Detectives said Orsolya Gaal, 51, was stabbed to death inside her Forest Hills home a few hours before her body was found roughly a half-mile away by a man walking his two dogs.
According to the New York Post, Gaal was stabbed almost 60 times.
As of Wednesday afternoon, cops were still trying to figure out what the victim had been doing 24 hours prior to her demise. According to the Post, Gaal spent the night out with friends in Manhattan at Lincoln Center and at least one borough bar.
“What happened in the hours leading up to her brutal slaying remains largely a mystery,” the Post wrote.
Police sources have indicated to several publications that detectives believe Gaal knew her assailant, but that the killer did not plan the brutal slaying.
At press time, cops sought to question “a former handyman lover of Gaal who had intimate knowledge of her home—including where the family kept a spare key” to their Juno Street home.
