A new status for missing sailors is being created by the Navy. This development comes after the disappearance and death of Angelina Resendiz, a sailor from Brownsville. The Navy is updating its personnel and process policies as part of this effort.

Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao informed Congressman Vicente Gonzalez of the changes in a letter. The letter was sent on Monday and outlined the Navy's plan to review and update its policies. Further details on the new status and policy updates are available from ValleyCentral.

The Navy's actions are a response to the circumstances surrounding Resendiz's death, and more information can be found through local news sources.
