Union County Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow revealed Thursday new details about the alleged murder of Joseph Galfy, 73, by Internet celeb Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, 24, better known as Internet sensation "Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" on YouTube and Facebook.

At a Thursday afternoon press conference, Romankow explained that Galfy picked up McGillvary in Times Square on Saturday, May 11, and that McGillvary stayed overnight at Galfy's home on Starlite Drive before leaving for Asbury Park.

McGillvary returned to Galfy's home later that day and allegedly committed the murder. McGillvary then left and met up with two of his fans, who are providing information to police.

In a Tuesday post on his Facebook page, McGillvary alleges that he was drugged, raped and ejaculated on and asks readers, "what would you do?"

Romankow gave the following timeline of McGillvary's known whereabouts and the additional details about the murder:

- Saturday, May 11 - Galfy picked up McGillvary in Times Square and the two returned to Galfy’s home on Starlite Drive. McGillvary stayed the night.
