He said: “We share a common backyard with [her] dog.
Hours before Gaal was killed, she had gone out with friends and returned to the home around midnight.
Police said that she had told her younger son that she was going out to watch a show – but she went on a date with another man.
Sources told the New York Post that Gaal sat alone for 40 minutes at a bar in Queens before returning to her home.
Authorities are currently combing through surveillance footage and pulling receipts from the places that she visited.
Cops said Gaal knew the people she was hanging out with and they are being quizzed as part of the probe.
SATURDAY, APRIL 16
Cops investigating the footage said around 4:30am, a person can be seen rolling the bag down the sidewalk.
Officials said: “[Police] actually traced it backward from the scene to the home."
The mysterious assailant was seen dragging the bag – hours before it was discovered by a walker.
BODY FOUND
Cops reportedly believe the man killed Gaal in the basement of her home, put her in a duffel bag, and dumped her body half a mile away.
The blood-soaked bag and her remains were discovered by Glenn Van Nostrand in Forest Park.
His two dogs led him to the discovery and helped cops find a fresh blood trail.
The dog walker told the New York Post that he thought at first the slain body may have been a mannequin.
He said: “It didn’t look very fleshy. It was more like a crash test dummy.
“I thought it was maybe some equipment being used for something. I didn’t think anything of it.”
Cops didn't find any ID on Gaal when they discovered the bag.
CHILLING TEXT
Gaal’s alleged killer reportedly threatened her husband Howard Klein after she had been stabbed.
Police said he messaged: “Your whole family is next.”
Klein was reportedly out-of-town when Gaal was killed.
It’s not known precisely when the threatening message was sent.
PERSON OF INTEREST IDENTIFIED
On April 18, cops told Pix11 that they have identified a person of interest relating to the chilling case.
Officers say that the individual was known to Gaal.
Police have also been retrieving potential evidence from her home, including an iMac.
Cops had already quizzed the couple’s son Leo, 13, who was thought to be at their home. He was later released.
He told officers that he didn’t know where his mom was.
No arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
Cops have not issued any charges.
Years before her death, cops said Klein had previously reported Gaal missing.
She went on a nighttime stroll on May 29 2020 and wasn't at home when Klein woke up.
