His remains were found earlier this week after investigators executed a search warrant at a residence on Wisteria Drive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, the boy\u2019s mother, disappeared after her son\u2019s disappearance, was captured during an international manhunt, and later charged with capital murder in his death. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Last month, however, a judge ruled the woman was incompetent to stand trial and ordered her to a state psychiatric facility for treatment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis case has weighed heavily on our community from the beginning,\u201d said District Attorney Phil Sorrells. \u201cNoel was a child whose life mattered. He deserved protection, care, and love. Instead, he became the victim of an unthinkable crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Sorrells promised swift justice for Noel and plans to hold the child\u2019s mother accountable. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe owe that to Noel and to the people of Tarrant County,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KWTX.
