The body of a missing 37-year-old Riverdale woman was found
early Wednesday morning near the Manhattan side of the George
Washington Bridge — and cops believe she leapt to her death, sources
said.
Jennifer Sack was last seen leaving her apartment building, on
Henry Hudson Parkway, at approximately 5:40 p.m. Sunday and was
discovered at about 8 a.m., lying along the rocks of the Hudson River
near Ft. Washington Park, about 1/3 of a mile south of the New York side
of the bridge.
A dog walker made the grim discovery near a park tennis court
and contacted a security guard, who in turn notified Port Authority
cops.
The victim had been reported missing by her father, Dr. Peter Sack,
72, a clinical assistant professor in psychiatry at Albert
Einstein College of Medicine, who specializes in geriatric issues.
The woman’s mother, Diane L. Sack, is a lawyer for the New York City Department of Transportation.
Authorities suspect the deceased jumped from the bridge on Sunday
soon after she left her residence and was carried by the river’s
currents to where she was found yesterday.
The victim was described as suffering from depression, but the
city’s Medical Examiner’s office will seek to determine the cause of
death.
