Mob enforcer. Contract killer. Self-made legend.

Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski is one of America’s most infamous contract killers — a man who claimed to have murdered more than 100 people while working for New Jersey and New York crime families. But behind the macabre legend lies a killer who blended real violence with outright invention. 

In this episode, Simon Ford looks at the psychology, the mob connections, and the mythmaking behind Kuklinski’s criminal career. From freezing bodies to confuse coroners to his chilling interviews with forensic psychologist Dr Park Dietz, Kuklinski remains a disturbing figure at the crossroads of true crime and dark folklore.
