V.I. Police Department sources say a 51-year-old woman may have been washed into the sea near Frederiksted late Wednesday afternoon. Police and rescue personnel purportedly called off the search at sunset, to resume in the morning. No name was given for the potential victim, and the department has yet to issue an official statement.
