Rodriguez Singh had been wanted on a Texas state warrant for capital murder of a person under 10 years of age, and a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Her son, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez, had numerous health and developmental complications, including chronic lung disease, pulmonary edema, a severe developmental disorder, bone density problems, social disorder, and estropia, according to officials.

On March 20, 2023, the Everman, Texas, Police Department was asked by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to conduct a welfare check on the boy, who had not been seen since October 2022.
Investigators said Rodriguez Singh misled authorities during the check, claiming Noel was living in Mexico with his biological father since November 2022.
Two days later, on March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, her husband, and six other children boarded a flight to India. Authorities confirmed Noel was not present and did not travel with them.
On October 31, 2023, Rodriguez Singh was charged with capital murder in Tarrant County District Court in Fort Worth, Texas.
A federal warrant followed on November 2, 2023, after she was indicted on unlawful flight charges. In July 2024, she was officially placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list.
International Pursuit
INTERPOL issued a Red Notice for Rodriguez Singh on October 3, 2024. Indian officials cooperated with U.S. authorities after receiving an extradition packet. The FBI confirmed she was apprehended and transported back to the U.S., where she will be turned over to Texas officials.
“The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list exists for cases just like this — where a dangerous fugitive thought she could run, hide overseas, and escape justice,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.
“Thanks to relentless FBI work and our international partnerships, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh is back on American soil to face accountability for the horrific murder of her own child.”
Patel added: “Justice has no borders, and today the American people can see that we will never stop pursuing those who prey on the most innocent among us.”
