Dark Secrets: Inside the Mind of a Mafia Hitman 4/5

Richard Leonard "The Iceman" Kuklinski (April 11, 1935 - March 5, 2006) was a convicted murderer and notorious contract killer. The six foot five inch (195 cm), 300 pound (135 kg) hitman worked for several Italian-American crime families, and claimed to have murdered over 250 men over a career that lasted 38 years from 1948 till 1986; he killed his first victim at age 13. He was the older brother of the convicted rapist and murderer Joseph Kuklinski. He spent the last years of his freedom living undetected in the suburban town of Dumont, New Jersey.

Kuklinski earned the nickname "Iceman" following his experiments with disguising the time of death of his victims by freezing their corpses in an industrial freezer. Kuklinski's method was uncovered by the authorities when he failed to let one of his victims properly thaw before disposing of the body on a warm summer's night, and the coroner found chunks of ice in the victim's heart.

Kuklinski died at the age of 70 at 1:15 a.m. on March 5, 2006. He was in a secure wing at St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton, New Jersey at the time, although the timing of his death has been labeled suspicious; Kuklinski was scheduled to testify that former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy Gravano had ordered him to murder New York Police Department Detective Peter Calabro. Kuklinski told family members that he thought "they" were poisoning him. A few days after Kuklinski's death, prosecutors dropped all charges against Gravano, saying that without Kuklinski's testimony there was insufficient evidence to continue. At the request of Kuklinski's family, forensic pathologist Michael Baden examined the results of Kuklinski's autopsy to determine if there was evidence of poisoning.

Baden concluded he died of natural causes.

@scumgod13 I'm an alcoholic, I'm drunk right now, and I'm not practicing. I'm actually doing the fucking thing.

@sk8tafrnk You're not real knowledgeable on the subject are ya, red.I'm still an alcoholic,just not a practicing one, meaning I haven't drank in 8 years.

@scumgod13 A practicing alcoholic? Haha. Okay. Maybe if you ever got any good at it you could have actually become one. Being an alcoholic isn't that fucking hard, it shouldn't take 15 years.

A sort of, “exclusive pride” combined with neurosis & eventually psychosis the longer the condition carry’s on is not an accidental occurrence in ones life. It is born from a parent which has been through the same, & incorporates this philosophy into onto his/her children through terror, creating a, “split-personality” within the child (usually before the age of 8 years old) who then can later be used by the, “handlers” (unethical Satanic hypnotists) as a golem for their pleasures & agendas.
