New evidence found at Everman home in Noel Rodriguez Alvarez search
Crews searching the Everman home where noel rodriguez alvarez was last seen found new evidence on May 13, 2026, during the third day of work on the property along Wisteria Drive. Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells said investigators had clearly found something, though he did not say what it was.
The search comes more than three years after the 6-year-old was last accounted for in October 2022 and months after his family reported him missing in March 2023. Cindy Rodriguez Singh has already been charged with capital murder in connection with his disappearance, and a judge found her incompetent to stand trial in April 2026.

Yellow crime scene tape surrounded the Everman property while additional law enforcement and crime scene units joined the search on Wednesday. Helicopter footage showed crews concentrating on a hole in the backyard, and aerial images showed investigators digging with excavators and shovels.
Four canopies had been set up side by side on Tuesday, and by Wednesday two of them had been moved. Sorrells said the search was not limited to the home. “We're not just looking there,” he said.
Phil Sorrells on evidence
Sorrells said, “Clearly there was some evidence that was found, but exactly what it is, that remains to be seen,” and added, “I do have high hopes that we're going to get that evidence.” He also said, “We're looking anywhere that will help our case. We're going to track it down because we've got her in our sights, and we're not going to let her go.”
He said, “Cindy Rodriguez Singh thought that she got rid of all the evidence. I don't think that's going to be the case. We're going to track it all down. She thought she got away with killing her own child and fled to India. We went and got her. She thought she was free from this, but she was wrong.”
Cindy Rodriguez Singh case
Defense attorney Bob Gill said, “Cindy is presumed to be not guilty of any criminal offense, that we're still, I think, in the very early stages of the case,” and said she is in jail receiving mental health treatment while she awaits transfer to a state hospital. Gill also said, “I will tell you that, in the vast majority of cases, the competency restoration program and the state hospitals will regain someone's competence.”
Gill said, “They have a huge hole in their case,” adding, “They have charged someone with murder, and they can't say that there has been a murder that's been committed.” He said, “Because the supposed body of the young child has not been found.”
