THE body of a mother-of-two was found stuffed inside a duffel bag early Saturday morning less than a mile away from her family home.

The woman was found in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York by dogwalker Glenn Van Nostrand, according to the Post.
Van Nostrand reported that his two hounds led him to a hockey duffel bag in Forest Park, where he found Gaal’s body in the fetal position just after 8am. Investigators later reported that the body was still intact and not dismembered.
Once authorities arrived, Van Nostrand’s dogs led the responders to another spot nearby, where patches of fresh blood were reportedly found.
Police said Saturday that the trail of blood led investigators to Gaal’s home on Juno Street, just a half-mile away from the crime scene, according to the New York Daily News.

Gaal’s husband, Howard Klein, was traveling with the couple’s other son, a 17-year-old.
Klein, a businessman, had recently posted on his Twitter about traveling with his oldest son to Portland Oregon — but the post has since been taken down.
Police sources told the Post that Klein and the 17-year-old son are allegedly being considered “persons of interest” in her death.
Both are returning to New York, cops said.
In a phone interview with the outlet, Klein expressed fears for his safety in the wake of his wife’s death.
“There are concerns about our safety,” Klein said. “Our lives are at risk.”
