“I’m Back”: Mom-Of-Two ‘Met Up With Another Man’ Who Killed Her In The Basement Of Her Home
“She was outside with the dog.”
Orsolya Gaal was going out to watch a show, or so her youngest son believed what she was doing. The woman, however, turned out to be meeting up with another man, according to NYPD reports. The same man had murdered her in the basement of her home before disposing of her body near a walking path in Queens.
Her body was found on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills’ walking path after it was dragged out in a wheeled bag by the perpetrator.
The husband had reportedly received a chilling text message from the murderer through her phone, “Your family is next.”
Based on the footage, the man was caught pulling the body bag around 4.30 in the morning on Saturday. The bag left a bloody trail, and when found, officers could not find any ID on her body. They simply followed the trail to her home, based on their report to New York Daily News.
They made an “emergency entry” into the house and found her youngest son, 13, on the top floor.
Her youngest did not know where she was, while her husband, known as Howard Klein by his neighbors, was reportedly traveling with their oldest, based on their Twitter posts. Their youngest had also chirped the same thing. The two are currently referred to as “persons of interest” by the officers.
Her neighbor John Blankson recounted seeing her walking her dog in her yard.
“The sun came out; Friday was quite nice,” the man shared. “We were outside. We didn’t actually speak to her – we were just chilling outside – but she was outside with the dog.”
Her youngest was dragged in for questioning but later released after police were sure he didn’t know anything. Neighbors have recalled Gaal was a “pretty calm, sociable” individual. The family had been living in the neighborhood for around nine years.
A source speaking to New York Post added that Gaal was with her friends on Friday night and told the media outlet, “She knew the people she was out with. We’re talking to them.”
“We also have to figure out, did she meet some mysterious stranger along the way?”
Klein, who’s heading back home with their oldest son, expressed relief that his youngest was okay, “[My son] Leo is safe. Thank God [my son] is safe.”
“There are concerns about our safety. Our lives are at risk,” he had added.
Gaal, who attended Budapest Business School College of International Management and Business, has had several pictures of her trips with the dog to Hungary and several other places. Possibly of Hungarian descent, she also had clips of her mom speaking fluently in it.
Gaal also took part in fundraising for the breast cancer organization Susan G. Komen with her youngest son in honor of her mother, who passed away from cancer in 2010.
One of the two who found the body recalled believing it was equipment of sorts in the beginning. Queens resident Van Nostrand was walking with two hunting dogs when he saw the duffel bag. His dogs were acting weird, pushing him to go check out what was inside.
“To me, it looked like a mannequin,” the 51-year-old recalled the scene. “It didn’t look very fleshy. It was more like a crash test dummy. I thought it was maybe some equipment being used for something. I didn’t think anything of it.”
But then he started seeing all the features and then finally, the blood under it before he finally called the police.
