Kuklinski learned many of these tactics from fellow hitman Robert Pronge, known as "Mister Softee" because he drove an ice cream truck as his cover. His resume for killing included guns, ice picks, hand grenades, crossbows and chainsaws, but his favorite method of murder, he'd later proudly confess, was a nasal-spray bottle filled with cyanide. He also worked for Newark's DeCavalcante crime family and the Gambinos of New York City.Īt a towering 6'5", weighing an eventual 300 pounds, Kuklinski had an imposing and fearsome bearing. He soon became the Genovese crime family's indispensable hitman, known for thoroughly disposing of his victims - removing their teeth and fingers, or dumping them off bridges, in rivers or down mine shafts. He earned Mafia respect at age 18 by efficiently and unquestioningly killing a random man selected for him on the sidewalk. Kuklinski's criminal activities included robbery, hijackings and selling pornographic films, but murder was his forte.
