In this episode of True Crime Daily The Podcast updates: The peaceful neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in New York woke up to the shocking news that a woman’s body had been found in a duffel bag with a trail of blood leading back to her home. Officials identified the victim as 51-year-old Orsolya Gaal. Her throat had been slashed and she was stabbed more than 50 times.
During the investigation, detectives learned that Orsolya had been having a 2-year on-and-off affair with her handyman, David Bonola. The night Orsolya was killed, David allegedly went over to her house to talk to her. The two then reportedly got into an argument.
He was indicted in May 2022 on murder and other charges, and in November, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. A judge sentenced him to 25 years in prison.
Let’s look back at the discussion Rodney Diggs and I had about the heartbreaking case of a mother’s murder that sent shockwaves around a close-knit community.
