A Texas woman who was on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive list in connection with the presumed death of her 6-year-old son has been arrested.
Cindy Rodriguez Singh, 40, was charged with capital murder in 2023 in the death of Noel Alvarez, whose body has never been found. The charge was filed in Fort Worth, Texas, about seven months after Singh left the U.S. for India amid the investigation into Noel's disappearance, the FBI said.
The FBI did not say where Rodriguez Singh was arrested but agency Director Kash Patel said on X that she is in custody on charges of capital murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
The FBI initally offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to her arrest. They increased the reward to $250,000 and put Rodriguez Singh on its most wanted list in July.
It was not immediately clear where Rodriguez Singh is being held or whether she has obtained an attorney.
