Versaceroad.jpg The NYT‘ Cathy Horyn recalls the days surrounding the Versace murder: “Ten years on, I asked [publicist Ed] Filipowski what stands out in his mind from that week. He and his partner, Julie Mannion, were inside the house the whole time, and Ms. Mannion had stayed with Versace’s body in the morgue, at his sister’s request, until she and her brother Santo could arrive from Italy. Mr. Filipowski thought for a moment and said: ‘How personal and private they kept everything — that’s what I remember. With everything that was going on outside. It was: ‘Our brother is dead.””
