Up Close and Personal with a Killer When I was finally admitted into the bowels of Trenton State Prison in New Jersey?s capital to interview multiple murderer Richard Kuklinski, a.k.a. ?the Iceman,? it wasn?t at all what I had expected. My assumption was that it would be like the movies. We?d be separated by a shatter-proof glass barrier. We?d communicate through telephone handsets. There would be guards all around watching our every move. But I couldn?t have been more wrong. Clarice Starling had more protection when she visited Dr. Hannibal ?the Cannibal? Lector in The Silence of the Lambs. At least she had bars. And frankly, as a killer, Lector was downright crude compared to the stealth and skullduggery of the Iceman. Lector liked to bite; Kuklinski preferred a cyanide solution administered from a nasal spray bottle. A surprise spritz to the face usually produced a shocked inhalation from the victim, who as a result would die in under a minute. And unless the body was found right away and a savvy medical examiner knew what to look for, the poison would go undetected because cyanide naturally dissipates in the body after two hours. But cyanide was only one of the things I was thinking about on the morning of January 16, 1992, when I arrived for my date with the Iceman.

Thank you very much for this posting! The documentary is extremely interesting both from a criminological and psychological perspective. Would it be possible to download the interview and view it offline?
just frightening how he wasnt violent to his family but the violence of his childhood was mirrored into horrific contract murders.he b/c sociopathic/numb frm his brutal chidhood.dnt hit yr kids pples
wow!! makes you wonder what make us human or not
He was very violent with his family. he beat the crap out of his wife all the time. Nothing wonderful about that. read the book. it tells you the whole story of this mans life.
First of all, do not believe everything you read. That man that you are talking about was my uncle, and he loved his family dearly. I am not condoning what he done, but he loved us.
Sad but extremely powerful.He's truly unique in the annals of human history. Y.J.
This man is one chilling dude..
