Human remains discovered at the former Texas residence of Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez have been positively identified as the 6-year-old boy. The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office made the announcement on Thursday, May 15, after dental records confirmed the identity of the child.
Noel was born with physical and developmental disabilities, and law enforcement officials had been searching for him since being alerted to his disappearance in March 2023. PEOPLE previously reported that the child was last seen twice in October 2022, once when his mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, gave birth to twins, and another time when he appeared “malnourished” and “unhealthy.”
