Soon enough, anyone that annoyed Kuklinski was to be murdered, anyone that reminded him of his father, anyone that didn’t allow him to win at the pool table, and many other various ways. Later in life during an interview, he admitted to feeling empowered after committing his first murder. Unsurprisingly, it wouldn’t be long before Kuklinski started being violent, firstly he began killing cats in the neighborhood before committing his first murder at the age of 14, a teen in a neighboring gang, the body was never found. His elder brother died from the abuse suffered at the hands of their father. He was born 11th of April 1935 in the Polish section of New Jersey, born to a devout Catholic mother and an abusive violent alcoholic of a father, who beat Kuklinski regularly.
His death toll was widely believed to be between 100 and 200 men. Shales wrote.Richard ‘The Iceman’ Kuklinski known as ‘The Iceman’ due to the fact he would often freeze his victims to obscure their time of death, was described as one of the most violent contracted hitmen who worked for numerous prominent Mafia crime families. "After watching, you may feel some minds are better left unpenetrated," Mr. Kuklinski "the ultimate misanthrope, unapologetic and irredeemable," then mentioned a promise in the prologue to penetrate his mind. In a 1992 column in The Washington Post about the first documentary, Tom Shales called Mr. Kuklinski's wife and three children survive him. Kuklinski tried to smother her with a pillow, pointed a gun at her, tried to run her over with a car and three times hit her so hard that he broke her nose. The Bruno book quoted her as disclosing that Mr. Kuklinski called them "the all-American family." They lived a suburban, relatively affluent life of backyard barbecuing in Dumont, N.J.
He longed to translate his love of killing into a living, he said, but Mafia kingpins, suspicious of his zeal, first limited him to lesser crimes. His crime career began after he took a job at a film lab and sold pornographic movies to the Gambinos. He killed neighborhood cats as a youth and said he committed his first murder at 14, after which, he said, he felt "empowered." He was an altar boy and dropped out of school in eighth grade.
Richard Kuklinski was born on April 11, 1935, in Jersey City. In an interview for "The Iceman: The True Story of a Cold-Blooded Killer" (1993) written by Anthony Bruno, he said he had killed Roy DeMeo, a particularly murderous member of the Gambino crime family, but Jerry Capeci, a well-known authority on the Mafia who has written extensively about it, doubted this. In the first documentary, in 1992, he said he had killed up to 100 people. Kuklinski disclosed the killing of Detective Calabro on the second HBO documentary on his life, in 2001. In 2003, his guilty plea in the 1980 slaying of Peter Calabro, a New York City police detective, added a meaningless 30 years: he was already ineligible for parole until the age of 110. The authorities also impugned his claim of storing a corpse in the freezer of a Mister Softee truck for two years.īut enough of the truth emerged in a New Jersey courtroom in 1988 to convict him of five murders, for which he was serving consecutive life sentences. Kuklinski - a 6-foot-5, 300-pound, tattooed, bearded man - took his public act a step too far and told specious stories, like the dramatic role he claimed in the killing of the Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa.
