A hair-trigger temper. A trail of dead bodies. [&#8230;] Renowned forensic psychologist Dr. Park Dietz gets up close, personal and even confrontational with psyche of one of the most dangerous men alive. Bringing together the earlier THE ICEMAN TAPES: CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER and THE ICEMAN: SECRETS OF A MAFIA HITMAN with the newly released Dietz interview, this new special edition, THE ICEMAN INTERVIEWS is the ultimate compendium of the mind of a murderer. Includes Richard &#8220;The Iceman&#8221; Kuklinski&#8217;s riveting on-camera confession, exclusively for HBO, of the murder of police officer Peter Calabro. Making news in February 2003, Kuklinski accepted a plea bargain for a concurrent 30-year term to his 60-year prison sentence and implicated Sammy &#8220;The Bull&#8221; Gravano in the crime. THE ICEMAN INTERVIEWS &#8211; this new special edition is guaranteed to run chills up and down your spine all over again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With minimal creativity you can find these interviews online, but for anyone who&#8217;d like to stay on the right side of the law, we have the DVD in media services.
