The law enforcement officials said they are confident adding Rodriguez-Singh's name to the Most Wanted list and significantly increasing the reward will culminate in her arrest.
"This is a case that is still fresh in the minds of Everman residents and many of us across North Texas. None of us will ever forget Noel, and we will not rest until Cindy is apprehended and returned to the U.S. so she can answer for her alleged crimes," said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge R.

"This designation puts the world on notice that Cindy Rodriguez-Singh is now one of the most wanted fugitives in America. You don't end up on the FBI's Top Ten list by accident. This is as serious as it gets," said Craig Spencer, Everman’s former police chief and current city manager. "Cindy Rodriguez-Singh may be across the world, but someone knows where she is. And now they have 250,000 reasons to come forward."
Everman Missing Boy
FBI offers $25K reward for Cindy Rodriguez-Singh info
The FBI and Everman Police are searching for Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, a woman who is accused of killing her 6-year-old son Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez. Investigators say Rodriguez-Singh fled the country days before an AMBER Alert was issued for her missing son.
The backstory:
Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez was last seen alive in the fall of 2022.
However, police in his hometown of Everman weren’t made aware of his disappearance until March of 2023.
That’s when an extended relative reported him missing and police and Child Protective Services were called to the then 6-year-old’s home.
Police said Noel's mother lied to investigators and told them he was living with his biological father in Mexico.
Two days later, Rodriguez-Singh, her husband, and Noel's six siblings left the country on a flight to India. Noel was not on that flight and they haven’t been seen since.
Rodriguez-Singh is now wanted for multiple felony charges, including capital murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Noel is presumed dead, but his remains were never found.
Timeline:
What you can do:
Rodriguez-Singh was last seen on March 22, 2023 as she, her husband, and her six other children boarded an international flight to India.
She's described as being 5 feet 1 inches tall and about 120 to 140 pounds. She's 40 years old, has brown hair, brown eyes, a medium complexion and tattoos on her back, both legs, right arm, right hand, and right calf.
