Angelina "Angie" Petra Resendiz, a 21-year-old Navy sailor, has disappeared from her barracks at Naval Station Norfolk, leaving her family and authorities scrambling for answers.

According to the Daily Mail, Resendiz was last seen on the morning of May 29, and her sudden absence has raised alarms due to her close-knit relationship with her family.

Her mother, Esmeralda Castle, insists that Resendiz would never vanish without warning, emphasizing her daughter’s daily communication habits, including a 400-day Snapchat streak with her aunt. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) has classified her disappearance as a "credible threat" to her safety, heightening concerns among loved ones and investigators.

Family Describes Uncharacteristic Disappearance

Castle, who traveled from Texas to Virginia to aid in the search, described her daughter as responsible and fearful of missing work.

"She calls my mother, she calls her brother, her sisters; she has friends—middle school friends she still talks to," Castle told WCEV. The abrupt halt in communication, coupled with no financial activity or calls, has left the family baffled.

Virginia State Police issued a critically missing adult alert on June 3, noting Resendiz was last seen at 10 a.m. in Miller Hall, her barracks. Authorities have not disclosed any signs of foul play but stress the urgency of locating her. NCIS confirmed they are actively investigating but have yet to release additional details.

Search Intensifies Amid Growing Concerns

Resendiz, a culinary specialist for the Navy, stands 5 feet tall and weighs approximately 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Her mother described her as kind and loving, making her sudden disappearance even more unsettling. "She's spent no money, made no calls. She just stopped," Castle said, emphasizing the unusual nature of the case.

Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world, serves as the headquarters for the U.S. Navy's Fleet Forces Command. The base’s security protocols are under scrutiny as investigators piece together Resendiz’s last known movements. NCIS has urged the public to come forward with any information via their tip line or website.

Authorities Scramble for Leads

With no clear leads, the case has drawn comparisons to other high-profile military disappearances, though officials have not confirmed any connections. Resendiz’s family remains hopeful but frustrated by the lack of progress. "My kid is missing, and she wouldn’t just unauthorized, leave without permission," Castle insisted.

The Navy has not commented on whether Resendiz was facing personal or professional challenges before her disappearance. Meanwhile, social media campaigns and local news coverage have amplified efforts to locate her.

Friends and fellow sailors have shared appeals online, describing her as dependable and unlikely to abandon her duties.

Next Steps in the Investigation

Angelina Resendiz’s case remains a top priority for NCIS and Virginia law enforcement as they pursue all possible leads. Her family continues to press for answers, urging anyone with information to come forward. The Naval Station Norfolk community has also mobilized, distributing flyers and coordinating search efforts.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities are expected to release additional details, including potential surveillance footage or witness statements.

For now, Resendiz’s loved ones cling to hope while grappling with the unsettling mystery of her sudden disappearance. Those with tips are encouraged to contact NCIS directly as the search intensifies.
