A woman on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list has been captured in India and extradited to the United States, where she will face charges in the murder of her 6-year-old son.
Cindy Rodriguez Singh, who was officially added to the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list in July 2025, had been the subject of a global manhunt since October 2023, when she was charged with capital murder by the District Court in Tarrant County, Texas, after allegedly killing her medically vulnerable son, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez.
According to Brighteon.AI's Enoch, Rodriguez Singh disappeared with her husband and six other children on March 22, 2023, boarding an international flight to India. At the time, investigators were searching for her son Noel, who had not been seen since October 2022. Authorities later confirmed the boy was not on the flight, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Noel suffered from numerous medical conditions, including chronic lung disease, a severe developmental disorder and bone density issues.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services requested a welfare check in March 2023 after concerns were raised over his safety. During that welfare check, Rodriguez Singh allegedly misled police, telling them Noel was in Mexico with his biological father. Two days later, she left the country.
A federal warrant for her arrest on charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was issued days later by the U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, Texas.
On Oct. 3, 2024, the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) issued a Red Notice for Rodriguez Singh, notifying all member countries, including India, of the international arrest warrant. An extradition packet was submitted alongside the notice.
Now, Rodriguez Singh was arrested in India through a coordinated international effort involving the FBI, the INTERPOL and Indian authorities. The FBI confirmed that Rodriguez Singh was recently taken into custody in India and has now been returned to the United States. She will be transferred to Texas authorities to face prosecution.
"The FBI's Ten Most Wanted list exists for cases just like this – where a dangerous fugitive thought she could run, hide overseas and escape justice," FBI Director Kash Patel said. "Thanks to relentless FBI work and our international partnerships, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh is back on American soil to face accountability for the horrific murder of her own child. Justice has no borders, and today the American people can see that we will never stop pursuing those who prey on the most innocent among us."
Three other "most wanted" fugitives have been arrested under Patel
Rodriguez Singh is the fourth fugitive on FBI's most wanted list to be captured under the leadership of Patel.
Since January 20, 2025, the FBI has arrested Donald Eugene Fields II, Arnoldo Jimenez and Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales — all high-profile fugitives wanted for violent crimes ranging from child exploitation to murder and narco-terrorism.

On Jan. 25, 60-year-old Donald Eugene Fields II was taken into custody in Lady Lake, Florida, during a routine traffic stop. Fields had been on the Ten Most Wanted list for charges that include statutory rape, child molestation, sexual exploitation of a minor and witness tampering. He now faces both federal and state prosecution.
Just five days later, on Jan. 30, fugitive Arnoldo Jimenez was apprehended in Mexico. Jimenez was wanted for the brutal stabbing murder of his wife in 2012, just hours after their wedding. The FBI coordinated the arrest with Mexican authorities following years of international investigative work.
Then, on March 18, Francisco Javier Roman-Bardales, a top leader in the transnational MS-13 gang, was captured in Mexico. He is accused of leading violent racketeering operations, drug trafficking, human smuggling and so-called "narco-terrorism." He has since been extradited to the U.S. and faces federal charges.
The wave of arrests began just five days after Patel assumed office.
