An Amber Alert for a missing 6-year-old boy from Texas has been canceled after investigators learned the child has not been seen since November, and his family has left the country.
Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez is now considered an endangered missing person, according to Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer.
“This change does not affect the course of our investigation. We plan to continue to investigate this case to the fullest of our capabilities,” Spencer said during a Sunday press conference.
Rodriguez-Alvarez reportedly has “numerous physical and developmental challenges.” Police received information he may be with his father in Mexico, who was tracked down and told investigators he was deported before the boy’s birth, and never met his son. Homeland Security records confirmed the father’s statements.
The boy’s biological mother, 37-year-old Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, has had prior investigations and actions involving her with child protective services. She also has an extensive criminal history involving alcohol-related offenses, Spencer said.
