Osiecki, who lives across from Bach, added, 'A little later, [Hayley] came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her.'
'Police tried to bring her in the house and close the door, but the door got opened. She was in and out a few times.'
Osiecki also said that she and her husband, John, recognized Hayley's Mercedes-Benz in Bach's driveway.
'We couldn't see what was going on in the house, but when she came out she was crying like crazy.'
The neighbor also shared that she last saw Bach taking out her trash on Monday.
Bach is survived by her two daughters, Hayley and Taylor, 34, along with her granddaughter, London.
The Post reached out to police and representatives for Hasselhoff.

Arizona medical examiner reveals how killer dad Shawn Ryan Grell died in notoriously violent prison
A murderous dad serving a life sentence for burning his 2-year-old daughter alive 26 years ago died of lung cancer in his cell at a notoriously violent Arizona prison, an autopsy revealed this week. The body of convicted murderer Shawn Ryan Grell, 50, was discovered by authorities in the Arizona State Prison Complex in Tucson on April 19. Officials did not disclose any details about his death at the time. A report from the medical examiner obtained by The Post on Wednesday revealed Grell died of natural causes. Advertisement 5 Shawn Ryan Grell's body was discovered by authorities in the Arizona State Prison Complex on April 19. Arizona Department of Corrections 'The cause of death is ascribed to metastatic non-small cell lung cancer,' wrote Dr. Ryan Bruhns, a medical examiner with the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office. 'The manner of death is natural.' There were no injuries on his body, according to the report. Advertisement Grell's death generated online speculation over whether it was a result of a revenge killing by another inmate, given the horrifying nature of his crime. That speculation came as legislators were calling for sweeping reforms at the Arizona Department of Corrections after three inmates were savagely murdered 15 days before in the same prison complex where Grell died. The three prisoners were killed on April 4 by Ricky Wassenaar, a notorious convict who is serving 16 life sentences for murder and his role in one of the longest prison hostage situations in American history, according to prison officials. 5 Grell was serving a life sentence for killing his 2-year-old daughter over two decades ago. Advertisement 5 The body of Grell's daughter was found just outside Phoenix in 1999. Two of Wassenaar's victims were serving life sentences for sex crimes against a minor, the other was in for raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl. 'Child molesters: I wanted to kill them all. That's all I can say,' he told the Arizona Mirror in a recent phone call. The medical examiner put an end to the online theories. Advertisement 5 A report from the medical examiner obtained by The Post showed Grell died of lung cancer. 'This 50-year-old male inmate at the Arizona State Prison Complex – Tucson…was discovered unresponsive in his bed in the Rincon Unit,' the report read. 'He was pronounced deceased at the scene by an attending physician.' Grell's thin body was delivered to the medical examiner in a white body bag. He weighed just 134 pounds and had bad teeth, according to the report. Grell was serving a life sentence for murdering his daughter over 25 years ago. He picked up Kristen Salem from a Mesa day care on Dec. 2, 1999, and took her to McDonald's for lunch, according to court records. 5 The medical examiner's report put to rest online speculation that another inmate killed Grell. He told the tot they were going to see Christmas lights, reported, but instead he drove to Target to buy a plastic gas can and gasoline, according to court documents. He then drove to the desert outside Mesa, laid his sleeping daughter on the ground, doused her in gasoline and lit her on fire, the records said. Little Kristen woke up and staggered 10 feet while engulfed in flames, before collapsing on the ground. Advertisement He later confessed to the killing at a press conference early the next morning. 'I took the gasoline and I poured it on her,' he told investigators during a videotaped interview. 'I took the match and threw it on her,' he added with no trace of emotion in his voice.

The Brief An Amazon Flex delivery driver said her car was stolen while she was dropping off packages The thief is now using the woman's EBT card that was left inside the car Amazon responded to the incident AUSTIN, Texas - An Amazon Flex delivery driver said her car was stolen while she was dropping off packages. Local perspective Stephanie Board was delivering packages for Amazon early Sunday morning. "I took the route that was from 3:15 a.m all the way until like seven o'clock, and I was almost done, so I was excited when I was on my route because I was like, ok, it's about 6:30-ish, I'm almost done. So here I am just determined to get it done and get back to my kids," delivery driver Stephanie Board said. She said she pulled up to a home in the Quail Creek Neighborhood in North Austin, her car was still running. "I'm just thinking, you know, I'm going to hop in and out real quickly," Board said. Board said she grabbed the package out of her car, walked to the front door, dropped it off, and scanned it. When she turned around, Board said, "I look up and I see a guy that I've never seen before. He hops out of a Mercedes, I think it was, and he gets into the driver's side of my car." Board said she tried to stop the man. "I kind of try to get in front of him to stop him from taking the vehicle, but he still goes around and leaves in the vehicle," Board said. She said it felt like a movie. "Panicking, nervous, just disbelief and distraught that something like this was happening," Board said. Apparently, her car had all of her personal items inside, including her credit, debit, and social security cards. "I see that they are currently using my EBT card. They were at the local Sam's that was out south, and it looks like they were at some supermarkets here in the East Austin area, so they're all over Austin, so you might want to just be mindful," Board said. Board and her son have a message to whoever is behind this. "Just do the right thing and return the car because you've taken away from a mother that's trying to support her kids and have a survival for them and stable living," Board said.

Trump unfazed by Kennedy Center actors who boycotted his ‘Les Misérables' date night with Melania
WASHINGTON — A dressed-to-the-nines President Trump hit the Kennedy Center red carpet hand-in-hand with first lady Melania Wednesday night to see 'Les Misérables' — and was unfazed by reports that some cast members of his favorite musical planned to boycott opening night due to his presence. 'I couldn't care less, all I do is run the country well,' the black tuxedo-clad commander in chief told The Post as he stood next to Melania, who wore a sleek black sleeveless gown and silver stilettos for the event. It was the president's first visit to the Washington, DC, performing arts venue since he appointed himself chairman in February, when he declared it was in 'tremendous disrepair' and made it his mission to restore the center. 'We want to bring it back better than ever,' Trump said. 'As you know, it needs a little help from the standpoint of age and fitness, but it's going to be fantastic.' The president revealed he's seen 'Les Mis' a 'number of times' — and couldn't make up his mind about whether he identified more with Jean Valjean or Inspector Javert. 'That's tough, I think you better answer that, honey,' he said to Melania. The ritzy event raised $10 million and was also attended by Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance. The president had fired the Kennedy Center board when he took the helm — and hand-picked members of his own board, saying that the previous leadership allowed drag shows that were 'specifically targeting our youth.' 5 President Trump and Melania Trump arrive at the Kennedy Center to see 'Les Misérables.' Getty Images 5 The Trumps were dressed to the nines for the event. Getty Images Several drag queens crashed Wednesday's performance in protest of Trump's dramatic overhaul of the performing arts venue — and were met with scattered applause and cheers as they took their seats, according to videos shared on social media. 5 Trump has been on a mission to restore the national cultural center at the heart of DC. REUTERS 5 Several drag queens also crashed the performance in protest of Trump. AP Trump's outing comes as anti-ICE protests erupt nationwide, with Los Angeles remaining the epicenter of six straight days of violence and destruction sparked by sweeping immigration raids. Trump has since deployed 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops to the City of Angels to quell the unrest – which he said is caused by 'radical left lunatics,' many of whom he claims are paid 'professionals. 'We are going to have law and order in our country,' Trump said. 5 Trump was unfazed by reports that some cast members of his favorite musical were expected to boycott. REUTERS 'If I didn't act quickly on that, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground right now.' Looking ahead to Saturday, Trump called his massive military parade — marking his 79th birthday and the US Army's 250th anniversary — an 'incredible' tribute to the nation. The $30 million daylong event along the National Mall will feature hundreds of military vehicles, tanks and planes, with approximately 6,600 soldiers marching alongside the historic instruments of war. 'It will be a parade like we haven't had in many, many decades,' Trump promised. 'And it's a celebration of our country. It's a celebration of the Army, actually … We have the greatest weapons in the world and the greatest people in the world. It's gonna be a big parade.'
