A huge search is underway for a female US Navy member who has been missing for a week and is feared to be in danger.
Angelina Petra Resendiz, 21, was last seen around 10 a.m. Thursday last week at her barracks in Miller Hall at Naval Station Norfolk, according to Virginia State Police.
The agency launched a “critically missing adult alert” for the sailor on Tuesday, while saying her “disappearance poses a credible threat to [her health and safety].” The Naval Criminal
Investigative Service also said she is feared to be in danger, without detailing exactly why it believed so.
Resendiz’s family is panicked because the “very loving” sailor never goes a day without speaking to her family, her mother, Esmeralda Castle, told WCEV.
“Her and my sister have a 400-day streak on Snapchat. Every single day she talks to somebody,” the mom, who lives in Texas, said of her daughter.
“She just stopped existing Thursday. She’s spent no money, made no calls. She just stopped. She disappeared,” the mom said of her daughter, whom she calls Angie.
Her mother said Resendiz does not drive and does not have a car. “It’s very hard to tell people that she’s missing,” Resendiz’s mother said.
“This isn’t like Angie. I just want to find her,” she said.
Rendez was described by officials as 5 feet tall, 110 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.
