Noel Rodriguez’s remains were found years after he disappeared. His mother fled to India with the help of his stepfather, Arshdeep Singh, and was arrested in 2025.
Noel Rodriguez – Alvarez was born with a disability. In March 2023, the six-year-old was reported missing by concerned relatives, prompting cops to conduct a welfare check at his home near Dallas, Texas.
His mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, told cops that Noel was sent to Mexico to live with his biological father. But two days later, Cindy left the United States with her husband, Arshdeep Singh, took six other children and went to India. The search for Cindy and Noel continued for years until Cindy was found in India. She is transferred to the United States in 2025 to face murder charges.Last week, the chilling case saw new updates as authorities said they had found Noel’s remains, and they did not give up the search even after Cindy was arrested.
I would tell him. “Rest well, little man. “We’ll take it from here,” Everman Police Chief Al Brooks said in a statement. Brooks said the discovery was the result of a years-long investigation in which law enforcement refused to “give up on Noel.” Tarrant County Prosecutor Phil Sorrels said investigators “will not stop working to get justice for him.”
Who is Cindy Rodriguez?
The woman, who lives in Texas, was listed on the FBI’s list of ten most wanted fugitives last year before her arrest in India.
Investigators are not yet sure why and how Noel was killed. But they are now certain that Noel was killed long before the welfare check in 2023, and that Noel was likely killed in 2022 as he was last seen alive in October 2022.Court records stated that Cindy abused and neglected him and described him as “possessed” or a threat to the other siblings. After her arrest, she was ruled incompetent to stand trial and was allocated for psychiatric treatment.Cindy’s husband, Arshdeep Singh, has been accused of helping Cindy flee the United States, and faces charges of unlawful escape and child endangerment.Cindy has now accused prison officials of sexually assaulting her and using a mind-reading device.
