The influence of his childhood shadow led him to become a murderous maniac, claiming to have murdered more than 250 people

The protagonist's name is Richard Kuklinsky, and he also has a nickname called The Iceman. That's because the body of one of the victims had been frozen by him for more than two full years to cover up the time of death.

Richard seems to have been born a homicidal maniac, he has no fixed modus operandi, no common killing weapons, and killing is nothing more than a hunt for him. In order to enjoy the joy and sense of accomplishment after the success of the killing.

Let's start with his childhood when Richard was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on April 11, 1935, with an older brother and younger brother.

His father was a railroad worker, but he was also a sadist, not only drunk but also frequently using domestic violence, while his mother had little patience and often beat children with brooms.

In 1940, the father beat his eldest son to death by mistake, and all the family members unanimously covered up the case, pretending that he had fallen down the stairs himself.

But this has created a huge shadow on the other two children in the family. When Richard was about ten years old, he developed the illusion of killing his father and began to abuse small animals, from which he experienced an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. At the age of fourteen.

He committed the first murder in his life, beating a teenage bully to death, even pulling out his teeth and nails to prevent leaving any evidence, and finally throwing the body off the wall.

Richard then attacked six other gangsters, and the experiences made him feel empowered. In the eighth grade, Richard dropped out of school, and he secretly resolved to kill all those who provoked him without hesitation.

Whether it is an opponent at the pool table or a stranger in the restaurant, even if he does not have any reason to kill at all, he will attack. Richard was committing crimes on the west side of New York City. The police had no clue, and thought they were sweating and killing each other for territory.

Richard has always wanted to turn his desire to kill into a career, and in order to join the mafia, 18-year-old Richard randomly killed a passerby on the sidewalk, winning the respect of the mafia. Soon, Richard became an indispensable killer of the Norwis crime family, with a wide range of tools, including guns, ice picks, grenades and chainsaws. But Richard's favorite method of killing is chloride, in 1960 Richard met a woman named Barbara, the two later married and gave birth to two women and a son, Richard police and neighbors organize barbecues in the backyard of the house, and also take the children to Disney, is the image of a good father and a good husband. The whole family thought Richard was just an ordinary businessman, ignorant of the work he had done, and it was not until after Richard's arrest that the family learned of his criminal activities.

By 1965 Richard was working in a film lab where he could easily obtain templates for popular movies and make pirated copies of Disney animations for sale. In addition, he also found that the adult film market could make money faster, so selling adult movies became his regular source of income. Theft, drug trafficking, pirated movies, murder, Richard did nothing wrong, but when the police targeted them, Richard used chloride to protect himself, killing two long-time partners with chloride, and the other 3 victims were small drug dealers and adult film dealers.

Richard lured them into meeting and trading on the pretext of a big deal, and the two came to the door with a large amount of money, but were brutally killed by Richard. The body of one of the men was stored in an industrial refrigerator for more than two years to cover up the real time of death, and on January 30, 1980, Richard met with George Mariband to trade videotapes, when George brought $27,000, but they sent an argument, Richard did not say a word and fired five shots at George, taking the money. He also said lightly that this is just business.

A week later, George's body was found near a chemical plant, and he was placed in a 55-gallon bucket in which George was barely stuffed with tendons cut off. On July 1, 1981, Richard and Louis Muskie met at a restaurant, and Louis had to buy a large number of blank video recorder tapes, carrying ninety-five thousand dollars. Richard fired another shot at him in the back of the head, and Louis's body wasn't found until two years later. The coroner was surprised that on such a hot day, there were ice crystals inside the body.

On December 27, 1982, the manager of a motel went to a room after receiving a series of complaints from guests and found that the source of the odor was a rotting corpse. The deceased' name was Gary Smith, richard's men, and it turned out that their theft gang was targeted by the police, and Richard suspected that he would become an informant, so he chose to preemptively attack. Poisoned with chloride and strangled to death of the home, Gary's body was finally sandwiched between the motel's spring mattresses. In the following days, many guests staying in that room complained of a strange smell. No one thought that if you look at the bottom of the bed, if you look at it, it is likely to leave a serious psychological shadow.

After Gary's death, another of his subordinates, Daniel De Pune, was doomed. Richard deliberately placed him at his daughter's fiancé's house, neither of them was home at the time, And Richard happened to have the keys to the apartment, which Daniel thought was his place to stay, and what he didn't know was that danger was approaching. Daniel was eating unexpectedly, lost his ability to resist due to poisoning, and was also strangled to death by Richard. Next, Richard called on his daughter's fiancé to help dispose of the body. Richard also warned the other party not to be vocal and not to call the police, otherwise both black and white would find trouble for them.

On May 14, 1983, just five kilometers from Richard's house. Passers-by found a green garbage bag surrounded by several vultures. When the police arrived, they immediately contacted the coroner for an autopsy. Daniel's skin had pink spots, and it was obviously poisoned. There are also wounds on the neck, which is a similar modus operandi. The police also found that these victims had something in common, the last person they saw before they died was Richard, so he was very suspicious, but there was no evidence, so the police arranged for an undercover agent, pretending to be a member of the mafia, to lurk around Richard. On one occasion, an undercover agent approached Richard, pretending to buy a pistol muffler. Richard dismissively said he preferred poison and triumphantly described his two-year-frozen corpse. Undercover guidance, Richard said that he had repeatedly put chloride in the victim's food and drink.

And all of this was recorded. On December 17, 1986, Richard purchased chloride from undercover police. But after the deal ended, the cunning Richard experimented with stray dogs. This was found to be fake chloride. So he put an end to the murder plan and prepared to go home for shelter. But two hours later, Richard was arrested, and Richard claimed to have killed about two hundred and fifty people. But police believe most people are bragging. In the end, the judge concluded that his actions may have been directed and found him sentenced to life imprisonment on only six counts of murder. Parole is not granted until the age of one hundred and eleven.

However, it is said to be Richard's younger brother. He also murdered a girl in 1970 and threw the body and pet dog from the fifth floor, sentencing him to thirty years in prison, but when asked about his brother's crimes, Richard said something meaningful. Because we are from the same father, it is true that Richard witnessed his father killing his brother as a child, which is undoubtedly a heavy shadow for him at a young age, and the fear has disappeared when he grows up. But the hatred did not, and over time, his way of thinking was different from that of normal people, and he would kill without a word, and every time he killed him, he would think of his father's vicious appearance.

His father's negative impact on him lingered, which was also his rebellion against his dark childhood as an adult, and ordinary people were probably just a post-it note in Richard's eyes, and they immediately tore it off when they were in a bad mood. He gave all his love to his wife and children so that they did not notice a single thing.
