David Jon Madson, a 33-year-old architect from Minneapolis, was found dead on May 3, 1997, near the shore of East Rush Lake in Chisago County, Minnesota. His body showed gunshot wounds to the head and back inflicted with a .40-caliber handgun that investigators say belonged to Jeffrey Trail. Madson and Trail had both been in Madson’s Minneapolis loft apartment on April 27, where Trail was bludgeoned to death; Trail’s body was discovered rolled up in a rug in that apartment on April 29 after Madson failed to show up for work.

Madson had a prior romantic relationship with Andrew Cunanan, who stayed with Madson in Minneapolis in late April 1997 after traveling there. Madson and Cunanan were seen together in the days after Trail’s murder, and Madson’s family has maintained that he was held hostage. A duffel bag bearing Cunanan’s name was found near Trail’s body, and Madson’s red Jeep was later abandoned near the scene of a subsequent crime in Chicago.

Does anyone have photos, contacts, or firsthand observations from Minneapolis in late April and early May 1997 that could shed more light on Madson’s last days?
