where her son Christopher was based, to receive public assistance like food stamps and public housing.

The famous Yankee was the youngest of 4 youngsters. He had a brother named Christopher Cunanan and 2 sisters, Elena and Regina Cunanan.

In a 1997 News interview, Christopher Cunanan said, “He was my father’s pride and joy. (He was) terribly sane.

When he was about 10 years old, he had read all the encyclopedias…and memorized them.

Andrew Cunanan’s sister testified that their brother received special treatment: ‘He got everything he needed. My pop gave him a sports car. He had the master bedroom. He had his own tub and everything.

ANNUAIRE ANDREW CUNANAN

the most disturbing revelation to emerge since Cunanan’s killing spree and ensuing suicide is the yearbook quote he chose to feature alongside his main portrait: ‘After month the deluge’.

When Louis XV declared “after months the deluge” in 1757, it was an ominous reference to the disaster he would leave in his wake after his death.

In a 1987 high school yearbook from the Episcopal School, the caption on his photo read “most likely will be remembered.” The handwritten words in the photo are from a classmate in 1987.
