Navy launches frantic search for female sailor who vanished near her barracks a week ago
Navy investigators and police have launched an urgent search for an enlisted female sailor who vanished near her barracks in Virginia last week.
Officials issued a missing adult alert for 21-year-old Angelina Petra Resendiz on June 3 around 9.38 pm.
She was last seen on May 29 around 10 a.m. at her barracks at the Miller Hall Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia. Authorities have described her as a white/Hispanic woman who is 5ft tall, weighs 110 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
The Navy is not sure what she was wearing, but says she did not have a vehicle. A military investigative agency has determined that her disappearance poses a risk to her health and safety. She first joined the Navy after high school in 2023.
Anyone with information about her disappearance is encouraged to contact the Naval Criminal Investigative Service with information regarding her whereabouts at (877) 579-3648.

Resendiz's mother, Esmeralda Castle, told the outlet her daughter 'does not miss work. Sick, snow, feeling down, she shows up.'
Castle said her daughter's decision to join the military 'was something that called her.'
Resendiz, she said, hoped 'that one day she might be able to cook for the president and other world leaders.'
She added, "She worked really hard on her ship." Castle described her daughter as 'fun, loving, kind, compassionate and uplifting.'
"People that care about Angie shared with me that the last person she was with was missing with her,' she said. 'That person showed up Monday but not Angie.'
Still, there are more answers than questions: "I just want my kid,' said Castle. 'She doesn't deserve to be missing."
In a statement to the outlet, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service said, 'Out of respect for the investigative process, NCIS will not comment further while the investigation remains ongoing."

Texas measles outbreak ‘on the decline', officials say
The measles outbreak that began sweeping across west Texas earlier this year is showing signs of slowing, according to the state's health services department. For the first time since the outbreak was first reported in January, no new cases were added in the department's latest update. The total case count remains at 742, a figure that has been updated biweekly by state officials. 'Thankfully, this large outbreak that we've been tracking in west Texas does seem to be on the decline,' Dr Jennifer Shuford, commissioner of the the state health services department told the Texas Standard, though she warned that 'it just takes one person to get into an under-vaccinated community to cause another outbreak'. Measles had been declared eliminated from the US in 2000, but it has been spreading in undervaccinated communities. Though most of Texas's outbreak has been concentrated in its western part, sporadic cases have appeared elsewhere in the state. Some of these cases have been linked to international travel while others remain under investigation due to unclear origins. The majority of cases have been reported in Gaines county, home to a Mennonite community with historically low childhood immunization rates. Two children from the affected region, both unvaccinated and with no known pre-existing conditions, have died due to the disease. The earlier of those deaths was the first in the US from measles since 2015. According to the latest Texas state health services department figures, fewer than 10 of the confirmed cases are currently considered infectious – which is defined as individuals within four days before or after the appearance of the measles rash. Since January, 94 people have been hospitalized. The state health agency has identified seven counties with ongoing measles transmission: Cochran, Dawson, Gaines, Lamar, Lubbock, Terry and Yoakum. The agency says it continues to work closely with local health officials to monitor and contain the spread. Shuford says that the department has struggled to adequately encourage community members to get vaccinated, explaining that the state health service department is 'really trying to strengthen our messaging at all times and so that we already have a relationship with different communities'. She added that 'vaccines are just such an instrumental way for us to maintain a healthy society that can be productive'.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia: Man wrongly deported to El Salvador returning to the US to face criminal charges
A man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration is returning to the US to face criminal charges. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was charged in an indictment filed in federal court in Tennessee with conspiring to transport illegal immigrants into the US, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday. The indictment was filed on 21 May, more than two months after he was deported from the US, court records have shown. In a statement, Abrego Garcia's lawyer Andrew Rossman said: "Today's action proves what we've known all along - that the administration had the ability to bring him back and just refused to do so." Abrego Garcia was deported from Maryland despite an immigration judge's 2019 order granting him protection after finding he was likely to be persecuted by gangs if he was returned there.
