The Dallas FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, the mother of Noel Alvarez Rodriguez, a 6-year-old disabled boy who has been missing since October 2022 and is now presumed dead, with his own mother being the suspect.
FBI Special Agent in Charge of Dallas Chad Yarbrough and Everman, Texas, Police Chief Craig Spencer announced a reward leading to the arrest and conviction of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, 39, for capital murder after she was a possible suspect in her son’s death, the FBI said in a statement, along with a photograph of the woman.
Noel Alvarez, 6, was last seen in October 2022, authorities said. On March 20, 2023, at the request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Everman Police Department officers conducted a welfare check on the boy’s behalf.
Agents spoke to Rodriguez Singh, who allegedly lied, as when questioned about the whereabouts of her child, she explained that she lived with her biological father in Mexico, and had been there since November 2022.
The woman, her husband and other children fled to India
Two days after that interview, the woman, her husband and six other minors boarded an international flight to India, the FBI said. At that time, they determined that Noel did not board the flight and was never heard from again, so he is presumed dead.
In October of last year, Cindy Rodriguez was charged with capital murder in Tarrant County District Court in Fort Worth, Texas. As of November 2023, a federal arrest warrant was issued for the suspect and fugitive in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth, Texas, after she was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, the statement added.
The child’s death remains under investigation.
Police Chief Craig Spencer said the mother’s “immediate capture” was “incredibly important” not only “in the interests of justice” but also for “the safety of the other children in her custody.”
Noel’s death remains local, though authorities have received multiple tips since the reward was offered, but “will examine each one carefully to look for any information that may lead to the location of Rodriguez Singh,” Spencer added.
In making the announcement, SAC Yarbrough asked the media and the public to help locate Rodriguez Singh.
“Cindy Rodriguez Singh is wanted for the alleged murder of her own son,” Yarbrough said. “I am confident that the combination of publicity, a significant reward offer, and the team of experienced investigators assembled by the FBI Fort Worth Resident Agency Violent Crimes Squad, the Everman Police Department, the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, and the DPS Texas Rangers will lead to her arrest. The Everman community needs justice for Noel.”
