At approximately 2:10 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 3, New York State Police troopers and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Dutchess County were dispatched to a residence on Dorothy Heights in Wappingers Falls for a report of an unresponsive woman in a vehicle.
The woman, identified as Victoria Barnes, age 43 years, of Sebastian, Florida, was discovered dead by responding emergency medical personnel and state police personnel.
State Police say Barnes had recently arrived in the town of Wappinger.
