The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, wanted for the alleged murder of her young son.
It is notable that Rodriguez Singh has ties to India and Mexico. She is wanted for the alleged murder of her 6-year-old son, who has not been seen alive since October 2022.
At the request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, officers with the Everman Police Department conducted a welfare check on the boy's behalf on March 20, 2023.
During questioning for detention, Rodriguez Singh lied to agents when they explained that the boy lived with his biological father in Mexico and had been there since November 2022, according to the FBI's official website.
On March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, her husband, and six other minor children boarded an international flight to India. It was determined that the missing child was not present and did not board the flight.
On October 31, 2023, Cindy Rodriguez Singh was charged with first-degree murder in the United States District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas. On November 2, 2023, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Rodriguez Singh in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth, Texas, after she was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
In announcing the case, FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough asked the media and the public for help in locating Rodriguez Singh.
“Cindy Rodriguez Singh is wanted for the alleged murder of her own young son,” Yarbrough said. “I am confident that the combination of publicity, a substantial reward and the team of experienced investigators assembled by the FBI Fort Worth Resident Agency violence crime squad, Everman Police Department, Tarrant County District Attorney's Office and Texas DPS-Texas Rangers will lead to her arrest.”
The FBI further said on its official website that Rodriguez Singh's last confirmed sighting was on March 22, 2023, when she, her husband and six minor children boarded an international flight to India. She was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1985 and is 39 years old.
The fugitive is described as being between 5 feet, 1 inch and 5 feet, 3 inches tall; 120-140 pounds; has a medium complexion and tattoos on her back, both legs, right arm, right hand, and right calf. She has brown eyes and brown hair.
