FBI Arrests Cindy Singh in India for Son’s Murder

The FBI, working with Indian authorities and INTERPOL, arrested Singh in India and transported her to the United States. She will be handed over to Texas authorities, Fox News reported.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed her arrest, noting she was on the bureau’s "Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive" list. Singh faces charges in Texas for allegedly murdering her son, Noel Alvarez.

She is wanted on state charges of killing her six-year-old son and will face charges of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution and Capital Murder of a person under 10 years of age, Patel said in a post on X.

"FBI has arrested another Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive: Cindy Rodriguez Singh. Singh is wanted on state charges of killing her six-year-old son. She will face charges of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution and Capital Murder of a person under 10 years of age," Patel said.

According to Patel, Singh lied to authorities about her son’s whereabouts in March 2023 and then fled to India.

"In March of 2023, authorities in Everman, Texas conducted a welfare search for Singh’s child after he had not been seen since October 2022. Singh allegedly lied to authorities about his whereabouts, and two days later boarded a flight to India — and we believe has not been back to the United States since," Patel said.

He added that Singh was charged in October 2023 in the District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas. In November, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.

Patel lauded the FBI and Indian law enforcement for their coordination.

"This is the 4th ‘10 Most Wanted’ fugitive arrested in the last 7 months. That’s a credit to tremendous field work, law enforcement partners, intelligence operatives, and an administration letting good cops do their jobs. Thanks to our local partners in Texas, The Justice Department, as well as partners in India for coordinating. Dallas and New York FBI did tremendous work," Patel said.

Cindy Rodriguez Singh carried a reward of up to USD 25,000 for information leading to her arrest. She has ties to India and Mexico.

She was wanted for allegedly killing her six-year-old son, who hasn’t been seen alive since October 2022.
