'Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker' sought for murder

A man well-known on Facebook and Youtube as "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" is now being sought for the murder of 73-year-old Joseph Galfy, Jr. in northern New Jersey.

Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, 34, is better known as Kai, made headlines earlier this year after he saved two people from being violently attacked by a man with apparent racial motivations who also claimed he was Jesus. McGillvary gave a memorable, profanity-laced local news interview and described himself as "homefree" rather than homeless.

He is also known as Kai Lawrence, Caleb Kai Lawrence and Kai Nicodemus, and relies on the support of strangers for food, transpiration and lodging.

WPVI-TV reports the victim was found inside his home on May 13 after officers received a call to check on his well-being. Galfy was a reliable attorney and when he didn't show up for work Monday friends and coworkers knew something was wrong.

6. He claims he was drugged and orally raped while unconscious in his last FB post.

And while it is not said explicitly, it seems he is alluding to the fact that the person he killed is who did this to him.

8. Let's wait for all the evidence to come in.

Another sad human story, whatever way it goes.

Authorities have arrested the internet celebrity known as "Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker," in connection with the murder of a New Jersey lawyer.

Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, who received the nickname because he used a hatchet to subdue a man who ran over a California utility worker, was arrested at a Greyhound Bus terminal in Philadelphia, police said.

Officials believe McGillvary, 24, killed Joseph Galfy, who was found in his Clark, N.J. home on Monday, dead of blunt force trauma. Prosecutors say Galfy met McGillvary in Times Square Saturday night, and brought him back to his house to spend the night.

Authorities said McGillvary, who has appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," pondered on his Facebook page Tuesday the idea of waking up in a stranger's house with a groggy head and injuries, and the realization of being drugged and raped. "What would you do?" he wrote, according to officials.
