The 1980s in America was a decade of significant change and transformation, marked by a shift towards conservatism, economic growth and technological advancements. The Mafia's traditional sources of income were increasingly challenged by legal competition and government regulation. In this period of fighting for re-establishment, the Gambino family was glad of any helping hand to make ends meet. Enter Richard Leonard Kuklinski. Hired as a professional contract killer, he claimed to have killed over 200 people.
Prof. Eilers and the show’s host examine Kuklinski's modus operandi which gave him the name "The Iceman", his psychological condition, and the extraordinary investigation process which ultimately led to his conviction.
