A U.S. Navy sailor who disappeared from her barracks about two weeks ago has been found dead, authorities said Wednesday, and another sailor is currently in pretrial custody in connection with her death.

Angelina Petra Resendiz, 21, vanished from her barracks at a naval base in Norfolk, Virginia, on May 29, according to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS. She was reported missing June 3, and the Virginia State Police subsequently issued a "critically missing adult alert" on behalf of the agency.

The Norfolk Medical Examiner identified her body on Tuesday, after remains were found the day before in a wooded part of the city, a spokesperson for the law enforcement agency said in a statement to CBS News.
