Missing Navy Sailor Found Dead in Virginia, Another Sailor in Custody
- Seaman Angelina Petra Resendiz, a 21-year-old culinary specialist, went missing on May 29, 2025, from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.
- Her disappearance followed alleged systemic failures as friends filed a missing person's report when her commander did not, and official notifications were delayed or informal.
- Investigators from NCIS and Norfolk police found a body about nine miles from the base on Monday night, identified through DNA testing as Resendiz's, while the medical examiner's office continues autopsy procedures.
- As of Tuesday, no arrests or charges had been officially announced; however, a Navy sailor was subsequently placed in pretrial detention related to Resendiz's death, with the investigation continuing and NCIS declining to provide additional statements.
- Resendiz’s family expressed immense grief and demands for Congress to investigate Navy communication failures and institute reforms to prevent similar tragedies involving missing service members.
