The body of missing Navy Seaman Angelina Resendiz, 21, was found in a wooded area near Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia.
She had last been seen on May 29 at her barracks.
A fellow Navy sailor has been placed in pretrial confinement in connection with her death, with charges pending under military law.
Resendiz’s disappearance had been considered critical, and her family reported her missing after she failed to show up for work or respond to messages, Fox News has reported.
NCIS is leading the investigation and has pledged to ensure accountability, though further details are being withheld during the ongoing investigation.
