BE EXTREMELY NICE TO CHILDREN- ALWAYS. The pain this man has suffered every day because of his parents is unforgivable. They also have blood on their hands.
I’m afraid it’s not so simple. There are people treated cruelty by parents and or caregivers and turn out different. He had the right mix of off-balance of chemicals and electrical synopsis of the brain. Environment merely played the role of lighting the fuse. Psychopaths is an unbalance of chemical and electrical impulses. But never underestimate loving and teaching children their self worth. And the worth of human life.
The parents definitely have blood on their hands considering his father killed Richard’s older brother Florian by essentially beating him to death. He made the mom tell everyone including Richard that Florian was hit by a car.
The fact that he can feel so deeply for his beloved family, but disconnect himself from the fact that all the people he killed having family’s that loved them and what he put them through, is actually astounding and certainly another atypical aspect of this man.
His brother was messed up too. We have a generation if RK’s running wild today. Watch the news, most violent crimes are committed by teenagers. Especially with guns.
It's not really a documentary. HBO knew he was making up stories and ignored the facts. Money took precedent and if Kuklinski wanted to say he was a hitman and worked for the mafia it didn't matter to them.
One of my favorites too, But I don't think he killed all that many people, He was gonna die in prison so wanted to make himself out to be a Serial killer
Everybody who was in that life during that time knows kuklinski was full of it. He totally fabricated a majority of what he said. He thought he was Roy demeo in his own head. The biggest thing kuklinski ever did was this bs documentary. All these stories are pretty much fabricated. Most of these stories he came up with while he was in prison bcuz he had nothing but time to make up this bs. The cyanide story is bs he never did that. Go ask Sammy the bull the #2 guy under John gotti in the gambino crime family a guy who is responsible for 19 murders what he thinks of kuklinski. At 8:45 the interviewer asks “do any of these murders haunt you” and he responds with “nothing haunts me, no murders haunt me”. He said that because he knows it’s all bs
Except his claims about being a contract killer and working for the mafia have been debunked years ago. He killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related.✌️
@@ThomasJones-ij6hvactually incorrect. The only people that say he was lying are former mobsters that turned State witness. I can't find anything official that states this guy was lying. This man for sure killed about 15 people. Idk about 100 but he's for sure credited with about 15 kills.
@@dman7626 I have been following him since his arrest. I have watched and read the interviews and both books multiple times. 20 years ago I saw an interview with Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated his claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back. So starting from the beginning so called journalists never did their job. Any of the three interviews he gave were based on his claims only, nobody fact checked them. In One of the interviews he claimed to be part of a hit squad with men who were in jail at the time. That was very easy to look up. The last book written about him by Philip Carlo had to have retractions printed after the first printing. I don't base anything off of mafia rats like Gravano and Franzese, my opinion was formed long before they showed up on UA-cam. He has told so many lies he couldn't keep them straight. He has described 3 seperate first murders. How is that possible? All his major mafia hits, Castellano, Galante and Demeo are all solved and he wasn't involved. I understand Wikipedia can be changed but look up Kuklinski. I believe it's the 6th or 7th reference listed that gives an article with FBI agent Smith that you can look up. He was one of the FBI agents who investigated him and believes that the very most he might have killed 10 people. He has stated Kuklinski ,once in prison would read old articles in magazines and when he came across and unsolved murder he would claim it. He claimed the Demeo hit, but the papers never listed that a chandelier was placed over his body in the trunk and Kuklinski couldn't tell him that fact. He also claimed killing three men in a van in Georgia who cut him off but authorities believe there were multiple shooters and he couldn't name the caliber used. The Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information. I found it about a year ago and I was impressed with the amount of research he did. He even has the video clip of Detective McCabe. Check it out if you like. I still go with 5 kills, never a hitman and he never worked for the mafia.✌️
This is one of the best documentaries on a killer ever created.. great editing narrating, sound, music etc.. I want to see more of these kinds can someone recommend any for me?
@@ujayet True. Regardless of how many murders, he was a scumbag who gave regular beatings to both wives in front of the children. I saw an interview with his daughter Merrick who stated her mother got paid handsomely for each interview and both books so it gave him another reason to lie. The Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information. He even has a video clip I saw 20 yrs ago of Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated Kuklinski's claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back. He also has a great series on Roy Demeo you might enjoy. If you like mafia related content The Sitdown- A crime history podcast and The Original Gangsters podcast,both on UA-cam, do great work.
He made up alot of stories in which he was minding his own business and people messed with him. 95% of his claims have been debunked for years, he killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related.
@@moonsoon1038 in 1972 he claimed to tie a man up in a cave . Set a video camera up and leave. He came back a week later and on tape was a horde of man-eating cave rats devouring the man. Do you believe that? What a dope. Please direct me to one source of man eating cave rats in the Northeast, in 1984 I bought a top of the line camcorder that could record for 90 minutes and that was with turning the tape over at 45 minutes. He must of invented lithium batteries and the digital format decades before everyone else. He has described 3 seperate first kills. One when he was 14 and beat his bully to death. One when he was 18 and lit a man on fire who insulted him in a bar. One when he was 25 and used a pool cue to beat a man to death who insulted him. So Dopey, explain to me how he could have three seperate first murders?
My mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and beat me mercilessly as a child, was bullied none stop through all 12 years of school, and yet I didn't take a violent path. We all choose our path, we are responsible for the choices we make, nobody else is. Everyone deals with violence differently. My life was a non stop nightmare, my loving father was my saving grace.
its now known that some people have underdeveloped parts in the brain and in some cases they dont have such strong feelings as others. if you pair this condition with his upbringing you have the perfect storm. imagine dont having fear when you get bullied, this would mean that you start fighting wich stops it and then you learn about the power of violence etc. etc. its super complex.
exactly. now imagine NOT having your saving grace, chances you become like Richard would rise exponentialy. dont compare yourself to him since you haven't experienced the exactly same life he did.
Well I bet it affected you. Not all abused kids become killers, but a lot of killers were abused. It messes with your mind. You had someone, that makes a big difference. I've had several abused friends and all nice people, but all were negatively affected by the abuse.
Something they don't cover in this documentary but a later one in 2022 ("Very Scary People" with Donnie Wahlberg) is Richard had a third brother who was beaten to death by their father when Richard was around seven or eight years old. The brother died in the hospital. When the police and doctors inquired of the death, Richard's father had threatened to murder the family if they snitched on him. So the story that was told to the police was some mysterious group of hoodlums ganged up on the kid, beat him to death for kicks, then took off into the sunset.
It always struck me as crazy how likeable he is. He has a calming energy about him, despite the very obvious activity going on behind his eyes. You'd really never think he was out doing all of that, chainsawing limbs and everything. He seems like the kind of guy who watches the Sunday game in his bath robe
Yeah, I think there's a charm and charisma that he almost needed to influence all around him. Seems like he can charm you or scare you with a flip of a switch.
It's cause he's not a psychotic killer.. he's a contract hitmen and treated it like a job instead of some gratification... but he was so good at his job
@@VinDiesel-c5u also his daughter Merrick has stated her mother got paid handsomely for each interview and both books. He had to make up more and more lies for each. He actually describes his first murder happening when he was 14, then 18 and then 25. He gave multiple accounts of each.😂
@@ThomasJones-ij6hvwell thank god u are here to educate us all about what is true and what isnt. Smh, so since u obviously was there or personally know him, what was his fav food??? Smh lol im not even saying ur wrong, hell u may be right but how the hell would u know and be so sure that u know all this?? Thats all im sayin.
Can't believe I sat next to that guy at the counter at Harry's corner . It was 1986 and I remember sitting there and made eye contact and I said how you doing? He just said I'm great kid. Holy shit
This is exactly how my brother and I were raised except my father was fundamentist baptist. We were both scarred by it. The thing is we thought everybody lived like that.
He’s so cool, so calm and so collected that he’s lethal in his approach to the environment he’s in. He’s seems quiet but strangely analytical. He frightens me when he keeps his eyes on the interviewer for a split second too long.
Do you envy the man? Why the anger in you? If he killed 1 or 2 or 3 or 50 what changes? You say that his "mafia" associates "called him out" …Really you believe what those rats have to say? Each and every mafia member is QUICK and I do mean quick to rat anyone out to get a lighter sentenced. Rarely do you find a guy that eats the bullet. Are you tougher and meaner and badder than the "Iceman" Is that what your comment is all about? Okay "Gonken88" YOU DA' Man
@@bradshaw500 If everyone of them says the same thing independently of eachother, and you consider the fact that the Italian mafia has very specific rules about outsiders, it becomes pretty clear.
@@bradshaw500 Add to that that half of his stories don't add up, he doesn't know what was in the syringe, he claims rats killed people, inconsistencies about when and how things happened etc, you know what you're dealing with.
Imagine the rage inside. If you think about how much effort it cost the iceman to not cry the strength behind that. The rage inside. The anger. Imagine he would let go of that and just cried. The rage that comes out of that must be unseen.
He’s incapable of feeling any of the emotions you are describing.. He can’t let go of things he doesn’t carry with him. He doesn’t get angry he gets even. He doesn’t cry he obsesses. It’s almost incomprehensible for people who don’t have antisocial personality disorder. I couldn’t imagine not feeling any feeling one way or another about things
@@InohiHsohba like resentments? This stupid man is nothing but full of shit!! he got caught for a few murders. He never was a hitman ever ever? he stole money from people who trusted him? like 2 maybe 3
@@InohiHsohba When he was asked how he feels about killing he said " I don't; it doesn't bother me." But no one asked whether it bothered him. He was simply asked how he felt about it. My guess is it absolutely bothered him but he had to deny it to survive.
They didn’t even talk about his older brother…..the suffering that this man endured as a young person and a boy made him what he was. He still knew it was wrong. But it is so important to make sure we as adults raise our children to be positive products of society. My condolences to the victims and their families my condolences to the family of Richard as well.
If he knew it was wrong why didn't he get help. And how do you raise children to be positive if you excuse adult behaviour that is not just criminal but as close to evil as you can get. You must be good - but if you can't be good it's OK to torture someone else???
@@alpetterson9452 i definitely do not condone this type of behavior. Not sure where that was said. There is usually a trauma that happens to make a person think the way they do. Not an excuse or anything like that just an observation. Which is why I believe it’s so important to raise your kids in a loving and caring manner.
@@thehotnickles9458 Trauma is hardly an excuse. He was Un-traumatic enough to avoid the law for years and to bring up a family. So trauma doesn't apply unless it's used as a pretty maliable excuse. If you are simply making 'observations' and not excuses, I wonder why you don't comment on his hairstyle of the colour of the shoes. You mention trauma and childhood BECAUSE you want an excuse. The goy cold-bloodedly ripped people apart and then went home to his wife and kids.
@@heyyo7708 he claimed hits on Castellano, Galante, Demeo and Anastasia, do you think he did those? How about Hoffa? He claimed 3 seperate first murders. He was 14 and beat his bully to death with a wooden pole or metal pipe and he left the body and for weeks he could see the chalk outline or he took the body and removed the teeth and fingerprints. Those are the versions he gave for his first "first" murder. His second first murder occurred when he was 18, he was in a bar, he got insulted, in later on discovered the man passed out in his car so he got a gas can which apparently he keeps with him and let him on fire. His third first murder that he has described happened when he was 25, he was in a different bar, again he was insulted, he took a pool cue and beat the man to death. What world do you live in where somebody can have three separate first murders? Are you stupid enough that you believed his horde of man-eating cave rats devouring men in 1972 story? Man eating rats?😂😂 In 1984 I bought a top of the line camcorder that could record for 90 minutes. In 1972 he set up a camera and came back a week later and the whole devouring was on film. 😂🤣😂. He must of invented lithium batteries and the digital format decades before everyone else. Go to bed you gullible bastard, Santa is making a list.
i am a x gang banger nowhere near his level and i had a life and death experience and really thought it was over [but jesus scared me straight]...when this guy told that one guy if jesus comes down and saves him so be it but but jesus did not come even as bad as he is he knows thats one he should of never done....j/s
I was a Forest Ranger. I find the clicking of teeth interesting. Bears do that. 🌲. I have encountered bears. California to Alaska. They all had a common thing. Grinding or clicking there teeth when they are stressed.
Victor : I have a strong aversion to hearing peoples " mouth noises", including: teeth grinding, loud eating, snapping gu, and I eventually had to turn off the audio in the vid and rely on closed captioning; just couldn't stand hearing it anymore. Thanks for mentioning the bears etc. Interesting. This man was also very dry mouthed, another sign of stress.
What you should really feel bad about is that he is a lost soul,died most likely unrepentant. Even Richard could have been forgiven through Jesus Christ,but because he didn’t receive Christ as savior,he died committing the unpardonable sin.
He loved giving regular beatings to both wives in front of the children. He loved breaking noses, jaws and ribs. He loved killing several family dogs in front of the children. He loved telling his 7 yr old daughter Merrick that when he kills her mother he would have to kill the rest of the family. He also loved making up stories about being a contract killer and working for the mafia.
I’m not sure why they overdubbed Park Dietz voice in the interview with someone else asking the same questions but I wish they hadn’t. Parks voice and the way he questioned Richard made the interview far more dynamic and interesting. They had a unique back and forth that made a more visceral feeling to the audience.
Dr Dietz testified for the prosecution in the Scott Kologi trial (2020). It can be seen on UA-cam. He was questioned by the defense attorney about the iceman interviews. He was trying to discredit the Doctor by showing he was easily fooled. Dr Dietz testified he repeatedly told the producers of the HBO documentary that Kuklinski was lying but they ignored him.
I see him the way you do. I am a religious person but I still understand how he became the person he did. I am interested in how the mind can flipp and all of a sudden it is about survival and protection.

How does someone have 3 seperate first murders?
HBO still puts out plenty of good fantasy content. I will admit he was very good at making up stories but he told so many lies he couldn't even keep them straight.
When I saw this program a few years ago the absolute coldness that this man discussed his life as a Hitman and the matter of fact way he went about telling it made you not able to change the channel. At one point he stopped taking for a second and gave this look into the camera and I swear I cut a chill down my back bout a foot and a half long. I kinda felt sorry for him for a minute because of the treatment he suffered as a kid but just how this man did what he did with no conscience no emotion, just did it really got to me.
His claims about being a contract killer and working for the mafia have been debunked years ago. He killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related.
I also used his reasoning. When my children were taken from me by my ex-wife, I purposely would forget about them to save myself the pain. It worked. I used this method for years.
The guy grew up in the Holland Gardens in Jersey City NJ. My farther knew both him and his brother Joe. My ole man didn't have it any easier then either one of them. He would later go on to serve with valor in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. Upon his return from service he joined the JCPD serving the same community and continued helping others his whole life. Lending any kind of credibility or decency to this murderous psychopath is only evidence of what a sick nation this is becoming.
Too bad 99% of the stuff he talks about has been debunked by the FBI. He killed 5 people, while some police detectives estimate that the real number might be as high as 15, but not higher. Lying attention seeking sociopath. Even Sammy the Bull said he never heard of the guy when he was charged with something Kuklinski claimed had happened. If Bull had admitted to the charges, he would not have gotten 1 day more to the sentence he was already serving. So he had no reason to lie.
By caring more, do you mean the regular beatings he gave both wives in front of the children? The broken noses, jaws and ribs? The several miscarriages he caused? The wife he stabbed? The several family dogs he killed in front of his children? Telling his 7 yr old daughter Merrick that when he kills her mother he would have to kill the rest of the family? Thank god my father didn't care about us like that.😂
@@ThomasJones-ij6hvhe can.still legitly deeply care about his family even though he was a very evil cold person that treated them badly. Not everything is black or white.
This is by far the most incredible, fascinating and horrifying interview and documentary I have ever seen. His honesty is brutal. I don’t think we are used to seeing this kind of unhinged revelation of a killer’s mind without any attempt of minimizing the involvement, guilt and regret. Has he been studied by psychiatrist, psychologists to gain insight into his personality traits? Is he the psychopath and sociopath at the same time? Is this a case of naturally born to be evil or made to be a killer by the conditions of his upbringing? Of both?

You’ve never watched Ed Kemper interviews I guess. Watch those. He’s actually a genius and the reason there’s a profiling program. The nature vs nurture argument is an ever going debate. However I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the perfectly horrible combination of both, but always there seems to be the component of a horribly abusive and demeaning mother of a male child.
The murder he claimed to have done with a crossbow in the middle of the city is a lie, as many others. A murder on a innocent man walking down the street shoot with a crossbow would be huge news. But no one have ever heard about it. He lied so much.
Have you watched the Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam? He does a great job methodically debunking his claims with several videos containing hours of information.✌️
This man didn't even know what family life was like until he met his wife and saw how family really can be and I have all kinds of family but they're never there I'm never included and I'm treated like crap but would never become a killer
He likes to think he is a born monster,but he is a created monster......the right kind of personality type the meats the type of life and upbringing that create this person you see
Making no judgments at any personal level you can't take away from this honest account. I'm not disregarding the pain of others. I've lost people also. Richard has given a whole new meaning to biblical interpretation. It is better to give than to receive. I had never thought of that 'teaching' in those terms.
The saying its the Ouiet ones u got to watch comes to mind when i think of him. His parents made him so cold to the point were he didnt feel anything. That man who u see being load dont worry me its people who keep all there pain inside without u seeing it in them who can be dangerous . The actor who played him in the film iceman should of got a oscar he nailed all his manerisems down to a tea
That’s a perfect observation. He’s cool, calm and collected. He’s quiet but lethal. He frightens me when he keeps his eyes on the interviewer for split second too long.

I totally agree about the actor who played the "Iceman" . Dude was perfect for the part and did a (what word describes it?) brutal, intense, and "Oscar worthy" portrayal of the man.
@@harrypalmer291 he a his a great actor , was good in broadwalk empire. and played zad in the new supper man film and his playing him again in the new Flash movie comeing out.

He was telling tall tales to an extent. He was doing life so he thought he was getting over by lying about things he wasn’t tried for. His involvement with Roy Demeo was a lie.
@@Blacksheep-Ba-Ba He claims he did shit with Roy demeo in late 83 thing is Roy was dead already. It’s not like I know secrecy FBI data it’s fact that’s all over the internet.
Michael… what you don’t realize about this interview is that Richard began to get very vague not long into the interview because Richard caught on to the fact that the man interviewing him was wearing a wire and was being told to ask specific questions. When Richard discovered this he became angry and basically shut down and became vague with his answers . You can see the change if you know what to look for .
The Darkness Underneath podcast on youtube does a great job methodically going through his claims. He has several videos containing hours of information.✌️
Francine I agree. I mean......and the scarier part is that there are some out there that are even more dangerous that we will never know about.. think of all the rage and bad intentions this man kept in his head. Then you look around people on the corner or something wonder what their intentions are. This world can be a scary place.✌️💪♥️
Believe it or not, I know a guy who knew this man very well. In fact, they were friends. To this day, he has no clue how he walked away from a man who seemed to kill without thought, on a whim and with zero regard, even if he knew the person he was going to kill. When Kuklinski died in prison, there seemed to be this final sigh of relief in knowing that there was no chance for him to kill again.
He walked away because he conducted himself as a man around him. And clearly paid any debts he owed. Smart Man. That stare Richard does here at 25.58 mark of the video. Is bone chilling.
@JM-fy7vh I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. If you know anything about this man, it's that he would often kill on a whim. With no clear motivation. This man often said himself that there were many times that killed for no clear reason or to just try something new. My friend was never in debt to him, and as far as I know, he wasn't connected either. They had mutual friends and ran in similar circles, so they eventually became friends. My friend didn't know his wife or other close friends so he could have easily disappeared at any time, and no one would ever know or ask questions. It also seemed like the only people Kuklinski would never kill were people that his wife knew and close friends of his family. People who would be noticed if they went missing. According to the Kuklinski "MO" my friend was the ideal Iceman victim. Thankfully, it just never happened. Kuklinski was, in my opinion, a different breed of mob guy hit man. I think that he was basically a mob-connected serial killer.
Stone Cold Steve Austin originally based his "Stone Cold" character/persona on this guy when he was debuting the "Stone Cold" gimmick. Kind of a neat little fact.
Absolutely no feelings. He was made this way by his parents. Believe me I know exactly how he feels or not. Good guys always come in last always. He is 100000% correct. Machiavelli said this 500 years ago. Totally destroy your enemy.....
Curtis. Yes he does have some sort of emotions in him. He did love his family. Maybe under more positive circumstances his life could have went a complete different way. Meaning if he had loving and caring parents.
They ignore the truth and perpetuate the lies. Apparently a wife beating, child abusing, scumbag who was so bad at murder that he was easily convicted of arguably the only five murders he committed, doesn't make a good enough story.
There’s plenty of people who grow up in a physically and emotionally abusive home who don’t turn out to be mass murderers. In fact, a number of those people turn out to be pretty successful adults and parents in raising a good family, and having a good career.
"He was a predator of human beings". Bro he was a hitman..plain and simple. Give the man a little more credit than that. Not that it's an excuse to kill anyone..but he was doing a job sadly.

@@ThomasJones-ij6hvactually incorrect. The only people that say he was lying are former mobsters that turned State witness. I can't find anything official that states this guy was lying. This man for sure killed about 15 people. Idk about 100 but he's for sure credited with about 15 kills.
@@dman7626 I have been following him since his arrest. I have watched and read the interviews and both books multiple times. 20 years ago I saw an interview with Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated his claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back. So starting from the beginning so called journalists never did their job. Any of the three interviews he gave were based on his claims only, nobody fact checked them. In One of the interviews he claimed to be part of a hit squad with men who were in jail at the time. That was very easy to look up. The last book written about him by Philip Carlo had to have retractions printed after the first printing. I don't base anything off of mafia rats like Gravano and Franzese, my opinion was formed long before they showed up on UA-cam.
He has told so many lies he couldn't keep them straight. He has described 3 seperate first murders. How is that possible? All his major mafia hits, Castellano, Galante and Demeo are all solved and he wasn't involved. I understand Wikipedia can be changed but look up Kuklinski. I believe it's the 6th or 7th reference listed that gives an article with FBI agent Smith that you can look up. He was one of the FBI agents who investigated him and believes that the very most he might have killed 10 people. He has stated Kuklinski ,once in prison would read old articles in magazines and when he came across and unsolved murder he would claim it. He claimed the Demeo hit, but the papers never listed that a chandelier was placed over his body in the trunk and Kuklinski couldn't tell him that fact. He also claimed killing three men in a van in Georgia who cut him off but authorities believe there were multiple shooters and he couldn't name the caliber used.
The Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information. I found it about a year ago and I was impressed with the amount of research he did. He even has the video clip of Detective McCabe. Check it out if you like. I still go with 5 kills, never a hitman and he never worked for the mafia.✌️
This is one of the best documentaries on a killer ever created.. great editing narrating, sound, music etc.. I want to see more of these kinds can someone recommend any for me?
These videos are between 20 and 30 years old. His claims about being a contract killer and working for the mafia have been debunked years ago.
@@ThomasJones-ij6hv but still interesting.. this means not only he a killer but also a pathological lier as well.
@@ujayet True. Regardless of how many murders, he was a scumbag who gave regular beatings to both wives in front of the children. I saw an interview with his daughter Merrick who stated her mother got paid handsomely for each interview and both books so it gave him another reason to lie.

Thats so true the harder you try to mind your own business the more people show up to mess with you
He made up alot of stories in which he was minding his own business and people messed with him. 95% of his claims have been debunked for years, he killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related.
@@moonsoon1038 in 1972 he claimed to tie a man up in a cave . Set a video camera up and leave. He came back a week later and on tape was a horde of man-eating cave rats devouring the man. Do you believe that? What a dope. Please direct me to one source of man eating cave rats in the Northeast, in 1984 I bought a top of the line camcorder that could record for 90 minutes and that was with turning the tape over at 45 minutes. He must of invented lithium batteries and the digital format decades before everyone else.
He has described 3 seperate first kills. One when he was 14 and beat his bully to death. One when he was 18 and lit a man on fire who insulted him in a bar. One when he was 25 and used a pool cue to beat a man to death who insulted him. So Dopey, explain to me how he could have three seperate first murders?
@@timchamberlin9280 Kuklinski has nothing to do with the mafia.
@@timchamberlin9280 do you like true crime?
wow shock horror, who'd have thought I psycho murderer wouldn't be honest 😂 you slowy
My mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and beat me mercilessly as a child, was bullied none stop through all 12 years of school, and yet I didn't take a violent path.
We all choose our path, we are responsible for the choices we make, nobody else is.
Everyone deals with violence differently.
My life was a non stop nightmare, my loving father was my saving grace.
Even if Kuklinksi did not lie about many murders, hey may still have one or two mental illnesses like psychopathy and paranoia that you dont have.
its now known that some people have underdeveloped parts in the brain and in some cases they dont have such strong feelings as others. if you pair this condition with his upbringing you have the perfect storm. imagine dont having fear when you get bullied, this would mean that you start fighting wich stops it and then you learn about the power of violence etc. etc. its super complex.
That just makes you a p*ssy not a hero lol
exactly. now imagine NOT having your saving grace, chances you become like Richard would rise exponentialy. dont compare yourself to him since you haven't experienced the exactly same life he did.
Well I bet it affected you. Not all abused kids become killers, but a lot of killers were abused. It messes with your mind. You had someone, that makes a big difference. I've had several abused friends and all nice people, but all were negatively affected by the abuse.
You know his parents were messed up severely when both two offspring’s went to prison for murder and died in prison.
Wow. Great Point ! 💯💯
Something they don't cover in this documentary but a later one in 2022 ("Very Scary People" with Donnie Wahlberg) is Richard had a third brother who was beaten to death by their father when Richard was around seven or eight years old. The brother died in the hospital. When the police and doctors inquired of the death, Richard's father had threatened to murder the family if they snitched on him. So the story that was told to the police was some mysterious group of hoodlums ganged up on the kid, beat him to death for kicks, then took off into the sunset.
@@r.b.ratieta6111 not 1 shred of proof of "Florio" has ever been found.
Don't forget, His oldest brother Florian was beaten to death by their father. Richard couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 when it happened.

It always struck me as crazy how likeable he is. He has a calming energy about him, despite the very obvious activity going on behind his eyes. You'd really never think he was out doing all of that, chainsawing limbs and everything. He seems like the kind of guy who watches the Sunday game in his bath robe
Yeah, I think there's a charm and charisma that he almost needed to influence all around him. Seems like he can charm you or scare you with a flip of a switch.
He did nothing like that he killed a few people never cut no one up he thinks he is Roy Demo no he was a cutter check him out. .

When he was asked how he feels about killing he said " I don't; it doesn't bother me."
But no one asked whether it bothered him. He was simply asked how he felt about it.
My guess is it absolutely bothered him but he had to deny it to survive.
Did we watch the same video? He is clearly crying at the end.
They didn’t even talk about his older brother…..the suffering that this man endured as a young person and a boy made him what he was. He still knew it was wrong. But it is so important to make sure we as adults raise our children to be positive products of society. My condolences to the victims and their families my condolences to the family of Richard as well.
If he knew it was wrong why didn't he get help. And how do you raise children to be positive if you excuse adult behaviour that is not just criminal but as close to evil as you can get. You must be good - but if you can't be good it's OK to torture someone else???
@@alpetterson9452 i definitely do not condone this type of behavior. Not sure where that was said. There is usually a trauma that happens to make a person think the way they do.

@@thehotnickles9458 Trauma is hardly an excuse. He was Un-traumatic enough to avoid the law for years and to bring up a family. So trauma doesn't apply unless it's used as a pretty maliable excuse.

Those are the versions he gave for his first "first" murder. His second first murder occurred when he was 18, he was in a bar, he got insulted, in later on discovered the man passed out in his car so he got a gas can which apparently he keeps with him and let him on fire.

He also loved making up stories about being a contract killer and working for the mafia.
Don't fall for it. He terrorized his family as well.
He abused his wife his daughters suffered because of that
What are you saying is immeasurable?
I’m not sure why they overdubbed Park Dietz voice in the interview with someone else asking the same questions but I wish they hadn’t. Parks voice and the way he questioned Richard made the interview far more dynamic and interesting. They had a unique back and forth that made a more visceral feeling to the audience.
Dr Dietz testified for the prosecution in the Scott Kologi trial (2020). It can be seen on UA-cam. He was questioned by the defense attorney about the iceman interviews. He was trying to discredit the Doctor by showing he was easily fooled. Dr Dietz testified he repeatedly told the producers of the HBO documentary that Kuklinski was lying but they ignored him.

This is by far the most incredible, fascinating and horrifying interview and documentary I have ever seen. His honesty is brutal. I don’t think we are used to seeing this kind of unhinged revelation of a killer’s mind without any attempt of minimizing the involvement, guilt and regret. Has he been studied by psychiatrist, psychologists to gain insight into his personality traits? Is he the psychopath and sociopath at the same time? Is this a case of naturally born to be evil or made to be a killer by the conditions of his upbringing? Of both?
His claims about being a contract killer and working for the mafia have been debunked years ago. He killed 5 people, 3 to rip off and 2 to silence and none were mafia related.
The Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information.

The murder he claimed to have done with a crossbow in the middle of the city is a lie, as many others.
A murder on a innocent man walking down the street shoot with a crossbow would be huge news.
But no one have ever heard about it. He lied so much.
Have you watched the Darkness Underneath podcast on UA-cam? He does a great job methodically debunking his claims with several videos containing hours of information.✌️
everything he said is true and you know it. ice was the real deal
@@timmyshore3755 😅😅
@@timmyshore3755 My goodness, I really hope you're young. 🤦♂
Ruthless and very sad!
This man didn't even know what family life was like until he met his wife and saw how family really can be and I have all kinds of family but they're never there I'm never included and I'm treated like crap but would never become a killer
Is there a 'Criterion' type release of the full 17 HOURS of video they interviewed him⁉️ That would be EXTREMELY interesting to see.
He even kills his gum. Cold chewin
25:25 And that's how the Iceman saved Christmas.
Great comedy. Bravo!
That’s not funny, I mean this man…😂🤣😂🤣😂🎄Nah, that’s funny AF!!!!! Bravo, bravo!!!
Better to give than to receive 🤪
He likes to think he is a born monster,but he is a created monster......the right kind of personality type the meats the type of life and upbringing that create this person you see
“everything” starts at home.
EVERYTHING.
Making no judgments at any personal level you can't take away from this honest account. I'm not disregarding the pain of others. I've lost people also. Richard has given a whole new meaning to biblical interpretation. It is better to give than to receive. I had never thought of that 'teaching' in those terms.
The 8th commandment, thou shall not lie. He broke that 97% of the time.
The saying its the Ouiet ones u got to watch comes to mind when i think of him. His parents made him so cold to the point were he didnt feel anything. That man who u see being load dont worry me its people who keep all there pain inside without u seeing it in them who can be dangerous . The actor who played him in the film iceman should of got a oscar he nailed all his manerisems down to a tea
That’s a perfect observation. He’s cool, calm and collected. He’s quiet but lethal. He frightens me when he keeps his eyes on the interviewer for split second too long.
Very True Quote(💯), Just reminds ppl how to treat ppl cause one day God Forbid they pick on Wrong Person(Pick Wrong Battle/Person to mess with) than BOOM! All that's tormenting them on the Inside comes to Surface.
I totally agree about the actor who played the "Iceman" . Dude was perfect for the part and did a (what word describes it?) brutal, intense, and "Oscar worthy" portrayal of the man.
@@harrypalmer291 he a his a great actor , was good in broadwalk empire. and played zad in the new supper man film and his playing him again in the new Flash movie comeing out. He should of got a oscar for the iceman portrayal. And should of got a award for his role in board walk empire . Watch a few of his films of his and all were good 👍
Michael Shannon 😮😮
He was telling tall tales to an extent. He was doing life so he thought he was getting over by lying about things he wasn’t tried for. His involvement with Roy Demeo was a lie.
he whacked roy
How do you know
He didnt kill Roy. Its a lie. FBI agents even exposed him for not being involved in Roys murder
@@Blacksheep-Ba-Ba He claims he did shit with Roy demeo in late 83 thing is Roy was dead already. It’s not like I know secrecy FBI data it’s fact that’s all over the internet.
Michael… what you don’t realize about this interview is that Richard began to get very vague not long into the interview because Richard caught on to the fact that the man interviewing him was wearing a wire and was being told to ask specific questions. When Richard discovered this he became angry and basically shut down and became vague with his answers . You can see the change if you know what to look for .
His wife knew. She is full of it
Yes he kept saying we?
But I can't just changed yesterday. That's painful
"Annoyed that i couldnt put the wagon together." Jesus bro
I know hes a monster but I really enjoy listening to him, also feel kinda sorry for him cuz of his childhood
Rich use to throw cats alive in a incinerator
He could have been an actor ..probably.
I fell in love with him.
@@rebeccayoung6344 That's a bit radical.
@@rebeccayoung6344 😂❤
I watched this when I was In Junior high school. Always fascinated me. Rip legend
The Darkness Underneath podcast on youtube does a great job methodically going through his claims. He has several videos containing hours of information.✌️
He's not resting in peace.
I hope he is not
No one knows to say one way or the other .
The Iceman movie was great. That's why I'm here.
Good Morning Sam ..Thanks NYPD
I wouldn,t be surprise if there was more like him out there
Francine I agree. I mean......and the scarier part is that there are some out there that are even more dangerous that we will never know about.. think of all the rage and bad intentions this man kept in his head. Then you look around people on the corner or something wonder what their intentions are. This world can be a scary place.✌️💪♥️
100% there is
Yes there is lots like him.i was married to a Vietnam veteran whom was the same.
I would
You won’t understand until you are a victim of gang stalking
Believe it or not, I know a guy who knew this man very well. In fact, they were friends. To this day, he has no clue how he walked away from a man who seemed to kill without thought, on a whim and with zero regard, even if he knew the person he was going to kill. When Kuklinski died in prison, there seemed to be this final sigh of relief in knowing that there was no chance for him to kill again.
He walked away because he conducted himself as a man around him. And clearly paid any debts he owed. Smart Man. That stare Richard does here at 25.58 mark of the video. Is bone chilling.
@JM-fy7vh I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. If you know anything about this man, it's that he would often kill on a whim. With no clear motivation. This man often said himself that there were many times that killed for no clear reason or to just try something new. My friend was never in debt to him, and as far as I know, he wasn't connected either. They had mutual friends and ran in similar circles, so they eventually became friends. My friend didn't know his wife or other close friends so he could have easily disappeared at any time, and no one would ever know or ask questions. It also seemed like the only people Kuklinski would never kill were people that his wife knew and close friends of his family. People who would be noticed if they went missing. According to the Kuklinski "MO" my friend was the ideal Iceman victim. Thankfully, it just never happened. Kuklinski was, in my opinion, a different breed of mob guy hit man. I think that he was basically a mob-connected serial killer.
@@RumbleFish69Tell more lies, Mr. Weirdo? 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
His wife knew he was not a legitimate business man..she was in denial.
Not understanding how one can state they dont have a choice. Especially from someone who seems so aware.
He Got Emotional At The End ❤
Stone Cold Steve Austin originally based his "Stone Cold" character/persona on this guy when he was debuting the "Stone Cold" gimmick. Kind of a neat little fact.
Not even remotely true
Absolutely no feelings. He was made this way by his parents. Believe me I know exactly how he feels or not. Good guys always come in last always. He is 100000% correct. Machiavelli said this 500 years ago. Totally destroy your enemy.....
He's not sorry for kill those people, he sorry for hurting his family. The book is a great read...tell you alot of his life
the only thing he's sorry for is getting caught .
Curtis. Yes he does have some sort of emotions in him. He did love his family. Maybe under more positive circumstances his life could have went a complete different way. Meaning if he had loving and caring parents.
@@fredajordan5704 he loved them that much he beat them and his wife daily. He's full of shit when it comes to his family.
You couldn’t win the leafs the cup Cujo
Very interesting doc but it will change you forever
I don’t know about a placid family existence. Dude was a monster at home too.
They ignore the truth and perpetuate the lies. Apparently a wife beating, child abusing, scumbag who was so bad at murder that he was easily convicted of arguably the only five murders he committed, doesn't make a good enough story.
@@ThomasJones-ij6hvyou know nothing
I read a book about him . HE did gamble BIG TIME was motivated by money
ive heard that before to
There’s plenty of people who grow up in a physically and emotionally abusive home who don’t turn out to be mass murderers. In fact, a number of those people turn out to be pretty successful adults and parents in raising a good family, and having a good career.
You have no right to speak about something you know nothing about. It's insulting to those who have lived what you only talk about.
"He was a predator of human beings". Bro he was a hitman..plain and simple. Give the man a little more credit than that. Not that it's an excuse to kill anyone..but he was doing a job sadly.
But he also killed about 50 homeless people... before his "work" for Gambino.
Kill 100 people for money and everybody wanna call you a Hitman smh
😅
@@AthleticVademecum I think the guy is full of shit. Why would the mob pay 6 figure sums to have folk whacked when they have killers on the payroll who would have to do it simply because they were asked?
@@Barneybhoy Your only repeating what you heard on a channel you most likely subscribed to, open your mind and ask yourself some questions if your into this topic, this is all about curiosity of someone else's life anyways.
@@ericlloyd7981 doesn’t matter where I heard it the point still stands. Open my mind to what exactly?
They studied these interviews when making the hit show The Sopranos. This is why Tony Soprano has similar mannerisms and such. Now you know!
46 minutes out of a 17 hour interview. Where that full vid at?
HBO edited it how they saw fit, which was to make his lies seem as believable as possible.
I remember watching the movie about him on Netflix. It was good.
Which movie???
@@Chelimo_Scorpion The Iceman - Michael Shannon
At least he was a good Dad …unbelievable
He wanted everything for his children and wife that he Never had or experienced…They later had to turn on him and say he was bad at home so people wasnt scared of them
@@cristianviljevac3851 Jesus what a difficult but strategic decision to make.
It all stars at home, there is no one to blame here but his abusive alcoholic father. People are not born as killers, they are made into killers over time. You can’t be normal growing up in a crazy environment.
He was like that because of genetics and.up bringing
True👍
Bollocks he led 2 lives he knee rite from wrong he chose to do the things he did
@@Votereform81 The lack of love. Every man and woman was born with the light and life of Christ. The Mosaic law arouses criminal behavior when we choose and favorite certain people. Its a generational thing started by the forbidden fruit. The knowledge of good and evil was the serpent's fruit/tool.
This is so sad he's gone on to his reward now.
He was a big liar ,even the author admitted he never did a good job vetting his stories and it was proven he never was involved in the mafia and he didn't kill all the people he claimed.
I know he was the Basest of the bad. But I feel very sorry for him. I also know he is gone because this was many years ago. But I still feel sorry for him
What you meen he is gone?you mean he is died?
@@mohammedkaddih-yt2rvyes I think he died from the cause of death
@@mohammedkaddih-yt2rvhe died in 2006 or something
