FBI offers $25,000 reward for information on Cindy Rodriguez Singh, suspected of killing her son
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Cindy Rodriguez Singh, who is wanted in connection with the death of her infant son.
Rodriguez Singh, who has ties to both Mexico and India, is sought by authorities after her 6-year-old son was last seen alive in October 2022. The search intensified following a welfare check conducted by an officer from the Everman Police Department on March 20, 2023, at the request of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
According to the FBI, Rodriguez Singh misled officers during the welfare check, claiming that her son had been living with his biological father in Mexico since November 2022. On March 22, 2023, Rodriguez Singh, her spouse, and their six other children boarded an international flight to India. The missing child did not board the flight with them.
Rodriguez Singh was formally charged with capital homicide on October 31, 2023, in Tarrant County District Court, Fort Worth, Texas. She faces additional charges of ‘Unlawful Flight’ to avoid prosecution. On November 2, 2023, a federal arrest warrant was issued for her by the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, in Fort Worth.
Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough has urged the public and media to assist in locating Rodriguez Singh. "Cindy Rodriguez Singh is wanted for allegedly murdering her own young son," Yarbrough stated. "I am confident that the combination of publicity, a substantial reward, and the collaborative efforts of the FBI Fort Worth Resident Agency’s violent crime squad, Everman Police Department, Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, and Texas DPS-Texas Rangers will lead to her arrest."
Rodriguez Singh, 39, was last seen on March 22, 2023, when she and her family flew to India. She was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1985. Rodriguez Singh is described as weighing between 120 and 140 pounds, standing 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches tall, with medium-toned skin. She has tattoos on her back, both legs, right arm, right hand, and right calf. Her hair and eyes are brown.

UDF leaders see local body poll trends as pointer to 2026 Assembly elections in Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): Buoyed by the strong performance of the Congress-led UDF in the local body polls, KPCC president Sunny Joseph said on Saturday that the front's results indicated the people had rejected the LDF government.
According to early trends, the UDF was leading in more grama panchayats, block panchayats, municipalities and corporations than the LDF.
The local body polls were held in two phases in the state earlier this week.

Speaking to reporters here, Joseph said the people of Kerala had extended their support to the UDF.
"We could expose the LDF government’s anti-people stance and the people understood it. The LDF’s fake propaganda was rejected by the people. The UDF is moving towards a historic victory," he said.
He said a united effort, proper preparations, good candidate selection and hard work had resulted in the Congress and the UDF’s victory in the elections.
Asked about the prospects in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, Joseph said the party was studying the matter and would comment later.
LDF convenor T P Ramakrishnan said the results would be closely examined.
According to him, the government had done everything possible for the people.
"Why such a verdict happened will be examined at the micro level. People’s opinion will be considered and further steps will be taken," he said.
He added that decisions would be taken after analysing the results. "If any corrective measures are required, we will initiate them and move forward," he said.
AICC leader K C Venugopal said the results showed that people had begun ousting those who, he alleged, were responsible for the loss of gold at Lord Ayyappa’s temple.
"This trend will continue in the Assembly elections as well. It is an indication that the people are ready to bring down the LDF government," he said.
Venugopal said the UDF had registered victories even in CPI(M) and LDF strongholds.
"I congratulate all UDF workers for their hard work. Congress workers and leaders worked unitedly," he said.
Referring to remarks made by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan against the Congress on polling day, Venugopal said the voters had responded through the verdict.
"I do not know whether the chief minister understands that the people are against him. Otherwise, he does not know the sentiment of the people. The state government cannot move an inch further," he said.
He said the results indicated a strong comeback for the UDF in Kerala.
Asked whether the Sabarimala gold loss issue had affected the LDF in the local polls, Venugopal said the CM and the CPI(M) state secretary did not take the issue seriously.
"We took a strong stand on the matter. The BJP played a foul game in it," he alleged.
On the BJP's role in the local body elections, Venugopal alleged that the party operated with the CPI(M) 's tacit support.
"The CPI(M) supported the central government on issues such as PM-SHRI, labour codes and corruption in national highway construction. The CPI(M) is facing ideological decline, and the state government’s policies are against the party’s own decisions," he said.
Meanwhile, LDF ally Kerala Congress (M) leader Jose K Mani said the party could not win all the wards it had expected in the elections.
He congratulated winners from all parties and said the party would closely examine the losses and identify shortcomings. "Later, we will take corrective measures," he added.
Senior Congress leader and MP Rajmohan Unnithan said the trends in the local body elections indicated that the UDF would return to power in the 2026 Assembly elections.
"We will win 111 seats as in 1977 and return to power in 2026. The anti-government sentiment of the people is reflected in the elections," he said.
Unnithan said the people were disturbed and unhappy with the present government.
"The trend indicates the end of the LDF government," he added.
CPI(M) MLA M M Mani said the people had shown ingratitude towards the LDF despite benefiting from welfare schemes.
"After receiving all welfare schemes and living comfortably, people voted against us due to some temporary sentiments. Is that not ingratitude," he asked.
Mani said no such welfare initiatives had taken place in Kerala earlier.
"People are receiving pensions and have enough to eat. Even after getting all this, they voted against us. This is what can be called ingratitude," he said.
Muslim League state president Panakkad Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal said the results were beyond expectations.
"The outcome points towards the Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram, indicating that a change of government is imminent. We are going to win the Assembly election," he said.
