The Ice Man’s Greatest Hits

The life and crimes of cold-blooded hit man Richard Kuklinski.

Written by Jason Zasky

“…What were some of the most common methods Kuklinski used to eliminate his victims?
He very much enjoyed using a knife. The day he was arrested he had a knife with 15 notches on it in his attaché case. I asked him if he killed 15 people with that knife. He said, “I did.” He typically carried two [.38] derringers and a knife. That’s what he always went out with. But he killed with cyanide, with crossbows, with bats, with clubs, and with plastic bags. He beat people to death with his fists and feet, threw people off buildings, and drowned people. Any way that there was to kill somebody he did it.

One man he was hired to kill had raped a Mobster’s daughter. He tied the man to a tree, stripped him of his clothes, and then pulled off the guy’s genitals—literally pulled them off. Then [using a knife] he began slowly slicing off pieces of flesh—like skirt steaks. While the man was still alive Richard poured a box of kosher salt over all his wounds. …”

“…Did Kuklinski consider himself to be successful in life?
No, he viewed himself as a failure. He told me numerous times that he should have bought property and retired when he was ahead. Instead he kept blowing the money he was making [$10,000 - $100,000 per hit] and never thought of the future. He was very regretful about that. He said he had an opportunity to move to California and get involved in the pornography business, and if he did that he wouldn’t be in jail. He’d be living in a big white house with his family.

I understand there’s been speculation that he was poisoned to death.
People in the know tell me that Sammy “The Bull” Gravano—who has a lot of money—took a contract out on Kuklinski and had him killed. Richard told me he was being poisoned; he told his wife and his two daughters that if he didn’t get out of the prison hospital it was because he was murdered. In just a few months time Richard lost 100 pounds and developed dementia.

The initial autopsy indicated there was cadmium in Richard’s system. Cadmium is a very rare, highly toxic poison. Indications of cadmium poisoning are kidney and lung failure. That’s exactly what Richard suffered from. As of today we still don’t know exactly what killed him, but medical examiner Dr. Michael Badin is currently studying his medical records and doing more definitive tests.

It’s not for nothing that I think Kuklinski was murdered. Gravano had hired Richard to kill a cop and had been arrested for that. If Gravano were to be convicted of that murder he could have been put to death. But after Richard died the charges against Gravano were dropped.

In his last days, did Kuklinski have any regrets?
That’s one of the last questions I asked him. After giving me a long stare he said, “Yeah, I have a regret. I regret that I didn’t kill my father.” He hated his father for killing his brother and hated him for beating his mother. Richard blamed his father for everything that happened to him. …”

Richard Kuklinski

“…Kuklinski received his name after a corpse he had stored in a frozen well for two years and dumped was discovered by authorities. In 1988, he was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. In 2006, Philip Carlo wrote a book about his life entitled The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer.

Antisocial personality disorder

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD or APD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as “…a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood.”[1] Deceit and manipulation are considered essential features of the disorder. Therefore, it is essential in making the diagnosis to collect material from sources other than the individual being diagnosed. Also, the individual must be age 18 or older as well as have a documented history of a conduct disorder before the age of 15.[1] People having antisocial personality disorder are sometimes referred to as “sociopaths” and “psychopaths”, although some researchers believe that these terms are not synonymous with ASPD.[2]

“…Diagnostic criteria

Three or more of the following are required:^[1]

1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

The antisocial behavior must not occur exclusively during an episode of schizophrenia or a manic episode.^[3]

Sex differences: According to DSM-IV (in a 1994 publication by the APA), Antisocial Personality disorder is diagnosed in approximately three percent of all males and one percent of all females.^[1]
