FOX 4 reporter David Sentendrey got a look inside of the repurposed shed where the now-missing Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez lived.
The backstory:
Noel was last seen alive in the fall of 2022, though authorities were not alerted to his disappearance until March 2023. His mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, currently faces capital murder charges.
Investigators say Rodriguez-Singh originally told police Noel was living with his biological father in Mexico. However, she, her husband and Noel’s six siblings fled to India just two days later. Noel was not with them.
A Tarrant County judge ruled her incompetent to stand trial and ordered her to a state mental health facility.
Noel's remains were found in May of this year.
