Stepfather of Missing Everman Boy Stole $10,000 Before Fleeing to India: Police

The stepfather of missing 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, who is presumed dead, has been charged with theft after allegedly stealing $10,000 from his employer before leaving for India with his wife and her six children. The family is also facing charges of felony child abandonment and endangerment. The investigation has uncovered allegations of child abuse and neglect, with family members claiming that Noel was malnourished and regularly abused. Multiple cadaver dogs have "alerted" to the presence of human remains under a new patio at the family's rented home, but no physical material has been found large enough to test.
