Everman, TX, July 3, 2025: The FBI has added Cindy Rodriguez Singh, 40, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of her 6-year-old son, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez. The case, which has gripped the Everman community since early 2023, is now drawing international attention as authorities pursue Rodriguez Singh and her husband, Arshdeep Singh, believed to be hiding in India.
Noel, who had serious developmental and physical disabilities, was last seen alive in October 2022 when his mother gave birth to twins at a hospital. In March 2023, concerned about Noel’s well-being, Texas Child Protective Services requested a welfare check. During the investigation, Rodriguez Singh gave false and conflicting accounts of Noel’s whereabouts—at times claiming he was in Mexico with his father, at other times saying she had “given him away” at a local grocery store parking lot. None of these statements were substantiated.
Just days later, on March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, her husband Arshdeep Singh, and six of her other children boarded an international flight from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to India. Noel was not with them. Authorities believe the family fled to avoid criminal prosecution.
Arshdeep Singh, originally from Punjab, India, is Noel’s stepfather and has also been implicated in the case. In the days leading up to their departure, Arshdeep allegedly stole $10,000 in cash from his employer, AGHA Enterprises, where he worked as a delivery driver. According to police, he altered deposit records and used surveillance-blind spots to carry out the theft. He then wired $8,000 to his personal account, possibly to fund the family’s flight abroad. Arshdeep now faces charges of felony theft, in addition to child abandonment and endangerment.
In October 2023, a grand jury in Tarrant County indicted Cindy Rodriguez Singh on charges of capital murder, two counts of injury to a child, and abandoning a child without the intent to return. A federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued the following month.
On July 1, 2025, the FBI added Rodriguez Singh to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and increased the reward for information leading to her capture to $250,000. She is only the 12th woman ever added to the FBI’s infamous list and the 537th fugitive overall.
“You don’t end up on the FBI Top Ten list by accident. This is as serious as it gets,” said Everman’s city manager and former police chief Craig Spencer. “This case still weighs heavily on our community.”
FBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock echoed the urgency of the situation. “We are confident that this publicity will culminate in her arrest. Our goal is justice for Noel.”
Authorities believe both Cindy and Arshdeep may still be in India, where he has family connections. Efforts are ongoing to locate and extradite them. Law enforcement agencies are coordinating with international partners, but no arrests have been made as of now.
Noel’s remains have not been found, but investigators presume he is dead. According to court records, Cindy had a documented history of child abuse, including forcing Noel to drink excessive amounts of water and hitting him with car keys. One relative told police she witnessed Cindy hiding Noel in a shed behind the home and refusing to feed him.
As the search for Cindy Rodriguez Singh and Arshdeep Singh continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or visiting tips.fbi.gov.
