Richard Kuklinski, known as "The Iceman," was an American contract killer and serial murderer who operated from the 1950s until his arrest in 1986. Born on April 11, 1935, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Kuklinski was raised in an abusive household, which played a significant role in shaping his violent tendencies. He earned his nickname due to his method of freezing his victims' bodies to obscure the time of death.
Kuklinski's criminal career was marked by his cold and calculated methods of murder, using a variety of techniques such as shooting, stabbing, poisoning, and strangulation. He killed for money, personal vendettas, and sometimes merely for practice. Kuklinski's detached demeanor and sadistic enjoyment of his victims' suffering made him one of the most notorious killers in American history. He was convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to life imprisonment, where he remained until his death in 2006.
