There are spoilers! There are spoilers! There are spoilers!
1980s,
In a quiet residential area in New Jersey,
A man is celebrating Christmas with his family,
The children begged the man to help assemble a toy,
(Some pictures in this article are from related documentary and movie "Iceman")
The man said he wanted to go out to buy something, so he drove out, ten minutes later, he appeared in a small alley three blocks away...
In the alley, he lowered the brim of his hat and fired several shots at another man. The man fell to the ground.
After that, he threw the man who was shot into the trunk of the car and drove to a warehouse-like place...
He opened the warehouse, unloaded the man who was shot like unloading goods, wrapped him in a large plastic bag, and threw it into the freezer in the warehouse...
Half an hour later, the man showed up at the door of his house with the things he bought. After that, he walked into the house and assembled toys with the children. , Continue to celebrate Christmas...
This man is Richard Kuklinski, nicknamed "iceman". He is the most famous professional killer in New York in the last century. For nearly 30 years, he has been living such a peculiar double life...
In the eyes of his family and neighbors, he is a nice warm man, a good father...
And in the bloody New York underworld, he is a famous professional killer. He takes money to do things, "solves troubles" for others, and uses clean and neat techniques without leaving troubles...
The story of this professional killer must start from the beginning...
In 1935, Kuklinski was born in a Polish immigrant family in New York. His father was a worker in a meat factory. As a child, Kuklinski basically dealt with butchers. After his ears, he gradually gained experience in handling animal remains...
The parents have little education, and the Kuklinskii brothers are basically stick education. As long as the children do not follow their own teachings, they will inevitably be beaten...
(Kuklinskii's parents)
Under the high pressure of his parents, Kuklinskii learned to forgive. In front of his parents, he was an extremely well-behaved child. After leaving the sight of his parents, he began to use other methods to vent his inner resentment and violence:
He secretly killed many cats with his parents behind his back, countless cats.... There are many ways to kill cats. He thinks that only in this way can he vent his inner anger...
However, Kuklinski's other brothers did not learn to survive like him. One of his brothers was beaten to death by his parents, but his parents declared to the police that his brother fell down the stairs and fell to death...
His brother was sentenced to life imprisonment at the age of 25 for the brutal rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl...
Only Kuklinski went into adulthood without any major problems. He finally separated from his parents and lived independently. He didn't have much education. At the beginning, he worked in a warehouse in New Jersey...
During this period, he met a beautiful girl, Barbara Pedrici. Kuklinski conquered the girl with his unique restraint and cold humor, and soon they got married...
After marriage, they had three children, two sons and one daughter...
At that time, Kuklinski worked as a worker in a studio, working overtime every day, and relying on a meager salary to raise his wife and three children. He always felt pressured....
The young Kuklinski always tries to get some extra money...
At that time, he thought of the business of selling pirated pornographic tapes...
Kuklinski started to run business between New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia...
In the spring of 1954, a mixed encounter brought Kuklinski into contact with one of the five major families of the Italian Mafia in New York, the Gambinos family...
At that time, Kuklinski offended one of the leaders of the Gambino family, DeMeo...
Unexpectedly, Kuklinski's undaunted personality was appreciated by DeMeo.
DeMeo ordered Kuklinski to randomly kill individuals on the street. Kuklinski completed the task cleanly and after receiving the "voting certificate",
Kuklinski has officially become the signing killer of DeMeo and the Gambino family...
Since then,
DeMeo sent someone to pass on the message and let Kuklinski "clear" the target for them,
No matter when and where, Kuklinski will complete it cleanly, of course, every time he can receive a large amount of cash compensation...
As the "business" grows...
Kuklinski is earning more and more money,
He and his family moved out of the small apartment and lived in an upscale residential area outside of New Jersey...
Since most of Kuklinski’s "business" is in New York, and because he himself is extremely low-key,
Family members and neighbors never knew that Mr. Kuklinski, who looked like a successful businessman and was kind to others, was a professional assassin in the underworld in New York...
Of course, the family was not without suspicion. His wife Barbara was surprised to find that there was always a lot of cash in Kuklinski’s box.
But Kuklinski said that her business partners are keen on cash payments, so she stopped asking...
In addition to being low-key,
Kuklinski’s innate talent to hide himself also made it difficult for him to be tracked by the police.
His methods of committing crimes are diverse, rarely repeated, shooting, arson, cutting throats, planting bombs, rope strangulation, releasing poison gas and drugging...
Even after the murder, there are many ways to throw the corpse, throw it in a gasoline can, mutilate, bury it, throw it in the trunk of the car to the outskirts to create the illusion of a car accident...
After Kuklinski became a professional killer, he was also keen to improve his "business level"...
I often go to New York to randomly kill a few people who have a relationship with the underworld to practice their hands without being paid, so that the police will treat it as a case of underworld vendetta...
In the past few years of Kuklinski's "business diligence", he also met a colleague and "mentor" Robert Pronge in his life...
This Pronge is a professional killer who makes up as an ice cream seller.
He often stayed in certain neighborhoods, observing the target while selling ice cream. Sometimes he often sold ice cream to children on the front foot, and then killed the kid’s father on the back foot...
This Pronge, like Kuklinski, is keen on creating "creatives" in killing and throwing bodies....
He and Kuklinski jointly "studied" more advanced anti-tracing methods...
once,
DeMeo placed an order and asked Kuklinski to "torture him" before killing the target.
Inspired by Pronge, Kuklinski came up with a new trick. He threw the target person into a large mouse hole in New Jersey and watched the victim be eaten up by the mouse, and he himself recorded the whole process and gave it to DeMeo. The receipt of money...
This time, even DeMeo, the gangster who has seen the world, couldn't stand it. He vomited before watching the video and scolded Kuklinski as a "soulless demon"...
In this way, Kuklinski killed people in New York to the west to make money, while returning to New Jersey to the east to play the father of a wealthy middle-class family...
25 years have passed through this double life,
In the past 25 years, Kuklinski has not made any major mistakes...
By the 1980s, Kuklinski was no longer content to be a killer for the Italian Mafia in New York. He already had a lot of his own independent industries. He sold drugs and pirated pornographic video tapes...
Kuklinski also brought a lot of younger brothers. He is no longer the professional assassin who worked for people back then, he has become the domineering gang boss...
Because he has a reputation on the road, killing people like hemp, even the five big families in New York have to fear him three points...
Once, Kuklinski and a business partner named Louis Masgay had a contradiction because of the lack of agreement on the price. He once again showed the true qualities of a killer. Not only did he simply kill Masgay cleanly, he also used him to do a new experiment of corpse throwing. "...
He put Masgay's body in the freezer for two years, then took it out and found a place to throw it away...
Finally, when the body was discovered by the police, the forensic doctor could not identify the exact time when the body was killed...
(Louis Masgay's corpse photo, the picture below is a bit scary, you can skip it if you are timid)
This is the chilling scene at the beginning of this article...
At that time, the media gave the murderer of this case the nickname "iceman"...
However,
It was this case that made Kuklinski enter the police's field of vision for the first time...
At that time, like many gang bosses,
With the expansion of business, Kuklinski's suspicion became more and more serious. Many former brothers and business partners turned against him...
All this is due to Kuklinski’s own biggest weakness-family...
Once someone threatens him by saying "be careful of your family",
Kuklinski will immediately kill this person without any muddle...
Over the years, with Kuklinski's skill in killing people and the expansion of his own strength, he hardly puts anyone in his eyes...
More and more former partners were killed by him, including the former boss DeMeo...
Former partner and "mentor" Robert Pronge...
And former business partners and subordinates...
In this way, everyone around Kuklinski left him one by one...
He was short of manpower and had to continue to recruit helpers.
In this kind of recruitment, he gave the police a chance to approach him, revealing his own flaws...
In 1985, the special operations team of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) arranged for an agent named Dominick Polifrone to act as an undercover agent. The idea managed to get close to Kuklinski...
Polifrone pretends to be Kuklinski's little brother. After some black talk, Kuklinski finally relaxes his vigilance and tells the specific details of hiring Polifrone to kill. The whole process was recorded by the bug that Polifrone carried...
A professional killer who has been hidden for 30 years is now exposed...
After collecting enough evidence,
One morning,
New Jersey police, ATF team captured Kuklinski in a New Jersey community...
After a long trial, the court confirmed that Kuklinski committed five counts of homicide with conclusive evidence...
That is in court,
Kuklinski’s wife and children learned about the other side of their father for the first time.
This warm-hearted husband and amiable father who never yelled at them turned out to be a professional killer who had been hiding for more than 30 years. He was the murderous demon "iceman" described by the media...
Kuklinski was eventually sentenced to two life imprisonments on five counts of murder.
However, according to conservative estimates by police officers, more than 200 people died in his hands....
In 2006, he was terminally ill and died in prison...
Although the killing was horrible, Kuklinski said in an interview with the media before his death that as a professional killer, he also has his own principles.
"Never kill children or women..."
"All my friends are dead, I swear, once, I loved them so much, but they all turned against me in the end..."
When asked what kind of life he would like to choose if he had the opportunity to start all over again, he said:
"If I can do it again, I just want to find a quiet place, a place where I just want to sit down and don't think about anything. There is no killing, no violence, no screaming, just being with my family..."
"Ten years after the start of my assassin career, I was very tired of it, but in the end I couldn't look back..."
Kuklinski’s case will never be closed...
Because the specific number of people killed by this abnormality and the identity of the dead can never be finalized....
