You can read about Lot and his wife in Genesis 19. She was turned into a pillar of salt somewhere between Sodom and Zoar.

Zoar was the town that they were escaping to. Lot's wife turned back to look at Sodom because she longed for the life that she had there.

She looked back.

Genesis 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

As God was raining down burning salts (salt, potash, etc.) upon the sinful city of Sodom, Lot's wife violated a warning and looked back (Genesis ch.19) longingly. Since she demonstrated homesickness for Sodom, she was made to remain near it forever. The burning salt rained upon her.
