## Resource

Richard Kuklinski was a contract killer who claimed to have murdered over 100 people during his 30-year career as a hitman for the mob. Known as "The Iceman" for his method of freezing victims' bodies to disguise their time of death, Kuklinski lived a double life as a seemingly devoted family man in suburban New Jersey while working as one of America's most prolific contract killers. He used an arsenal of methods—guns, knives, cyanide, explosives—and showed no remorse for his victims, treating murder as simply "business." His reign of terror finally ended in 1986 when an undercover sting operation caught him on tape negotiating a hit. This is the story of Richard Kuklinski—the family man who was secretly one of the most feared killers in organised crime.
