In this episode, we discuss the early life of Richard Kuklinski. Kuklinski, also known as The Iceman, was convicted of five murders in 1987. A career criminal, Kuklinski was involved in burglary, bootlegging Disney films and pornography, selling drugs, and murder for hire. In this first episode of a multipart series, we take a look at how a troubled child, with a terrible upbringing, became a ruthless Mafia hitman.
