Lee Miglin was a 72-year-old real estate developer found murdered in the garage of his Gold Coast mansion in Chicago on May 4, 1997. The crime scene was described as extremely brutal: Miglin had been bound, beaten, tortured with a screwdriver and a garden saw, had broken ribs, his wrists and feet bound with tape, his head wrapped in tape, and his throat slashed ear-to-ear. A green Lexus owned by Miglin was taken from the scene.

Investigators connected the killing to Andrew Cunanan, who had arrived in Chicago after two murders in Minneapolis. A Jeep with Minnesota plates found near the house was traced to Cunanan; Cook County warrants later charged Cunanan with killing Miglin by binding, beating, stabbing, and slashing his throat. The FBI reported no credible evidence that Cunanan knew Miglin or his family, and some experts suggested Miglin may have been a victim of opportunity.

Did anyone in Chicago at the time see unusual activity around the Gold Coast neighborhood on or around May 4, 1997?
