A young Navy sailor, 21-year-old Angelina ‘Angie’ Resendiz, has inexplicably vanished in Virginia, causing her mother deep concern and leaving her desperately seeking answers. The facts, as we now know them, are these.

Resendiz was last observed on the morning of Thursday, May 29, at her assigned quarters in Miller Hall at Naval Station Norfolk, according to reliable sources from the Virginia State Police. The evidence suggests that her disappearance could potentially pose a significant risk to her well-being, as determined by the investigating agency.

A native of Texas, Resendiz serves as a culinary specialist aboard the USS James E. Williams, as per official reports from the Navy. Her mother, Esmeralda Castle, describes her as dutiful, noting she does not miss work. Sick, snow, feeling down, she shows up no matter what.

Following her high school graduation in 2023, Resendiz enlisted in the Navy. Castle shared that her daughter felt a profound calling to serve. As a culinary specialist, she harbored aspirations of one day preparing meals for the president and other world leaders. Castle paints a portrait of her daughter as hardworking, fun, loving, kind, compassionate, and uplifting.

Reports indicate that the last person known to be with Resendiz is no longer missing, adding further complexity to the case. Castle states, ‘There are no answers for me. I just want my kid, she doesn’t deserve to be missing.’

The Navy expressed its full cooperation with the ongoing investigation. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, however, chose not to comment further due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.

The significance of this should not be overlooked. A young woman in the service of her nation has disappeared under unexplained circumstances. Let’s all say a prayer that she returns home safely.
