Hey friends!

On this podcast, we will be talking about all thing’s crime. From murder, to missing persons, to mass shootings, to just plain old spooky! Layered with some lighthearted humor...and some not so lighthearted humor. Please be advised that this podcast is filled with adult content and explicit language; listener discretion is advised.    

This week, at request, we are discussing the case of Richard Kuklinski. Richard, also known as The Iceman, was a serial killer who had claimed to have killed over 100 people throughout his life. He started his killing career as a teen and got himself involved in a variety of illegal activities by his mid-20s. He was a family man whose children and wife had no idea about his activities and secret life. Richard was involved with organized crime and became a top hitman for many famous mafia families throughout the 60s-80s. He got the name, The Iceman, because he often froze his victims before disposing of them. He had an affinity for using cyanide to kill his victims and killed with no remorse and always kept a stoic, cold demeanor even after he was arrested and tried. How did he have this life without his family knowing? How did this prolific killer finally get arrested? Listen to the episode and find out and give us your thoughts and feedback on the case!

Trigger warning: this case involves discussion around rape, animal death, domestic violence, and very dark humor
