The suspect in the dismemberment of a mother discovered in a blood-soaked duffel bag left a message for her husband warning him that his “whole family is next.”
Glenn Van Nostrand, a dog walker, discovered the remains of Orsolya Gaal, 51, while taking his dog for a walk in Queens, New York, on Saturday.
Coroners have revealed that the mother of two was stabbed more than 60 times during the horrific attack that k*illed her.
Cops are now looking into video that appears to show a mysterious figure lugging the duffel bag down the street.
Her death was caused by sharp force injuries to the neck, according to reports.
Knife wounds on her hands and inside her fingers were also discovered, as well as injuries to her neck, torso, and left arm, according to police.
Mrs. Gaal told her son she was going to watch a show, but instead met up with a man, according to police.
Officers investigating the case believe the man murdered her in her home’s basement and stuffed her body into a duffel bag before dumping her body half a mile away.
The alleged k*iller then allegedly texted his victim’s husband, Howard Klein.
“Your entire family is next,” the text allegedly said.

Mr. Klein was away when his wife was murdered.
The alleged ki*ller’s threats come as police continue to follow up on leads in order to piece together everything Mrs. Gaal did the night she died.
“She goes out,” a source told the New York Post. We’re collecting video and receipts from places where she goes out with friends.
“[Then] around 4:30 a.m. [Saturday], you see this [duffel bag] being rolled down the sidewalk from multiple cameras…
“We need to find out if she met any mysterious strangers along the way.”
Mrs Gaal allegedly had knife wounds on her hands and inside her fingers, as well as injuries to her neck, torso, and left arm, according to police.
According to the source, they were planning to question the people she was out with on Friday night.
The discovered duffel bag was allegedly leaking blood, and the trail led back to Ms. Gaal’s home, which was about a half-mile away and where her 13-year-old son was alone.
According to the New York Post, the boy was handcuffed and led away by police before being questioned and then released.
The victim’s husband, Howard Klein, and their 17-year-old son were said to be out of state.
However, police indicated that they were on their way back to New York.
The two men, officials said, are “people of interest” in the case, those with inside knowledge told the Post.
Neighbors in the area were shocked by the gruesome discovery and described feeling sick after discovering the body.
Others expressed concern about walking in the neighborhood at night with a body discarded on the side of the road.
“It’s freaky,” resident Linda Gorniaczyk exclaimed at the crime scene.
“As a woman, it’s terrifying. You hear about true crime and don’t want to see it in real life, especially in your own neighborhood.”
“She was pretty calm and sociable,” said Nicola Blankson, who knew the victim.
“She was out there living her life and taking care of her children as any mother would.”
“This is the last thing I’d expect to see when I wake up in the morning.” It’s devastating to wake up to this.”
