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.

Klein told The Post on Saturday that he was on his way home, while repeatedly saying the family’s lives “are at stake.
“There are concerns about our safety, he said. “Our lives are at risk.”
Police said they previously responded to a 911 call at the house after Klein reported his wife missing May 29, 2020. The husband later told the cops his wife had been found.
The couple’s older son also went missing in 2004 but was later found, too, the sources said.
It was unclear if Klein and the boys were at home Sunday or if he and his oldest son had yet been questioned by police from the Forest Hills stationhouse.
??????????????????????????????????????????
I'm on my way out to QUEENS to figure out what the hell is going on with this story. SOMEBODY'S gotta DO IT. https://t.co/2jy49oqPDq— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) April 17, 2022
This story is nuts. The photo of the person pulling the duffle bag is odd- is he carrying something in his arms?
“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,”
I’m suspicious.
I’m betting the husband contracted her killing for whatever reason.
Let me know if it ever happens the other way around. That would be a real mystery.
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.
Sounds like an episode of the Sopranos.
“Police were later spotted swooping in on Gaal’s home. Neighbours said Gaal’s younger son was seen being taken away in handcuffs shortly after the body was found.”
That’s a woman pulling the bag?
That's odd. The younger son is 13.
Kinda. Maybe.
Odd for anyone to kill her and bring the body back to her house.
My mistake so the body went from the house to another location, with a blood trail leading from the house.
Still very odd circumstances.
As the song says, “No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.”
If you’re the perp, would you rather leave her body in her house or some place that could be traced to you?
Especially if the person who hired you wanted her to be found while he was out of town...
Another misleading headline? I don’t believe puttering around in the back yard was the last time she was seen alive. After that she went out with friends.
I’m guessing the person behind the killing didn’t want her body left at the house where the kids would find it.
Unless she just encountered a crazy stranger when she arrived home.
But who would take a body away in a hockey bag?
