Navy brass failed a young patriot, as a 21-year-old sailor who aspired to cook for America’s leaders was found dead.

Angelina “Angie” Resendiz’s tragic death raises disturbing questions about the military’s apparent negligence in protecting those who volunteer to defend the nation.

Resendiz, who joined the Navy in 2023 after feeling called to serve her country, was last seen on May 29, 2025, at her barracks in Miller Hall at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.

Despite her absence, officials did not issue a “critically missing adult alert” until June 3, nearly a week after her disappearance.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) confirmed that Resendiz’s body was discovered in a wooded area in Norfolk. The Norfolk Medical Examiner positively identified her remains.

Another sailor is now in custody with charges pending under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, though officials have released few details about the suspect or possible motives.

Resendiz served as a culinary specialist aboard the USS James E. Williams. According to her mother, she had ambitious dreams of cooking for the president and world leaders one day.

Perhaps most disturbing are the allegations from Resendiz’s mother, Esmeralda Castle, who has criticized military leadership for their handling of her daughter’s disappearance.

According to Castle, there was an alarming lack of urgency from Navy officials when Resendiz went missing.

“[Resendiz’s] colleagues, friends, and even authorities knew she was missing, but the response was minimal, and after her friends filed a missing person’s report when her commander would not, they showed little compassion or understanding,” Castle stated.

Adding to the mysterious circumstances, reports indicated that the last person seen with Resendiz was also initially missing but reappeared on June 2 without her.

This individual’s connection to the case remains unclear, though the timing raises serious questions about what really happened to the young sailor.

The NCIS claimed they have “worked tirelessly” with various law enforcement agencies to investigate Resendiz’s disappearance and death.

“NCIS remains committed to uncovering the facts surrounding the tragic death of Seaman Resendiz to ensure accountability and justice,” the agency stated in a press release.

Still, these statements ring hollow for many observers, given the apparent delays in the initial response.

The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of support for Resendiz’s family, with a GoFundMe campaign raising over $9,000 to help her mother cover expenses.

As this case unfolds, Americans deserve to know exactly what happened to Angelina Resendiz and whether military leadership’s apparent negligence contributed to this tragedy.
