FBI adds Cindy Rodriguez Singh to Ten Most Wanted, offers $250,000 reward; Everman officials urge tips

Joe Rothrock, special agent in charge of the FBI Dallas Field Office, announced at a press event in Everman that the FBI has added Cindy Rodriguez Singh to its Ten Most Wanted fugitives list and is offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to her arrest. "We are confident that her addition to the top 10 list and the significant reward will culminate in her arrest," Rothrock said.

The FBI said Singh is wanted federally for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution stemming from a capital murder indictment in Tarrant County. Rothrock provided a last confirmed sighting date of March 22, 2023, saying Singh, her husband and six juvenile children boarded an international flight bound for India and that 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez Alvarez did not board that flight. "This is a case that is still fresh in the minds of Everman residents and many of us across North Texas," Rothrock said.

Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells, who said a grand jury has indicted Singh on capital murder charges, described the alleged victim as a 6-year-old child with profound medical challenges. "Fleeing the country doesn't absolve you of guilt. It reinforces it," Sorrells said, adding that authorities are working with the FBI and international partners to secure Singh's return.

Craig Spencer, Everman's city manager and emergency management coordinator and a former Everman police chief, called the FBI designation a "global manhunt" and said the designation brings federal and international resources to the search. Spencer thanked the Everman Police Department, the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office and the Texas Rangers for their work on the case.

Rothrock gave identifying details for Singh, saying she was born in Dallas in 1985, is about 40 years old, believed to have ties to India and Mexico, stands roughly 5'1"–5'3" and weighs about 120–140 pounds, with multiple tattoos. He urged anyone with information to call the FBI Dallas Field Office at (972) 559-5000 or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov; people outside the United States were advised to contact the nearest American embassy.

Opening the session for questions, Rothrock reiterated that Singh is not in custody and that the FBI relies on public tips and global investigative partnerships to pursue extradition and arrest. He said investigators are positioned overseas (including personnel in New Delhi) to work with foreign governments but cautioned that "each extradition is unique." Rothrock pointed to recent local successes in returning Top 10 fugitives as part of the rationale for the publicity and reward.

The announcement did not include a new investigative update on searches inside the United States. No arrests were announced at the event. Officials closed by asking anyone with information to come forward and by thanking the community for its support.

Next steps: authorities said the reward and publicity are intended to generate new leads; the investigation remains active and international cooperation and extradition processes will determine the timeline for any return to the United States.
