David Madsen
Portrayed By: Cody Fern
Cunanan's second victim, David Madsen was an architect who was friends with Trail as well as Cunanan's former lover. It's widely believed that Cunanan's murder of Trail was a crime of passion and that Cunanan forced Madsen to flee with him. He was found in a river with gunshots in his head and back.

Ronnie
Played By: Max Greenfield
Though there was a real former florist named Ronnie in Cunanan's life, the version of Ronnie we see is more like a combination of several people Cunanan knew. He largely represents the seedy underbelly of the gay community Cunanan pretended not to know.

Detective Lori Wieder
Played By: Dascha Polanco
Like Greenfield's character, there is no direct real-life counterpart to Polanco's Detective Wieder. However, the OITNB actress plays an important role. The police's lack of attention and direction are what ultimately led to Cunanan getting away with so many murders for so long.
