Bergen Woman's Body Found At State Line Lookout

Police have released the identity of the woman whose body was found at the State Line Lookout in the Palisades Interstate Park late Wednesday night.

The body of Kari Kaminski, 45, of Cresskill, was found while Officer Dana Eustace was patrolling the area shortly after 10:30 p.m., police said. Police found an unoccupied Subaru Forester in the lookout's parking lot and woman's handbag on a rock north of the main overlook along Old U.S. Route 9W, police said.

Police found Kaminski's body lying below the rock and she was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later, authorities said.

Palisades Police detectives, Bergen County Sheriff's Department, and an investigator from the Medical Examiner's office responded to the scene and positively identified the body as being Kaminski's, police said.

Authorities said there is not enough information to determine a cause of death or the circumstances that lead to Kaminski's death.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the matter.

State Line Lookout is a scenic overlook on the Palisades and is the highest point on the Palisades Cliffs. It is about half a mile south of the New Jersey-New York state line.
