Missing Texas boy lived in filthy shed with ‘death altar’: report
A lacking Texas boy who was the topic of an Amber Alert almost per week in the past had been dwelling in a grimy shack that included an altar to dying, in response to media experiences.
Video of the squalor, obtained by Dallas’ Fox station, reveals a shed filled with meals, private belongings and two beds the place 9 individuals — together with Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, 6, lived.
Contained in the Everman, Texas, shed the place the kid was final seen there’s an altar to Santa Muerte, or Saint Dying — a feminine cult determine that personifies dying in Mexico.
Santa Muerte has been denounced by the Catholic Church however has grown in reputation not too long ago — significantly with members of the Gulf, Sinaloa and Juarez drug cartels, the DEA stated.
“With a globe in a single hand and a jeweled sickle within the different, the statue’s symbolism of non-public empowerment and terror appeals to drug sellers,” the company said.
Investigators together with the FBI, who was requested to help native forces within the small city south of Fort Value, have been seen coming and going from the shed this week with paperwork and different items of proof.
An Amber Alert was issued for Noel on Saturday, after police and youngster protecting providers have been tipped off by relations who claimed they hadn’t seen the boy — described as having bodily and developmental challenges in months. His mom is believed to have left the nation.
“He was born at 25 weeks, and subsequently, has a variety of bodily disabilities and developmental issues,” Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer instructed WFAA.
“He suffers from social dysfunction…and has continual lung illness, which has required him to be on oxygen at sure factors of time.”
Previous to the Amber Alert being issued, the boys’ mom, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, 37, was contacted by police and youngster protecting providers. When requested about Noel’s whereabouts, she instructed investigators he was in Mexico, staying along with his organic father. Nonetheless authorities later realized the boy’s father by no means met the boy, as he had been deported from the US earlier than he was born.
When investigators tried reaching out to Noel’s siblings, they realized the kids had been pulled from college.
Earlier than authorities might make contact with Rodriguez-Singh once more, she boarded a aircraft with six of her youngsters and their stepfather. Noel was not on the flight, Everman police instructed Fox. Authorities imagine they flew to Turkey, earlier than making their option to India — the place Rodriguez-Singh’s present husband is from.
The dingy shed is situated behind the house of Charles Parson, 71. He instructed an area station he met Rodriguez-Singh at a grocery retailer almost a decade in the past and provided two spare rooms in his house for the reason that single mother was “going by way of a tough patch.”
Finally she moved into the shed as she had extra children — with a complete of ten. Three of them reside with their grandparents.
“They’re scared they’re going to get in hassle with the legislation,” Parson defined. “They’re afraid they could have accomplished one thing fallacious.”
The person, who thought-about himself Noel’s godfather, believes the boy’s mother didn’t harm him and that the kid remains to be alive.
“I do know her,” he provided as proof.
In the meantime, police have issued an arrest warrant for Rodriguez-Singh and plan to cost her for making false experiences to a police officer concerning a lacking particular person, and for violating her probation in an unrelated case.
Police describe her as having an “intensive legal historical past” and defined she was the topic of a earlier Youngster Protecting Providers investigation.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Rivalries in postseason games often tend to bring out the absolute best in most players. The combination sometimes serves as a great equalizer.
That was certainly the case Saturday night as heavily -favored Texas A&M had to scratch and claw its way to a 4-2 11-inning win over rival Texas to advance to the driver’s seat at the College Station Regional.
It didn’t take long for everyone, including Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle, to realize that the Aggies were in for a dogfight against the Longhorns.
Going into the game, I was curious how Texas[…]
NORTH TEXAS – Welp. The storm season isn’t done with us yet, even when our storm chances are only isolated and there aren’t any major markers for activity.
The remnants of a storm system to the west overnight sparked new storm development in North Texas on Saturday morning, and we had a few isolated severe storms Saturday afternoon in North Texas. There was a “mini microburst” around 1 p.m. that produced 70-80 mph winds in Irving and damaged the Irving Police Department’s northern station. It’s barely discernable on radar – looking like nothing more than some gusty winds – but sure enough the damage was done.
That storm tracked east/southeast, but another storm behind it tracked farther southeast into Kaufman and eventually Henderson and Anderson counties, producing some moderate to large size hail. (reports of tennis ball to baseball size hail in Malakoff).
All of this activity is moving east Saturday night, and I do not anticipate storms or a severe threat overnight. In fact, most of Sunday looks good too.
I’ve got isolated storm chances in the afternoon, but I’m more concerned about what we might see heading late Sunday night into Monday morning.
While I don’t believe this warrants a weather alert just yet, we’ll have to watch out for storms approaching from West Texas late in the evening.
I think these storms will be moving into our western counties between 10 p.m. and midnight Sunday into Monday.
As these storms get closer to North Texas, they’re expected to move into a more capped environment and weaken. But with all the rain we’ve had, the flooding threat will certainly be there. And if these storms don’t weaken, then a wind and hail threat would be there too.
If this does in fact materialize, we’ll have to watch to see if the atmosphere is worked over enough to limit storm activity into Monday. For now, short-range models are suggesting we could see more storm development around that initial overnight round.
For now, I have rain chances highest overnight Sunday into early Monday. By Tuesday, the rain/storm chances drop to 20%. It will be warm and windy Tuesday, and the heat stays on through the end of the week and into next weekend.
Things have been looking up for the Miami Marlins.
After a disastrous start to the season, Miami finished May with a winning record thanks to taking down the Texas Rangers 8-2 last night in loanDepot Park. Even better, they did it behind a good start from Sixto Sánchez, who didn’t allow a first-inning run for the first time this season.
Lefty Ryan Weathers (3-4, 3.16) gets the call for the middle game of the series, with Texas countering with veteran Michael Lorenzen (2-3, 3.35 ERA).
Here’s how Miami will line up for the contest:
CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
DH Bryan De La Cruz
1B Josh Bell
RF Jesús Sánchez
3B Jake Burger
LF Nick Gordon
SS Tim Anderson
2B Otto Lopez
C Nick Fortes
Weathers is coming off of a great May, a month where he had five quality starts and finished with a 1.91 ERA, including eight scoreless innings against the Detroit Tigers and six scoreless against the other half of last season’s World Series matchup, the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’s never faced Texas as a starter, however, although several Rangers have at-bats off of him in their careers owing to his time with the San Diego Padres: Corey Seager is 3-10 with a homer and Nate Lowe is 2-4 with two RBI.
Here is the Rangers lineup:
2B Marcus Semien
SS Corey Seager
DH Robbie Grossman
RF Adolis García
1B Ezequiel Duran
LF Wyatt Langford
3B Josh Smith
CF Leody Taveras
C Andrew Knizner
Lorenzen’s been valuable rotation depth to a Rangers squad that seemingly has an entire rotation on the injured list. He’s also familiar with Miami, owing to his time in the division while a member of the Philadelphia Phillies last season. He started against the Marlins on August 3rd, going eight innings with two runs allowed on eight hits in a 4-2 Phillies victory in Miami.
First pitch for this afternoon’s matchup is scheduled for 4:10 PM ET, and there’s a full suite of broadcast options: In-market, the Marlins broadcast is on Bally Sports Florida and the Rangers are on Bally Sports Southwest. For audio, the Miami broadcast is available on Fox Sports 940AM (WINZ) and WAQI 710, while Texas is on 105.3 The Fan and KFLC 1270.
