FBI Offers Reward in Search for Mother who Allegedly told Relatives She Sold her Son

Dallas, Texas: Federal authorities have intensified their efforts to capture Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, the mother accused of murdering her 6-year-old disabled son, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez. The Dallas FBI has issued an Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP) warrant for Rodriguez-Singh, coupled with a $25,000 reward for information leading to her arrest. This development marks a significant escalation in the long and frustrating search for justice in Noel’s disappearance and presumed death.

The Disappearance and Flight to India

Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was last seen alive in October 2022, and his whereabouts have remained a mystery ever since. In March 2023, Rodriguez-Singh and her family, including six other children and her husband Arshdeep Singh, fled to India, just two days before an Amber Alert was issued for Noel. Despite initial hopes that the boy might still be alive, evidence quickly pointed to a much darker conclusion: Noel was likely dead, and his mother was believed to be responsible.

The Everman Police Department, led by Chief Craig Spencer, has been relentless in pursuing the case, despite the limited physical evidence. Since the case was officially treated as a criminal matter in late March 2023, law enforcement has pieced together a troubling narrative of deception and alleged violence. Rodriguez-Singh reportedly provided conflicting accounts of Noel’s whereabouts, telling authorities at one point that the boy was living with his biological father in Mexico—a claim that was later disproven.

A Case Filled with Disturbing Allegations

As the investigation progressed, disturbing details began to emerge. According to a search warrant, Rodriguez-Singh allegedly told Noel’s grandmother that she had sold him to another woman at a Fiesta Market, a popular grocery store chain in North Texas. In the days leading up to Noel’s disappearance, Rodriguez-Singh reportedly described her son as “evil, possessed, or having a demon in him.” Authorities also discovered that she worshipped a cult-like folk saint associated with death, a figure often linked to violent drug cartels. These chilling details have been cited as “very important” to the case, further solidifying suspicions of foul play.

In October 2023, a Tarrant County grand jury formally indicted Rodriguez-Singh on charges of capital murder, two counts of injury to a child, and one count of abandoning a child without intent to return. Despite these indictments, Rodriguez-Singh remains at large, and law enforcement has struggled to locate her. The FBI’s UFAP warrant is the latest attempt to break the case, with authorities hoping that the reward will generate new leads.

Calls for Justice and the Community’s Plea

During a recent press conference, Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough expressed confidence that the combined efforts of the FBI, Everman Police Department, Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, and Texas DPS-Texas Rangers would lead to Rodriguez-Singh’s capture. “The community of Everman needs justice for Noel,” Yarbrough said, emphasizing the importance of bringing Rodriguez-Singh to justice.

Chief Spencer echoed these sentiments, stressing the urgency of apprehending Rodriguez-Singh for the safety of the community and her other children. “The immediate capture of Cindy Rodriguez-Singh is so incredibly important in the interest of justice,” he stated. Noel’s former foster mother also made a heartfelt plea to Rodriguez-Singh during an interview with Dallas-based ABC affiliate WFAA. “Cindy, I think you need to come back, turn yourself in, and face the consequences of what you’ve done,” she said, urging Rodriguez-Singh to do the right thing. “It’s not too late to tell what you know.”
