Missing Texas boy found in filthy shed with 'death altar'; mother and stepfather face charges.
A missing Texas boy, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, was found living in a filthy shed with an altar to Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, a female cult figure that personifies death in Mexico. The boy's mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, who has an extensive criminal history, is believed to have left the country with six of her children and their stepfather, leaving Noel behind. Police have issued an arrest warrant for Rodriguez-Singh and plan to charge her for making false reports to a police officer regarding a missing person and for violating her probation in an unrelated case.
