Josefa Soto, a 57-year-old Dominican woman living in the Bronx, was found dead in her apartment on Friday, August 21, just one day before she was scheduled to travel back to the Dominican Republic with her son.
The planned trip on Saturday, August 22, represented a long-awaited return for Soto, who had spent several years unable to visit her home country. Her death occurred under circumstances that left her unable to fulfill her goal of returning.
Authorities discovered the victim in her residence on the eve of her departure, abruptly halting the family's travel plans after years of separation from the Dominican Republic.
