Jeremiah Copeland, a service member, was sentenced to 44 years in prison for strangling Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Angelina Resendiz in his Virginia barracks room last year. He pleaded guilty to unpremeditated murder and other charges related to her death. The sentencing comes after Copeland admitted to strangling Resendiz on May 29, 2025, after they had been drinking and she became upset over something she saw on his phone. Investigators discovered Resendiz's remains in a wooded area near Norfolk after a ten-day search. The victim's mother believes military leaders missed chances to intervene before her daughter was murdered and that Copeland had faced prior allegations from other women. Despite her concerns, she found some closure after hearing Copeland admit to her murder.
