Collington was part of the U.S. Army's air and missile defense unit and had been participating in the African Lion military exercise when she went missing on May 2. Her body was transported to the morgue of Moulay El Hassan Military Hospital in Guelmim, Morocco, by the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces. Brig. Gen. Curtis King, commanding general of the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, expressed condolences, stating that her loss is profound for the community.

Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., who also went missing during the same exercise, marking the end of a search operation that involved over 1,000 personnel from the U.S. and Morocco.
