Mother of missing 6-year-old may have planned to leave country after police interview

The mother of a six-year-old boy missing from Everman, may have told some of her older children she planned to leave the country last week.

The mother of a six-year-old boy missing from Everman, may have told some of her older children she planned to leave the country last week.

Her goodbyes, along with gifts, would have been a day after police first asked Cindy Rodriguez-Singh where her son Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez is, but a few days before an Amber Alert was issued over his disappearance.

Elvira Morales, Rodriguez-Singh's mother, said her 16-year-old grandson received a call from his mother, telling him he needed to come visit her in Everman, and bring his 12-year-old brother.

Morales said the boy returned later with video games, and pet birds to give to an 18-year-old sister. The two teenagers have lived with her in White Settlement for more than four years, and the younger boy moved into her home about six months ago.


Morales said she hadn't seen Noel in about a year. There was no sign of him when she was at the Everman house in January, she said. When she asked about him, she said she was always told he was staying with someone else.

Other than a father in Mexico, who has told police he hasn't seen the boy, there is no family out of the country who he may be with, Morales said. She said her daughter was also telling people the boy was with a cousin, but that also wasn't true.
 
I'd love to believe the child is alive and can even believe as the man they lived with said, that there was love in the family. HOWEVER, I doubt it is the case but I hope it is.

Likely major stress and being overwhelmed at minimum. Stepfamily on top of it with a ton of children.

He hasn't been seen. It is a nice dream to think oh she or they gave him to some Good Samaritan who is taking care of him but when has that ever been the case... We have heard and seen that hope in other cases. Lori Vallow's chlldren. There were people after her, etc. so she had to keep them safe.

No one likely took this disabled child to help out and take care of him and if they did, why wouldn't they say so and come forward. I have little hope for him but I do HOPE I'm wrong.

EVERMAN (CBSNewsTexas) - A search that started five days ago for Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez continues.

Everman police Chief Craig Spencer gave an update during a news conference Friday, saying a search was conducted on March 30 at the house Noel and his family lived at.

During that search, police discovered a newly poured concrete porch. Investigators dug under the concrete and had cadaver dogs on the scene, but there was no sign of Noel.

"What made this stand out to our investigative team is that Cindy, nor the rest of the family, owned the property," Spencer said. "It's not normal to conduct this type of construction at a residence you do not own."

Arrest warrants have been issued for Noel's mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh and his stepfather for abandoning and endangering a child, a second degree felony.

Spencer said police have been in communication with Noel's biological father, who says he is just as concerned about the whereabouts of his son.

I'd look again at this construction but it also could be a way to totally distract from where the child is, knowing it would be centered on and noticed...

Missing Boy's Uncle Says His Mother Sold Him; Police Say No Evidence of Trafficking

Missing Boy's Uncle Says His Mother Sold Him; Police Say No Evidence of Trafficking​

The mother of a missing Everman boy reportedly told family members she sold him to a woman at a grocery store while telling police the boy was in Mexico with his father, according to a search warrant obtained by NBC 5. Police, meanwhile, have said there's no evidence the boy's been trafficked.

In a search warrant obtained by NBC 5 on Tuesday, in which the boy's name has been redacted, Cindy's brother Cantarino Rodriguez said she told her mother that she sold the boy at a Fiesta Market to an unknown woman and that the woman threatened to notify Child Protective Services if she tried to get him back. In the search warrant, police said no other information was provided about the supposed buyer and there were no details on when the alleged transaction occurred.

Everman Chief of Police Craig Spencer said during a news conference on March 27 that there were rumors in the community that the child had been sold but that they had found no evidence that suggested he'd been trafficked. Spencer added that they were considering all possibilities after investigators found no evidence to suggest Noel had been harmed or that a crime had occurred.


On March 31, Spencer said both Cindy and her husband, Arshdeep Singh, had been charged with felony abandoning or endangering a child and that his department could now work with federal partners to locate and extradite the couple back to the United States.

Everman Police said Tuesday they are "still working very hard to find Noel" and that though they had no major updates the case is "incredibly active."

"The best thing everyone can do to help is to share his photo and encourage anyone with information to call 817-293-2923 or email tips@evermantx.net," Everman Police said.

The mayor of Everman has not been sleeping well. As Ray Richardson tries to go to sleep, he thinks of the 6-year-old boy missing from his town and wonders what happened to him. Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was reported missing March 20 but hasn’t been seen since November, and the investigation into his disappearance has consumed officials in the small North Texas city.

Each day, Richardson walks across the street from City Hall to the public safety building to check on the team of investigators searching for Noel. As he talks about the case, Richardson’s light blue eyes are bright, but the bags beneath them betray his worry.

The south Tarrant County community of Everman, home to about 6,000 people, is accustomed to some crime trickling in from Fort Worth, which surrounds the town on all sides. But the disappearance of Noel feels personal for town officials.

“It’s been a lot for our little city,” said Richardson, who has lived in Everman since the ‘70s.

<snip>
On March 30, authorities obtained a search warrant for the shed where the family stayed. According to the owner of the property, who lived in the main house, Noel’s mom lived mostly in the shed while Noel and some of her children stayed primarily in the house with him.

<snip>
The search warrant describes conversations with Noel’s relatives, who told police about concerning comments and potential abuse of Noel. One relative said Rodriguez-Singh brought the kids over to their house last year and told them not to give Noel any water because she did not want to change his dirty diapers. The relative’s wife gave Noel water anyway, the documents say. When Rodriguez-Singh found out, she started to hit Noel with her keys, the warrant says. A relative also reported to police that Rodriguez-Singh told her mother she sold Noel to a woman at a Fiesta Mart grocery store.

<snip>
No less than 40 investigators are now on a makeshift task force to find Noel, Spencer said. Authorities from Mansfield, Colleyville, North Richland Hills, Grapevine, Arlington, Fort Worth, Forest Hill and other local departments have lent aid. The North Texas Child Abduction Recovery Team, Texas Rangers, Secret Service, FBI, Homeland Security and other investigators are gathered at the table. Each day, investigators go through tips, interview and re-interview family and friends, analyze data and search for new information.

(NBC News) — The search for a missing 6-year-old Texas boy who has not been seen for months is now a death investigation, police in Everman said Thursday.

The boy, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, was last seen in October at a hospital when his mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, was there to give birth to twins, police said.

“Based on the totality of the circumstances, along with the evidence available to us at this time, it has led to a very unfortunate, unimaginable and devastating conclusion — that Noel is likely deceased,” Spencer said at a news conference Thursday.

Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez of Everman, a city in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, area, went missing in October, and now it has been revealed his mother allegedly thought he was possessed and the boy is likely dead, police said.

When Rodriguez-Alvarez was last seen he was "appearing unhealthy and malnourished," according to Spencer.

The last time the six-year-old boy’s uncle saw him, he claimed his mother assaulted him with her car keys because he drank water, and she did not want him to wet his diaper, KDFW reported.

Search continues for missing Texas boy as community plans prayer vigil​

After more than two weeks since the initial AMBER Alert was issued, another organization is joining the search for Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez out of North Texas.

Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) is helping Everman police look around the 3700 block of Wisteria Drive, where the 6-year-old lived with his immediate family.

TEXSAR will be searching on foot, horseback, and with canines and drones. They're looking in wooded areas east and north of the family's home.

Community members are planning to hold a prayer vigil for Noel. The vigil will start at 8:30 p.m. at the Everman Civic Center on North Race Street.

Missing Everman boy: Search and rescue crews excavate concrete patio his mother paid for​

Late Monday evening, investigators focused their efforts in the backyard where Noel's family rented a converted shed.

"This wasn’t the plan at the beginning of the day, things change hour by hour, so we’ll continue this evening," Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer said on Monday evening.

Crews spent several hours cutting through concrete. They moved machinery in and began an excavation of the back porch.

"We’re just being as thorough as we can and checking the whole patio," Spencer said.

Spencer told WFAA Noel’s mother, Cindy Rodriguez Singh, purchased concrete in early March 2023, days before she and other immediate family members flew out of the country. According to investigators, Rodriguez-Singh paid for an entire porch, its roof, and a contractor to put in a concrete patio.

"She doesn’t own the home. We find it very odd that she would spend her funds to put in a concrete patio in someone's else's home, especially one as elaborate as this one," Spencer said. "This was a pretty hefty investment."

Spencer said the landlord living in the main house is cooperating with the investigation and granted authorities permission to excavate in the backyard.

EDITORIAL: How did a disabled Everman child slip through the cracks? Pray he’s found, demand answers

"According to Everman police, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez has been missing since November."
www.chron.com www.chron.com

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
April 10, 2023

Endangered Missing Person Alerts are issued sparingly to ensure they get urgently needed attention. One issued last week has indeed done that, raising questions about whether a 6-year-old child with serious disabilities slipped through the cracks and, if so, how it happened.

According to Everman police, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez has been missing since November. Though police initial sent out an Amber Alert, which is focused on likely abductions, this case has every bit of the urgency and peril. Child Protective Services has regularly been involved with his mother, how did the agency just realize, based on an anonymous tip received March 20, that he was missing? Should she have lost custody? Were any neighbors or friends aware of or curious about Noel’s disappearance? Should other social-service agencies or health care providers have raised alarms?

The case involves multiple countries, a deported biological father who is in Mexico, a relocated stepfather and remaining family who are either in Turkey or India. Everyone hopes there is a surprisingly simple explanation, but there’s no time to lose. The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office should determine immediately if it’s time to build a case.

Everman missing boy: Homeowner not surprised patio search came up empty

On Monday, investigators dug up a concrete patio behind Charles Parson's home. Police did not find any sign of Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez.

EVERMAN, Texas - The Everman man who owns the property where Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a missing 6-year-old boy who police now believe is dead, lived says investigators are "desperate" and looking in the wrong place.

<snip>
Everman Police Craig Spencer said the search did not find anything, and they are trying to determine where to look next.

"The slab was poured after Noel supposedly had disappeared. Why would he be underneath the slab?" said Parson. "I think they just tore it up because they don't have no idea where the boy is and they are frustrated."

<snip>
Parson says he believes the boy is still alive in Mexico and that Rodriguez-Singh left the country because she was afraid she would have her other kids taken away.

"Until you show me a body that he's dead, then I'll believe you. I think no way he is dead. Somebody's got him. Somebody's scared that they are going to get in trouble with the law because they've got him, and they got him illegally," said Parson.

Investigators searching for missing Texas 6-year-old believe human remains were once in family shed

Everman police said multiple Human Remains Detection Canines also alerted officials to top soil found underneath a freshly built patio's concrete.

EVERMAN, Texas — Investigators searching for 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez in Everman said Tuesday that new information has led them to believe human remains were present at some point on the property where his family once lived.

Noel has not yet been found in the search, and while cadaver dogs alerted to certain topsoil areas, police said nothing forensic was found and they couldn't indicate specifically whether Noel’s remains were potentially there at one point.

<snip>
According to a press release from police on Tuesday, their focus on the backyard came from an earlier find in the investigation when they learned about a carpet that Noel's stepfather had thrown out the day before the family flew out of the country. With assistance from TEXSAR on Monday, multiple Human Remain Detection Canines alerted officials to a carpet found in a nearby dumpster to the property where the family lived. According to officials, that carpet once lined the floor of a "make-shift" storage shed where a patio in the backyard now sits.

(This "make-shift" shed is separate from the shed on the property in which Rodriguez-Alvarez and his family lived.)

Police said Noel's mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, paid for the concrete to be laid and for a patio to be built where that storage shed once stood in early March 2023.

That led investigators to secure a search warrant for crews to remove the concrete patio. After removing the patio, the Detection Canines again alerted officials -- this time to the top soil underneath the concrete.

Anthropologists from the Tarrant County Medical Examiners Office were called to the scene to help guide crews and investigators as they dug out the topsoil.

The crews placed the removed topsoil in specific areas nearby. According to police, the canines stopped alerting to the soil underneath the patio, but focused their attention on the soil that was already removed.

Because of that, investigators now believe that at some point, there were human remains kept in the shed.

Police said the search around the property where the family lived is over unless they gather new evidence.
 
They didn't use radar, but they did get cadaver dog hits on it.

'It's a jigsaw puzzle': Everman police chief gives new insight in search for 6-year-old boy

Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer sat down with WFAA to discuss 6-year-old Noel's case, its challenges and the key to solving the case.
www.wfaa.com www.wfaa.com

'It's a jigsaw puzzle': Everman police chief gives new insight in search for 6-year-old boy​

“This is an incredible case. This isn’t something I think any of us would’ve expected,” Spencer said. "It’s just been one of those cases when you think you’ve figured it out, you get thrown another curveball on it."

“It’s a jigsaw puzzle. It’s been really challenging. I think the most difficult part of it is there’s so many bits of information in so many places. This whole case is about finding the needle in the haystack, really,” Spencer said. “It doesn’t feel like it has stopped.”

Investigators have ruled out the possibility of the child being with another relative, trafficked or sold.

Despite challenges and citing a lack of physical evidence, Spencer said they are closer to finding Noel’s body today than they were last week.

This week, new information led investigators to believe human remains were present at some point in a makeshift shed near the property where his family once lived.

After investigators excavated a concrete shed in the backyard of the Wisteria Drive home, cadaver dogs alerted to certain topsoil areas, including a piece of carpet Noel’s stepfather, Arshdeep Singh, allegedly dumped the night before Noel’s immediate family flew out of the country.

Police said nothing forensic was found and they couldn't indicate specifically whether Noel’s remains were potentially there at one point.

“The search that we did the other day back at the home where the dogs detected the human remains, that was a solidifying point for us,” Spencer said. “We have multiple dogs alerting to the carpet, where the patio is now. It puts our mind at ease that we’re on the right path, and we’re going in the right direction, so we’re gonna keep pursuing that.”

Foster mom describes 'sweet, lovable' child Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez​

In the small Tarrant County town of Everman, an electronic sign continues to scroll the question etched onto the hearts and minds of the community: Where is Noel?

"He was a sweet little boy," said Patricia Paris, who once fostered the little boy and his siblings. She remembers him as loving, and loveable.

"That was our boy. He loved to give hugs... just a sweet little boy."

She said she never imagined that returning Rodriguez-Alvarez to his birth mother could have led to this.

"No kid, whether disabled or healthy, deserves what happened to him," shared Paris, adding that there are "too many support systems. If we can't handle kids with special needs, we need to seek out help."

Although born prematurely, Paris said Noel could walk, talk, operate his tablet and was overcoming his challenges. She said when he and his siblings were returned to his mother in December of 2021, she was assured of the family's continued support.

"I remember my husband telling her if she feels like she's overwhelmed, if she needed a break, just call us. We would come get him we would take care of him," recalled Paris.

North Texas police plan to continue the nearly month-long search for missing 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez — now considered a death investigation — at new locations this weekend.

Noel hasn’t been seen by his extended family since November but wasn’t reported missing until March. After a saga in which Everman police said his mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, lied to them about the boy’s whereabouts and then fled the country with Noel’s stepfather and six of her other children, American authorities are working with the Indian government to have Rodriguez-Singh and her husband, Arshdeep Singh, extradited back to Texas.

It’s something Noel’s grandmother wants to happen now, according to Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV. TOP VIDEOS

“I’ve felt so much sadness… too much. I start to cry,” Rodriguez-Singh’s mother, who did not want to be identified by name, told WFAA in Spanish.

What she wants now is answers. Noel’s grandmother told WFAA she wants Rodriguez-Singh to come back to the U.S. and tell her where her grandson is. She agrees with the police conclusion that he is dead. “I want her brought back so she can tell us where Noel is,” Rodriguez-Singh’s mother said. “Where is he? What was the reason? He was a boy who didn’t deserve the bad fortune she gave him. He was an innocent child. Poor boy.”
