Why Has FBI Issued $25,000 Reward For Info On Woman Linked To India?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a reward of up to $25,000 (approximately ₹20,96,000) for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, who is wanted for the alleged murder of her young son.

FBI Offers $25,000 Reward for Information On Cindy Rodriguez Singh

Cindy Rodriguez Singh is accused of killing her 6-year-old son, who has been missing since October 2022. Rodriguez Singh, who has ties to both India and Mexico, came under investigation after a welfare check by officers from the Everman Police Department in Texas on March 20, 2023. The welfare check was requested by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

During the interview, Rodriguez Singh reportedly misled the officers by claiming that her son was living with his biological father in Mexico since November 2022. However, further investigations revealed that this information was false.

The Disappearance and Escape

Two days after the welfare check, on March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, along with her husband and six other children, boarded an international flight to India. Notably, her missing son was not with them on the flight. This raised further suspicions about her involvement in the disappearance of her son.

On October 31, 2023, the District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas, charged Cindy Rodriguez Singh with capital murder. Following this, a federal arrest warrant was issued on November 2, 2023, by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Fort Worth, charging her with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.

Who Is Cindy Rodriguez Singh?

Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough has called on the media and the public to assist in locating Rodriguez Singh. "Cindy Rodriguez Singh is wanted for allegedly murdering her own young son," Yarbrough said. 

He expressed confidence that the combination of widespread publicity, the significant reward, and the dedicated team of investigators from the FBI Fort Worth Resident Agency violent crime squad, the Everman Police Department, the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, and the Texas DPS-Texas Rangers will eventually lead to her capture.

The FBI has also provided a detailed description of Rodriguez Singh to aid in her identification. She was last seen on March 22, 2023, boarding the flight to India. 

Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1985, Rodriguez Singh is now 39. She is described as being between 5 feet, 1 inch and 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighing between 120 and 140 pounds, and having a medium complexion. She has several tattoos on her back, both legs, right arm, right hand, and right calf. Rodriguez Singh has brown eyes and brown hair.
