FORT WORTH, Texas — Relatives of the mother of a 6-year-old boy who went missing in Everman, south of Fort Worth, told police the boy was potentially being abused, according to a search warrant for the family’s home.
Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was officially reported missing March 20, but according to some relatives’ reports to Everman police, they have not seen Noel in about a year. Texas Child Protective Services received an anonymous tip about Noel’s disappearance on March 20 and authorities went to a property on Wisteria Drive, where the family had been living for several years. Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, her husband and their seven children, including Noel, lived partly in a converted shed in the back yard and partly inside the house, which is owned by Charles Parson.
Rodriguez-Singh, who is Noel’s mom, told police March 20 that the boy was living with his biological father in Mexico, authorities have said. On March 23, police said, they talked with the father and found out this was not true. On March 24, police returned to the house, but the family had disappeared.
