The FBI announced Thursday that one of the bureau’s Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives was arrested this week for the alleged murder of her son and is now set to face charges in Texas.

Two years ago, Cindy Rodriguez Singh was charged with capital murder in the death of Noel Alvarez, her young son, according to a notice published by the FBI last year. Officials said that the boy had not been seen alive since October 2022, while officials in Texas in 2023 carried out a welfare check on behalf of the child. Rodriguez Singh then “lied to officers when she explained that the boy was living with his biological father in Mexico,” according to the FBI. She told officers he'd been there since November 2022.
