On the outside, slain mom Orsolya Gaal and her husband Howard Klein were the perfect couple — with two teenage boys, a stately home in Queens and a strong of sense of family.
Gaal, a striking 51-year-old blonde, regularly flooded her Facebook page with adoring photos of the family of four and a slew of loving old wedding snaps of her and her husband, too.
The family posed together in a selfie on New Year’s Eve — as Gaal declared, “Hoping 2022 will be a great one.”
Their 13-year-old son had posted a YouTube video last month ahead of his bar mitzvah in a tribute to his late grandmother, Debby Klein, who died of breast cancer at 76 when he was only 18 months old.
And their remarkably talented 17-year-old boy was featured in social-media videos playing the piano.
The well-traveled family also vacationed over the years in Paris and Tokyo. More recently, Gaal escaped to various Long Island beaches regularly with her boys amid COVID-19 lockdowns.
Neighbors told The Post that Gaal was devoted to her two children and family.
“She was a lovely lady. Always very attentive to her family, her kids, just an amazing person,” said local Theodora Grafas, who lives behind them.
“I met her parents and sister when they visited,” Grafas said. “I believe they were from Hungary. [Gaal] was kind to people. Super friendly and took care of her kids and family.”
But Gaal’s seemingly perfect life was brutally cut short after she was found stabbed dozens of times and stuffed in a duffle bag Saturday — less than a half-mile from the family’s huge Forest Hills home.
The family are believed to have lived in the Forest Hills home for about a decade, according to online records and neighbors.
Gaal’s husband, who is a partner and founder of RK Equity — an advisory investment firm focused on lithium-ion battery and technology metals — had told The Post he was out of town when the slaying unfolded. Klein was reportedly with the couple’s eldest son touring colleges at the time.
Their youngest boy was seen being taken away in handcuffs from the home shortly after his mom’s body was discovered. He was questioned at the local precinct and then later released, police sources said.
Neighbors’ shock and horror over Gaal’s death came as it was revealed her husband had received an ominous text message in the wake of his wife’s slaying, saying: “Your whole family is next,” according to WPIX.
The killer allegedly accused Gaal of sending him to jail years ago, the outlet said, citing police sources.
Cops haven’t made any arrests in Gaa’ls slaying yet, and no suspects have been identified, either.
