Introduction to the Case
Cindy Cecilia Rodriguez-Singh, the mother of a missing Everman boy who was returned to Tarrant County from India last month, has been indicted on a slew of new charges. Rodriguez-Singh, 40, fled the country in March 2023 after investigators conducted a welfare check to look for Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, her 6-year-old son who family members reported hadn’t been seen since October 2022. While Noel has yet to be found, he was presumed dead in April 2023 after a search of the family’s home led investigators to believe human remains were once kept inside a shed on the property.
Arrest and Charges
Rodriguez-Singh was arrested last month and booked into the Tarrant County jail on Aug. 21, records show. She was initially charged with capital murder of a person under the age of 10. On Monday, she was indicted on two counts of injury to a child, one count of abandoning or endangering a child without intent to return and one count of abandoning or endangering a child with imminent danger of bodily injury.
Additional Charges and Indictment
All of the new charges are felonies. Rodriguez-Singh has also been federally charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The indictment alleges Noel died on Oct. 25, 2022, and that Rodriguez-Singh withheld food and water from her son. Relatives and witnesses told police in 2023 that Rodriguez-Singh abused Noel and referred to him as being “evil, possessed or having a demon in him.” Noel was diagnosed with several illnesses, including speech delay, esotropia in both eyes and chronic lung disease.
Investigation and Search
Rodriguez-Singh was added to the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive list in July. Officials had offered a $250,000 reward for information leading to her capture. The search for Noel and the investigation into Rodriguez-Singh’s actions have been ongoing, with authorities working to piece together the events surrounding Noel’s disappearance and presumed death.
Current Status
She remained in the Tarrant County jail on Thursday on $10 million bond. The case against Rodriguez-Singh is ongoing, with further investigations and legal proceedings expected in the coming weeks and months.
