show moreBorn in 1935 in Jersey City, New Jersey, Kuklinski grew up in an abusive household, which likely contributed to his early and prolific career in violence. He was responsible for an estimated 100 to 200 murders, earning his nickname due to his practice of freezing his victims' bodies to obscure the time of death. Kuklinski was known for his cold-blooded and methodical approach to killing, using a variety of methods, including guns, knives, poison, and even bare hands.
Despite his brutal criminal activities, Kuklinski led a double life as a seemingly ordinary family man in suburban New Jersey. His ability to compartmentalize his life allowed him to maintain this facade for years, even as he carried out his grisly work. Kuklinski was eventually brought down by an undercover sting operation in the mid-1980s, leading to his arrest and conviction for multiple murders.
He was sentenced to life in prison, where he spent the remainder of his days until his death in 2006. Kuklinski remains one of the most infamous hitmen in American history, known for his chilling detachment and the terrifying ability to blend into society while committing some of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
