Overview

• Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, has been indicted on one count of capital murder, two counts of injury to a child, and one count of abandoning a child without the intent to return, in relation to her 6-year-old son, Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, who has been missing since October 2022.
• Family members reported that Noel, who suffered from mental and developmental disabilities, was subjected to abuse and neglect by Rodriguez-Singh including withholding food and water because she did not like changing his diaper.
• Rodriguez-Singh and her husband, along with their six other children, fled to India in March 2023, two days after Child Protective Services started an investigation prompted by a tip about Noel's absence.
• Investigators found evidence of human remains in a shed at the family's former home, upon which the family had suspiciously built a concrete patio just before fleeing to India.
• Rodriguez-Singh, who has a crime history and was indicted while hiding in India, is now a priority for federal authorities to apprehend and extradite back to the U.S. where she will face charges.
