TIMELINE: Everything we know about the death of Angelina Resendiz
“I went to the funeral home… I wanted to see her, you know, I didn't know what to expect. I knew she’d been missing for days and she was found outside, and it probably wouldn't look the best," said Castle. “I saw her body and she was covered, just infested with maggots, with bugs and decaying. And they didn't preserve her body or prepare her to come home.”
We learned there is another sailor in pre-trial confinement in connection to her death, that person's name has not been confirmed by authorities.
