220419 – Killer Sent Chilling Text Messages To Orsolya Gaal’s Husband
The NYPD is offering a $3500 reward for information leading to Orsolya Gaal’s murderer.
The Queens mother of two was stabbed 58 times in the basement of her home before her killer placed her body in a duffle bag and left her remains in a nearby park early Saturday morning.
Police followed a trail of blood from the bag that led them about half a mile to Ms Gaal’s family home in an upscale community in Forest Hills.
Ms Gaal’s husband Howard Klein and eldest son Jamie, 17, were out of state at the time of the murder. Her youngest son was at the family home, and has reportedly been ruled out as a suspect.
On Tuesday, posters were put up in the neighbourhood asking for anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 577 8477.
The NYPD has reportedly identified a male who was known to Ms Gaal and had access to her Juno St home as a “person of interest”.
Ms Gaal attended a concert at the Lincoln Centre on Friday night before going to a bar near to her home for 40 minutes.

Officers stop short of identifying suspect
Investigators said they stopped short of identifying the suspect because they don’t have enough evidence against him and the man could surrender with a lawyer and refuse to answer questions.
Sources told New York Daily News that the suspect had been in Orsolya Gaal’s Tudor-style home and may have done work around the house.
She was also in contact with three men on the night before her death, law enforcement sources added.
The married mother of two, 51, had reportedly been stabbed nearly 60 times by an unknown attacker in her home and her body was dragged and dumped half a mile away.
