The NYPD is offering a $3500 reward for information leading to Orsolya Gaal’s murderer.

The Queens mother of two was stabbed 58 times in the basement of her home before her killer placed her body in a duffle bag and left her remains in a nearby park early Saturday morning.

Police followed a trail of blood from the bag that led them about half a mile to Ms Gaal’s family home in an upscale community in Forest Hills.

Ms Gaal’s husband Howard Klein and eldest son Jamie, 17, were out of state at the time of the murder. Her youngest son was at the family home, and has reportedly been ruled out as a suspect.

On Tuesday, posters were put up in the neighbourhood asking for anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 577 8477.

The NYPD has reportedly identified a male who was known to Ms Gaal and had access to her Juno St home as a “person of interest”.

Ms Gaal attended a concert at the Lincoln Centre on Friday night before going to a bar near to her home for 40 minutes.

The killing wasn’t pre-planned, say law enforcement sources

The murder of Orsolya Gaal does not seem to be pre-planned, enforcement sources said, citing the trail of blood left behind by the killer.

“[Detectives] don’t think it was a planned murder. He left a blood trail for five blocks from the house,” a source told The New York Post.

“It was like a trail of bread crumbs. If you want to kill somebody, you try to make it a little cleaner, be a little more prepared. He didn’t go with something to move her body. He took something from the house,” the source added.
