Polifrone nabbed Kuklinski in a joint operation by the office of the New Jersey attorney general and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. “He was coldhearted - ice-cold like the devil. “I’ve met hundreds of bad guys, but Kuklinski was a totally different type of individual,” he tells The Post. The film brought back disturbing memories for Polifrone, now 66 and retired, who was assigned to the case in the summer of 1985.
Polifrone’s role in the story is dramatized in Ariel Vromen’s new movie, “The Iceman,” released today.
His testimony finally put the gargantuan 6-foot-4 gangland murderer behind bars. That situation didn’t arise because the streetwise New Jersey cop gathered enough evidence before Kuklinski got suspicious. If he’d pulled out that nasal spray, I’d have to protect myself.” “I knew that I was somewhere on his hit list. “No matter where I went with him, I wore this leather jacket with a pocket sewn inside containing a small-caliber weapon,” recalls Polifrone, who gained his target’s confidence and taped dozens of their conversations.
#ICEMAN KILLER VICTIMS SERIAL#
Undercover agent Dominick Polifrone was never more on his guard than during the 18 months he built up a case against the so-called Iceman - after all, serial killer Richard Kuklinski’s favored method was to use a nasal spray bottle and spritz cyanide into his victims’ faces. Cold-blooded serial killer Richard Kuklinski (in sunglasses) is surrounded while in custody on Dec.
