EVERMAN, Texas — Everman police said Thursday they believe that a 6-year-old boy who hasn’t been seen by family since October is likely dead, more than 10 days after an amber alert was issued in late March.
“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,” chief Craig Spencer said at a news conference.
Outside the city’s civic center, where the conference was held, a marquee showed the face of the boy, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, with a police phone number and email and a message above in capital letters that read, “WHERE IS NOEL?”
