Atherton's former arborist has been identified as the woman found stabbed to death in her Menlo Park home.

Kathleen Anne Hughes Anderson, 62, was the arborist for the City of Atherton for 22 years, from November 1989 until her retirement in November 2011. She was the widow of Billy “Andy” Anderson, who owned Dahl Plumbing on Alma Street in Palo Alto. Andy Anderson died in 2007.

Before his death, the two were married for about 30 years and had no children.

Anderson was from Decatur, Illinois, and came to California to attend school in the 1980s, said her brother-in-law, Barry Anderson, who also works for the post office. The couple were regulars at the Alpine Beer Garden in Portola Valley.

Anderson was known for her green thumb at work and at home. Barry Anderson said her garden at her home at 925 Valparaiso Ave. was “amazing.”

Atherton Town Clerk Theresa DellaSanta said Anderson “was very passionate about her work as an arborist.”

“She had a deep passion for landscaping and trees, and she shared that love with many of our town residents by spending time with them in their gardens and giving them insight into tree pruning and planting,” DellaSanta wrote. “It was the little things Kathy did around town that residents remember and came to love about her. Kathy was a beacon of positivity to all who came into contact with her, and her impact on the trees in Atherton will last for many generations to come.”

Police found Anderson stabbed to death in her home on Wednesday (Dec. 12) after receiving a 911 call from Daniel Baggett, a former tenant of Anderson's. Baggett told police to The Post he stopped by at 5 p.m. on Wednesday after driving by and noticing her garbage cans were still on the side of the road a day after garbage collection. He also saw that her bedroom window, which was normally open, was closed, he said.

Baggett said he saw the back door was open and went into the house. He spotted Francis Wolke, 36, of Cincinnati, Ohio, at the top of the stairs. Baggett called 911. Police arrested Wolke on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Was there a connection between the three people?

District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Friday that his office and Menlo Park police are still investigating the connection between Wolke, Baggett and Anderson, if there is one. Wagstaffe said the relationship between Anderson and Baggett was not rosy and that investigators are “digging” into the pasts of the three people to find a connection.

Wolke had an arrest warrant issued by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office for prowling and drug possession from a 2014 case.

While police believe Wolke's current address is in Cincinnati, records indicate he was living in San Francisco in 2014. Wagstaffe said Wolke has not made any statement about why he allegedly murdered Anderson.

Wagstaffe said Anderson died as a result of being stabbed in the head with a “sharp object,” but because the investigation is ongoing, he could not yet identify the object.

Wolke is in prison without bail.

A handyman accused of killing a Jensen Beach woman and then hiding her body in a septic tank has pleaded guilty to murder and will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Keoki Demich, 34, was sentenced to three consecutive life terms Tuesday for the murder of Cynthia Cole earlier this year.

By pleading guilty, prosecutors agreed to waive their notice to seek the death penalty.

Demich will serve three life sentences for first-degree murder, burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault or battery and sexual battery. He was also convicted of third-degree grand theft and grand theft of a motor vehicle.

Cole’s body was found March 5 submerged in the septic tank — about 4 feet underground — after hours of excavation.

The 57-year-old woman had been missing for more than a week after attending the Jammin’ Jensen event in downtown Jensen Beach.

Demich was a longtime handyman for Cole.

According to court documents, Demich hid inside Cole’s shower while waiting for her to return home.

Records show he attacked her, drowned her inside her bathtub and then proceeded to sexually abuse her before burying her inside the septic tank.

Sheriff William Snyder said investigators secured surveillance video that showed Demich walking away from Cole’s car on the night she disappeared.

The sheriff said Cole and Demich had known each other for years.

The body of a Florida woman, who disappeared more than a week ago, had been found inside her septic tank – and her handyman has been arrested for murder.

Police began searching the tank for Cynthia Cole, 57, a few hours after arresting her handyman Keoki Hilo Demich on Friday night.

After several hours of excavation, her body was discovered submerged in the cesspool, buried in her backyard in the 4500 block of NE Skyline Drive in Jensen Beach.

Demich, 34, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Cole, who went by Cyndi, had been missing for over a week and was last seen February 24 at a Jammin Jensen event.

Demich had been hired by Cole to be her handyman for the last few years.

He was the only person investigators were suspicious of after she was reported missing.

‘He made several statements that we know are false so he was charged with second-degree murder,’ said Martin County Sheriff William Snyder.

Snyder added that Ring cameras and security footage near Cole’s home show Demich exiting Cole’s car near Demich’s home in Stuart on the same night when Cole was last seen.

There were several other instances of cameras catching Demich near Cole’s vehicle, according to Snyder.

Cole, pictured, was likely murdered in her home before her body was placed in the septic tank, authorities said

After several hours of digging, they eventually pulled Cole’s body out of the septic tank early Saturday morning.

‘I’ve been doing this 40 plus years. I’ve never seen anything like it,’ Snyder said.

Meanwhile, Snyder said detectives are still collecting evidence and added that Demich could face additional charges.

Evidence collected thus far suggests that Cole was likely murdered in her home before her body was placed in the septic tank.

The body has yet to be positively identified by the medical examiner’s office, however authorities say they have every reason to believe that they discovered Cole’s body.

The body of a missing Florida woman was found in a septic tank behind her home after she was allegedly killed and dumped there by her handyman, according to police.

Keoki Hilo Demich, 34, was charged with murdering Cynthia Cole, 57, who went missing shortly after attending an art festival in Jensen Beach over a week ago, the Martin County sheriff said on Facebook Saturday.

Cops allegedly found doorbell camera footage of Demich leaving Cole’s Jeep near her home the night she was last seen and arrested him on Friday, according to WPBF News.

Deputies searched her property and noticed the top of a septic tank in her backyard was ajar — then looked inside and found Cole’s body submerged in the cesspool, police said.

“I’ve been doing this 40-plus years. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told the outlet.

Police say Demich, who had reportedly worked for Cole for several years, likely murdered her in her home before dropping her into the septic tank.

The San Francisco district attorney on Monday announced an attempted murder charge for the man accused of violently attacking Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in the couple’s California home last week.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that David Wayne DePape, 42, will be charged with residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder and threats to a public official and their family, in addition to attempted murder.

He is scheduled to be arranged on Tuesday and is facing between 13 years and life in prison, according to Jenkins. She also said a motion to detain will be filed for DePape on Tuesday, citing the “obvious and severe public safety risk” he poses to San Francisco and the outer community.

The state charges were announced shortly after the Department of Justice charged DePape with federal assault and attempted kidnapping.

DePape is accused of breaking into the Pelosi’ San Francisco home in the middle of the night on Friday and striking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, causing serious injuries, authorities said.

Paul Pelosi was transported to a hospital, where he underwent surgery to treat a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands.

In a statement Monday evening, Pelosi, who said her family had been “deluged” with messages of concern, prayers and well-wishes, indicated that her husband “is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.”

During the news conference announcing the state charges, Jenkins disclosed new details that shed more light on the early-morning attack, and reiterated information that federal prosecutors included in their affidavit.

In line with previous information, Jenkins told reporters on Monday that DePape “specifically targeted the Pelosi home to confront Speaker Pelosi.” Last week, a source familiar with the investigation told The Hill that before the attack, DePape approached Paul Pelosi and shouted “where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?”

Pelosi was in Washington, DC at the time of the incident.

The district attorney said DePape “forced his way into the home through a rear glass door by breaking the glass,” then traveled up the stairs in the house to the second floor, where he found Paul Pelosi “sleeping in his bed” in a loose -fitting pajama shirt and boxer shorts.

“He woke him up confronting him about the whereabouts of Speaker Pelosi,” Jenkins said, adding that there was no security present at the time at the home.

She said the attack appears to be politically motivated, based on statements and comments DePape made in the house during his encounter with Paul Pelosi.

At some point during the encounter between the two men, Jenkins said Paul Pelosi “attempted to access the elevator in the home, which has a phone” — a detail that was not disclosed in the Justice Department’s charging document.

“The defendant then blocked Mr. Pelosi’s access to that elevator,” Jenkins said.

Federal prosecutors revealed earlier on Monday that the two men were downstairs when officers arrived on the scene, but Jenkins’ account described how they made it from the second floor to the first floor.

“It was at some point after that Mr. Pelosi asked to go to the bathroom, which is where he was able to call 911 from his cellphone. The defendant, realizing that Mr. Pelosi had called 911, took Mr. Pelosi downstairs near the front door of the residence,” Jenkins said.

She then walked through the moment DePape struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

“Two police officers arrived at the front door two minutes after that 911 call. When that door was opened, the defendant was holding his hammer, which Mr. Pelosi appeared to be attempting to control by holding a portion of that hammer. The defendant then pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently struck him in the top of his head. The police then immediately approved the defendant,” Jenkins said.

She noted that DePape brought a second hammer, zip ties, rope and a roll of tape to Pelosi’s home, which the DOJ had previously disclosed.

Jenkins on Monday said it was “very sad to see that we are once again at a point in history where people believe that it’s okay to express their political sentiments through violence.”

“And so I think it really demonstrates that we have to calm things down, we have to decide that we are going to be more respectful as an American society, that it’s okay to disagree. But it certainly is something that has unnerved us all,” she added.

QUEENS, NY– The suspect in the murder of a New York mother of two whose body was found in a duffel bag made his first court appearance late Thursday night, and more details of the grisly crime emerged.

And while 44-year-old David Bonola is being prosecuted for murder, federal immigration authorities are looking into whether he entered the country illegally from his native Mexico 21 years ago and have filed a detainee with the court.

“ICE focuses its civil immigration enforcement priorities on the apprehension and removal of noncitizens who pose a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security,” an ICE spokesperson said.

Prosecutors say the victim, 51-year-old Orsoyla Gaal, let Bonola inside her Forest Hills home in Queens and that the two had an on-again, off-again affair over the past two years.

The prosecution submitted a transcript of Bonola’s taped statement made to police, during which they say he confessed.

Gaal let him in “because she knew him,” but he overstayed his welcome, a prosecutor said, stating that Gaal asked Bonola to “leave multiple times” before he stabbed her nearly 60 times.

“The defendant and victim were known to each other,” assistant district attorney Josh Garland said. “Because she knew him, she let him into the house. He then engaged her in a verbal dispute and unfortunately she had to ask him to leave multiple times.”

Prosecutors also revealed Bonola allegedly slashed Gaal’s throat before stuffing her body in a hockey bag and dragging it and dumping it at the end of a long trail of blood that led back to Gaal’s home.

“Two boys are left without a mother and a young teenager faces the added trauma of being home when this heinous murder took place,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. “As alleged, the defendant stabbed the victim over 50 times and then attempted to dispose of the body by stuffing it into a duffel bag and dragging it across a quiet residential neighborhood, leaving a trail of blood and a terrified community. The defendant is now in custody and will be held to account for this horrific crime.”

During the investigation, police recovered a bloody jacket and blood-stained tissues from inside Forest Park.

On Wednesday, the defendant offered to speak to police and, during questioning, made incriminating statements, police said.

Bonola allegedly revealed that some time on Saturday he went to a New York City hospital for a cut on his hand. He also told police he and the victim argued, he allegedly confessed to stabbing her and moving her body, according to prosecutors.

“Based upon information provided by persons known to the New York City Police Department and the Queens County District Attorney’s office, recovered video surveillance, and statements and admissions made by the defendant, David Bonola, that, at the above-mentioned date, time, and place of occurrence, the defendant did stab the victim, Orsolya Gaal, numerous times with a knife, thereby causing her death, after which he placed her body in a duffle bag and moved it to the sidewalk at another location,” the criminal complaint said.

Bonola was ordered held without bail on second-degree murder charges and, at the request of defense attorney David Strahan, was placed on suicide watch.

Bonola is due back in court next week. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted.

California has no drug-induced homicide law on the books, and San Francisco has not previously considered filing murder charges in this context. Jenkins would use the state’s second-degree murder statute, sending convicted sellers to prison for 15 years-to-life.

“Moving to hold drug dealers accountable for murder is in lockstep with other prosecutors throughout the state who are stepping up to protect their communities,” Jenkins said in a September 29 statements. “We have to send a strong message in the community and in the courtroom that we will not stand by and allow dealers to kill innocent people.” Her office did not respond to Filter’s request for comment.

Her office has already filed for pretrial detention in seven cases.

Jenkins’ statement ran through a list of drug-war propaganda talking points, like claiming certain amounts of fentanyl are known to be lethal, and that harsher criminalization will make people safer. Her office is also seeking pretrial detention “in cases where defendants pose clear threats to public safety given the lethality of the vast quantities of fentanyl they are accused of possessing, [and] the repeated possession for sale of suspected narcotics.”

Prosecutors using a traditional homicide charge like second-degree murder, particularly when there is not a specific drug-induced homicide law in their state of jurisdiction, is nothing new. But since taking office, Jenkins has been supported by Mothers Against Drug Deaths (MADD), a group that advocates for mandatory treatment and believes that “harm reduction has done some good things but it has gone too far.” MADD did not respond to Filter’s request for comment.

MADD is a part of the California Peace Coalition that Shellenberger created to advertise his planned asylum-industrial complex, “Cal-Psych,” from the campaign trail.

Shellenberger received 3 percent of the vote for governor in the primary. But DA Jenkins’ anti-harm reduction stances represent something more serious because she is in power. Her office has already filed for pretrial detention in seven cases.

Trying to curb overdose deaths by prosecuting “dealers,” people who are often friends of the person who died, is like trying to fix a plumbing issue by poking holes in the pipe. Jenkins has claimed that pursuing such convictions is in line with her desire to “enforce the law equally.” For context, killing someone with your car in California is a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of one year in county jail.

NEW YORK — It was a crime of passion, two years in the making, against a scandalous backdrop of illicit sex and deceit: A Queens mom and the local handyman were on-and-off lovers until their final, fatal meeting in the basement of her Tudor-style home.

For Orsolya Gaal, 51, there was no inkling of the horrors ahead when she headed into Manhattan for a Lincoln Center show with friends on Good Friday. A neighbor had earlier spotted the hockey mom, whose husband was out of town, frolicking behind her Forest Hills home with the family dog ​​on a sunny spring afternoon.

Gaal later left the younger of their two sons inside their house on Juno Street and boarded a train for her night out, excited about seeing one of her favorite composers perform. The Hungarian immigrant traveled home the same way, arriving around 11:20 pm and stopping at the Forest Hills Station House gastropub for a nightcap — her favorite, a Moscow mule.

She then made the half-mile walk to her home, arriving around 12:20 am on Saturday, April 16, as her youngest child slept upstairs inside the quiet residence.

The sands in the hour glass of Gaal’s life were about to run out.

Ten minutes later, at around 12:30 am, uninvited guest David Bonola, 44, arrived in the darkness at his longtime lover’s home. He knew his way around from prior amorous visits and odd jobs done around the house over the previous two years, and used a spare house key to slip inside on previous occasions, police said.

Gaal was unpleasantly surprised to see Bonola, 44, the divorced father of two, suddenly appearing in the middle of the night. Her husband and their older son were in Oregon on a tour of potential colleges, and the two lovers stood alone before heading down to the basement, officials said.

A note on the family fridge offered a chilling commentary on their failing romance: “GET A NEW HANDYMAN.”

“We went down to the basement to talk, and it turned into an argument,” Bonola later explained to detectives, according to a law enforcement source.

Story continues

The couple’s quarrel quickly escalated into violence, with Bonola ignoring Gaal’s repeated calls to leave before grabbing a steak knife and plunging the blade into the victim over and over and over again, police said.

Gaal’s hands were gashed with defensive injuries from her losing battle for life, with most of her 58 stab wounds inflicted to the neck and upper body, police said.

Bonola stuffed her corpse into a hockey bag belonging to the sleeping boy upstairs.

Four hours elapsed before video collected from the doorbell cameras of neighbors captured the killer dragging the bag with the body down the street, leaving a telltale trail of gore from the home to the spot where Gaal’s body was dumped just outside Forest Park.

Subsequent surveillance video showed Bonola arriving at his home at 6:05 am Saturday, two hours before the victim’s body was discovered by a dog walker in Forest Park.

The gruesome find ignited a full-court law enforcement press as police pieced together the details of the affair and the murder. The duffel bag, authorities later revealed, belonged to the victim’s 13-year-old boy. The teen was initially handcuffed at the family house and led outside as police swarmed the residence on the morning of April 16.

Gaal’s husband, unaware of the carnage back home in Queens, tweeted about his Saturday arrival in Portland, Oregon, with their elder son.

It wasn’t until Wednesday night that police arrested Bonola, whose bandaged hand still bore the wounds of his stabbing spree, authorities said. Bonola claimed the injury came while he was working earlier in the day, but video footage reviewed by detectives showed the cuts occurred before the suspect was taken into custody.

The suspect initially remained calm under police questioning, pushing back against the allegations, according to an NYPD source. Once aware of the damning evidence against him, Bonola matter-of-factly “answered every question,” the source added.

Old Facebook posts detailed the suspected killer’s flirty online compliments to Gaal, with one describing the murder victim as “the most beautiful woman.”

Federal immigration officials also revealed after his arrest that Bonola, a native of Mexico, was living illegally in the city for the last two decades and faced deportation if cleared of the killing.
