In a chilling case out of Everman, Texas, 39-year-old Cindy Rodriguez Singh is now a fugitive wanted on charges of capital murder in relation to her missing six-year-old son, Noel Rodriguez‑Alvarez. What began with her shocking claim that she “sold” the boy at a grocery store has evolved into a serious manhunt led by the FBI and local authorities.
Noel, who had chronic lung disease and developmental disabilities, was last seen in October 2022, at which time his mother reportedly told family members he was in Mexico with his biological father . In March 2023, child protective services conducted a welfare check after months of no contact. Cindy claimed Noel was with his father, but investigators soon discovered she had fled the U.S.—boarding a flight to India in late March 2023 with her husband and six other children, NOT including Noel.
As the investigation unfolded, Cindy allegedly told her own mother that she “sold” Noel to a woman at a Fiesta Market grocery store . She also reportedly described her son as “evil, possessed, or having a demon in him” just before his disappearance . Investigators now believe the boy was likely killed, although his body has not been recovered.
Cadaver dogs detected possible human remains in a shed behind the family’s home in Everman. Further investigation led to the excavation of a concrete-covered area that could conceal remains . The circumstances intensified suspicion of foul play, prompting the FBI to issue a federal warrant under the Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution statute, and offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to Cindy’s arrest.
Since the flight to India, Cindy Rodriguez Singh has not been located. Authorities warn she may have connections in India and Mexico . The Tarrant County District Attorney, Texas DPS-Texas Rangers, Everman PD, and FBI Fort Worth are collaborating in the high-priority investigation . Police describe Noel’s disappearance amid these claims and circumstances as deeply suspicious.
Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer emphasized that Noel deserved care and protection, and that his family had failed him before the tragedy unfolded . The case has sparked outrage in the community, with parents voicing fears of similar horrors. Authorities stress the need for vigilance and prompt reporting to prevent cases like this.
Rodriguez Singh is currently charged with capital murder, a charge that could result in life imprisonment—or even the death penalty—in Texas . She also faces charges related to unlawful flight. If apprehended, Cindy is expected to be extradited back to Texas to face prosecution.
This case illustrates how dangerous and unpredictable child exploitation situations can be—even by a child’s own parent. Cindy’s alleged beliefs that her son was “possessed” and her shocking “sale” claim highlight the urgent importance of mental health awareness, proper care for children with disabilities, and robust child welfare interventions.
A mother’s claim of “selling” her son is not just shocking—it’s a possible sign of premeditated violence. As law enforcement explores every lead in this unfolding, tragic saga, the community waits anxiously for answers. The disappearance of Noel Rodriguez‑Alvarez and the whereabouts of Cindy Rodriguez Singh remain a top priority in Texas and FBI investigations.
Let us hope this tragedy is solved swiftly, bringing justice to Noel and accountability for those responsible.
