Overview
- The Tarrant County medical examiner confirmed Friday that dental records identified the remains as Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez.
- Investigators recovered the remains during a three-day excavation this week in the backyard of the home on the 3700 block of Wisteria Drive in Everman.
- Officials have not yet determined the cause or manner of death.
- Noel was last seen in October 2022, and after a March 2023 welfare check his mother gave false explanations about his whereabouts before flying to India without him.
- Cindy Rodriguez-Singh was extradited in August 2025, ruled incompetent to stand trial in April 2026, and the district attorney says the case will proceed once her competency is restored.
