Queens mom Orsolya Gaal spotted alive in backyard before body found

The Forest Hills mom found dead in a hockey duffel bag spent some of her final hours puttering around her yard and enjoying a night out — before video caught a mysterious figure lugging her makeshift casket down the street.

Cops are now trying to piece together how Orsolya Gaal, 51, went from a well-to-do, seemingly typical stay-at-home married mom of two to slay victim.

“It’s a mystery,” an NYPD official told The Post on Sunday. “Now it’s a question of piecing together everything she did that night.”

The source said that during Gaal’s final hours Friday, “She goes out with friends.

“We’re pulling video and receipts from those places,” the source said.

“[Then] around 4:30 a.m. [Saturday], you see somebody rolling this [duffel bag] down the sidewalk from multiple cameras,’’ the source said.

“[Cops] actually traced it backward from the scene to the house,” the source said, referring to a blood trail from the bag.

“She knew the people she was out with,’’ the source added of the victim. “We’re talking to them. We also have to figure out, did she meet some mysterious stranger along the way?”

The hockey bag containing her corpse was discovered about four hours after the person appeared on the footage, and cops followed the blood trail from it to the side door of Gaal’s Juno Street home, authorities said.

When police got to the house, officers found Gaal’s 13-year-old son on the top floor of the home, authorities said.

“He stated he lives at the location but does not know where she is,’’ cops said in a statement.

Gaal’s husband, businessman Howard Klein, was reportedly in Portland with the couple’s 17-year-old son on a college hunt at the time she was murdered, according to social-media posts.

A perp who needed to leave a trail so the body would be found while the person who hired the perp was still out of town...?

But who would take a body away in a hockey bag?

I'm going out on a limb here, but my guess is that it would be a total and complete kook, especially given the bag was leaking blood the entire way.

In a since-deleted tweet announcing his recent out-of-state trip with his son, Klein also made a pitch for hedge-funder Bill Browder’s book about Vladimir Putin. “Just landed Portland OR before evaluating Ann Arbor again with my 17-year-old son,” Klein wrote. “Highly recommend ‘Freezing Order’ @Billbrowder a man I’ve followed closely and admired since I started on Wall Street in 1997 broking EMEA & Russian equities to hedge funds like Hermitage.” The book is subtitled “A True Story of Money Laundering, Murder and Surviving Vladimir Putin’s Wrath.”

Radar up on Klein.

Streets in Forest Hills are private ways, not public roads. The only traffic on them is probably only locals, their guests and deliveries. They are deliberately made to obstruct through traffic.

Per LE, husband and sons no longer persons of interest, but they think it’s not a stranger.

A hockey bag seems to be an odd bag to house a body. Does her younger son play hockey? Since Orsolya Gaal was out late with “friends” while her husband was away with their older son, it appears someone was very angry with her, angry enough to kill her. She probably knew her killer.

That pic does not look like an adult. I would ever go so far as to say it resembles at young teen.

I read more and she was home by 11pm. So she didn’t do too late a night on the town. Then her body is being moved at 430am.

I also thought it looked like a boy or small woman. That’s probably why they arrested the younger son (13) , but apparently they’re no longer looking at him as a suspect.

Strange story. Orsolya is a Hungarian version of Ursula, although I don’t know if she was actually from Hungary herself or even had any connection with Eastern Europe. Her husband seems to have been involved in Eastern European dealings, FWIW.

when the husband of the dead wife specifically names his location City and State and where he is going next it sounds an alarm.....he wanted to establish an alibi, where he was, what he was doing, and with who.....check the phone records....

For the family’s sake, I hope no one in it was complicit, but that statement from LE doesn’t rule out their involvement.
