Name: Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez.
Died: November 1, 2022 (Missing).
Age at death: 6.
Cause of death: Missing, presumed dead.
Location: Everman, Texas, USA.
Disability: Developmental disorder, unspecified lung condition.
Details:
When Noel was last seen in October 2022, his mother was giving birth to twins, and he was observed to be sick and malnourished. On November 1, his mother went to get passport photos taken for her whole family except for Noel. Months later, on March 20, 2023, a welfare check discovered Noel missing, and two days after that, Noel’s family–mother, stepfather, and six siblings–flew to India without him.
When interviewed, relatives and other witnesses told police that Noel’s mother had been withholding food and water from him because she did not like changing his diapers. They said that Noel’s mother believed he was “evil” and “possessed” and would hurt her newborn twins.
Investigators now believe that Noel is dead, and are conducting a search for his body.
A foster mother with whom Noel once stayed remembers him as a boy who was full of joy, who loved to laugh and play.
Case Status:
Inquest into Noel’s death has been declared a homicide investigation.
Cindy Rodriguez-Singh (Mother) and Arshdeep Singh (Stepfather) are wanted for murder, child abandonment, and child endangerment. The US government is working with the Indian government to extradite them to the US. Noel’s mother was arrested after being added to the FBI Most Wanted list.
