Part 4 “The Iceman” Richard Kuklinski

For over thirty years, Richard Kuklinski lived a shocking double life. While appearing like a suburban husband and father at home, he was a brutal contract killer on the streets and earned the nickname, “The Ice Man.” Kuklinski grew up in a broken home, abused and beaten.
