Mother of missing Navy sailor in Norfolk speaks out as investigation continues

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The investigation into missing Culinary Specialist Seaman Angelina Resendiz out of Naval Station Norfolk is still ongoing. Resendiz was initially reported missing on May 29, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) states her disappearance from the Virginia naval station poses a credible threat to their health and safety. According to the Navy, Resendiz was last seen in her barracks at Naval Station Norfolk around 10 a.m. Nexstar's WAVY spoke with Resendiz's mother, Esmerelda Castle, who says she knew something was wrong when her daughter stopped reaching out to family members — something Resendiz was known to do every day. 'She talks to somebody every day,' Castle said. 'Her and my sister have a 400-day streak on Snapchat, and it all stopped on Thursday. She doesn't miss work.' Castle contacted the Navy and flew all the way to Hampton Roads, Virginia, from Texas to look for Resendiz, whom she describes as kind and compassionate. 'She's a very kind person. She's loving,' Castle said. 'She sees someone down, she's compassionate and encouraging and uplifting, and it's just natural for her. You see her and she's always smiling.' Esmerelda Castle shared the below photos of her daughter with WAVY. Castle said the last person who was seen with her daughter showed up to work on Monday, while Resendiz did not. 'I got here Thursday, and [investigators] still couldn't tell me anything,' Castle said. WAVY reached out to NCIS and received the following statement: 'NCIS urges anyone with information regarding her whereabouts to contact NCIS at 877-579-3648 or using the NCIS Tips app. Tips may be reported anonymously.'

Virginia Beach introduces program to address school-related threats

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The City of Virginia Beach recently launched a new program in order to address school-related threats. The new program, called the School Threat Offense Program (STOP), was introduced by the Virginia Beach Court Services Unit and the Virginia Beach Police Department and consists of a five-week educational course for youth adjudicated on school-related threats. According to a release, each week of the program will focus on different aspects of accountability, behavioral awareness and community safety, including applicable laws and rules, bullying prevention and consequences of harmful actions. During the program, School Resource Officers will speak with both parents and students about different support strategies, accessing school-based resources and the impact school threats on the larger community. Parents of the first graduates of the program, which concluded on May 21, 2025, said they have noticed considerable changes in their children, such as increased emotional regulation, accountability and academic progress. 'We have long needed a program like STOP,' VBPD Lt. Kevin Lokey said. 'Education, engagement and empowerment from the program produce a positive turnaround for these kids and their families. STOP is designed to reduce juvenile incarceration while still correcting behaviors and helping youths learn from their mistakes.' For more information on the program, click here.
