Navy Sailor Angelina Petra Resendiz Missing from Norfolk Base Since May 29

Virginia authorities are on a desperate search for Angelina Petra Resendiz, a 21-year-old Navy sailor who vanished without a trace on May 29 from her barracks at Naval Station Norfolk. Last seen around 10 p.m. in Miller Hall, her sudden disappearance has raised serious concerns, with police labeling it as critical due to potential risks to her health.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is actively investigating, but details remain scarce. Resendiz, a culinary specialist in the Navy, is described by her mother, Esmeralda Castle, as a loving and kind soul. Speaking from Texas, Castle shared her heartbreak over her daughter’s uncharacteristic silence—no calls, no texts, not even a snap to keep up a 400-day streak on Snapchat with her sister. For a young woman who always stayed connected with family and friends, this break in habit is deeply alarming.

What makes this case even more puzzling is that Resendiz doesn’t drive and has no vehicle. She was reported missing after failing to show up for work, leaving her loved ones grappling with the void. Castle’s words echo the pain of uncertainty: “She disappeared. It’s very hard to tell people that she’s missing.”

Resendiz is a Hispanic female, 5 ft. 5 in. tall, weighing 110 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair. Authorities urge anyone with information to call (877) 579-3648. As the search continues, the hope is that this young sailor will be found safe and sound, bringing relief to a family holding on to every shred of hope.
