The Iceman: Famous Hitman

Conclusion of the Hitman series

Hit-men and other anti social personality types are of great interest to forensic psychologists. Montreal psychologists at the Montreal Philippe Pinel Institution for the criminally insane research this issue very carefully. Pinel is the Montreal hospital for the criminally insane. However, hit-men are not considered insane. They are cold-blooded murders. Montreal hit-men are also part of the mob and recently the gang wars are rampant with the killing of Nicolo Rizzuto and Rizzuto family members.

By the 1980's, serial killer, Richard Kuklinkski, was the leading man in his crime ring. He was involved in drugs, pornography, and gambling as well as contracts for killing on a worldwide level but he also started to get cocky. He was taken more chances, leaving telltale signs behind which led the FBI right to his activities. For example, he left a victim whom he poisoned under a hotel room bed. He poisoned him but he also strangled him so the evidence was more than obvious that this man was murdered.

Kuklinkski was nicknamed Iceman because he killed Louis Masgay in 1981, and froze the body. Two years later he dumped the body in a park after he thawed it out. Kuklinkski was attempting to throw the police off by thinking the murder just happened. Only his plan was foiled as the body was not fully thawed out.

The bodies that were popping up were either business associates of the serial killer or they were last seen with him. At this point Kuklinkski had been under investigation for three years. By 1986, a task force was set up to catch him. An undercover agent reported on Kuklinkski's activities. It then became apparent that Kuklinkski was going to murder the agent and so the task force set up a roadblock in December of 1986 and arrested him. Kuklinkski was sent to trial and convicted of murder. He was also convicted on attempted murder on the life of the agent involved in the case.

Kuklinkski pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two life sentences. Kulklinkski's first opportunity for release would be at the age of 111. Kuklinkski boasted killing over 200 people.

He died in his cell on March 5, 2005 at the age of 70. He never admitted remorse, but was quoted as saying, if he could live his over again he probably would have chosen a different career path.
