If ever there was a real life boogey man it would have to be Richard Kuklinski. Just looking at this guy scares the shit out of me. Kuklinski, better known as the Iceman, was a cleaner for the mob out on the east coast. The name Iceman came from him freezing his victims to throw off the coroner's time of death findings.
He worked mostly for a Jersey crime family but over the years his services were used by every family on the map. The Iceman has murdered over 150 people, quite possibly more. He would kill anybody and everybody. He'd take out a mob man or someone on the street that looked at him funny. Kuklinski was put behind bars in the early '90s for his involvement in the murder of an NYC police chief that was later linked to the Gambino family. He was sent away on 5 murder charges but authorities believed he was responsible for many more. It wasn't until he took his story public that the law found out just how many people Kuklinski whacked. There's a few books about his story but the one that takes the cake is the HBO America Undercover interview they did with him in prison.
Like I said, this guy is the real deal. A cold blooded killer that could snap in a second. It's been confirmed that 2 new movies about his life are due out, one made for TV and one for theaters.
