Human Remains Found During Search for Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez

Investigators searching for missing Texas boy Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez say human remains were found behind his former home in Everman. Authorities stressed that the remains had not yet been officially identified at the time of the announcement, but described the discovery as a major development in the long-running case.

What Authorities Announced

According to FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth in Human remains found at former home of missing boy Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez: police, Everman police, the FBI, and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday that human remains were found behind the former home where Noel once lived.
