Richard Kuklinski | America's Favorite Serial Killer | HBO

HBO:  how many people have you killed?
Iceman:  (after a long pause for that) approximately, I would guess (another pause) more than a hundred.

If you're new to studying serial killers, The Iceman is a real treat since he's about as cold-blooded as it's possible to get and all the while he was an outstanding family man.

Mikhail Popkov, Russia's new serial killer, whacked eighty-two women but he had some demented personal reason for it.  Richard Kuklinski didn't; he just killed people for the money.

Make yourself comfortable as you thought "Thriller" was scary (it was) but ...

I will kill you - Richard Kuklinski





Ed:  what's the point in wasting a second on this monster?

The contrast between legal and illegal murder is novel since he's even more dispassionate about it than those who do it with drone bombs.  There is no emotional engagement with him at all and the wonder is how is that possible when he can have the love in him to want to build a family.

Watson:  maybe he did that just because he knew it would be an excellent cover?

Now you're getting with the spirit of it, Watson.  We can be reasonably sure he will never get out of jail so we can safely analyze why these monstrous mutations do what they do.


With some of them, you can see the emotional affect as they describe their murders and those ones scare the living hell out of me so much I really don't want to see them.  The Iceman is different since he just does not care but more than likely you will be perfectly safe with him so long as you don't piss him off.  No-one's safe from those ones who do it from psychopathic cause but Kuklinski is not at all like that.

I guess you heard--"The Angel of Death" (Harvey) died after a beating in jail.
And we couldnt understand why the concrete guy was not showing up since he was highly recommended by Sunspot....do you remember why?

Wasn't he a nurse who was croaking people in hospital??

You've got me on the Sunspot guy. I don't remember that one. I bet it's a creepy answer (larfs).

Our concrete guy for the pool..Harvey was his wife's brother. And it came highly recommended by Sunspot...but he was not showing up to do the job for us...then we saw his wife on the news....it was taking place when the brother-in-law Donald Harvey had been arrested for the killing at Drake Hospital.

Completely crazy. I remember the concrete guy as a wily rascal and he got me saying 'nary' which I've used ever since. No idea where that originates. Maybe he heard it from Donald Harvey. Whew, this is nuts.
