What Orsolya Gaal Video Reveals About Her Murder

Surveillance footage has apparently captured the moment a murdered mom-of-two was dragged down a street in a duffel bag in Queens, before being dumped near a park half a mile away.

The grainy images, released this week, were caught by a neighbor's security camera and show a man apparently hauling Orsolya Gaal's remains away from her home on foot.

Hungarian Gaal, who was 51, lived with her husband and two teenage sons in Juno Street, a quiet neighborhood in Queens, New York, at their $2 million home, where she was reportedly stabbed almost 60 times.

Detectives will now be examining the footage to see what it reveals about the person seen pulling the bag; his body shape, his height, and his strength—which allowed him to seemingly drag her body for some distance.

It comes as anonymous police sources claimed someone used the victim's own cell phone to send a chilling text to her husband reading, "Your whole family is next," according to local news channel PIX11.

The Daily Mail also reported Gaal's husband had received a text, but said it read: "Your wife sent me to jail some years ago... I'm back."

However, high-ranking police officials told CBS New York they have not seen the texts for themselves.

And the New York Police Department would not be drawn on the existence of the texts when questioned by Newsweek.

Gaal's husband, Howard Klein, and oldest son Jamie, were out of town on the night of her murder, reportedly visiting colleges. Her 13-year-old son Leo, whose bedroom is said to be on the top floor of the home, was questioned by police but later released without charge on Saturday.

The duffel bag was discovered by a passerby just after 8.10 a.m. on Saturday morning near Forest Park, and police told Newsweek that officers followed a trail of blood back to Gaal's home.

Police sources told the New York Post that Gaal had been stabbed 58 times, and she was found to have defensive wounds on her hands and fingers.

The medical examiner has yet to officially determine Gaal's cause of death.

When asked by Newsweek to provide further updates on their investigation and whether investigators would publicly release the video footage of what appears to be a suspect, an New York Police Department spokesperson replied: "At this time, there remains no arrests nor identified suspects.

"The NYPD has not disseminated video of the incident nor aftermath at this time. The investigation remains active and ongoing."

The murder comes amid fears of a crime wave in New York City, with much of the focus being given to the increase in violent crime within the subway system.

According to NYPD figures, previously provided to Newsweek, in 2021 the city had 461 felony assaults within the subway systems—an increase of 100 when compared to 2020.

And hours after an attack on the New York subway left 16 injured last week, entrepreneur and former The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel took to Instagram to weigh in on the state of her former hometown.

"This subway situation is terrifying and New York is not what it used to be," Frankel said, in a video posted to her Instagram account.
