Mother of missing Everman boy has Tarrant County family court hearing on parental rights​

FOX 4 News has obtained new information about the Tarrant County mother charged with murdering her 6-year-old special needs son. Despite two years of searching, Noel Rodriguez Alvarez’s body has not been found.

The name attached to Cindy Rodriguez Singh’s court cases is Cindy Cecilia Rodriguez.

The 40-year-old mother of seven has been locked up in Tarrant County, facing charges of capital murder in connection with the death of her 6-year-old son, Noel.

On Friday, she appeared in Tarrant County family court for a case related to the termination of her parental rights for her six other children. It’s not clear if those children are in the United States or in India, where Rodriguez was captured in August.

The details of that case have not been made public.

"Certainly, the court might have an interest in making sure that orders are in place requiring anybody with custody of the children to make sure that all their basic needs and necessities are met," said Russell Wilson, a defense attorney and former prosecutor who is not involved in the case.

Wilson said this family court case is not surprising, even if the children’s exact whereabouts are unclear.

In 2023, authorities said Rodriguez and her husband, Arshdeep Singh, left the country with the other children, allegedly to avoid prosecution. Noel was not with them.

The husband’s current status is unknown.

"So the court may be taking action to exercise jurisdiction to say that the Texas court still retains the right to decide the best interest of the children as opposed to courts perhaps in India or wherever they may be," Wilson said.

He pointed out that generally, both biological parents must be notified of efforts to terminate parental rights. But there could be exceptions.

"They have to give sufficient legal notice to all the appropriate parties, and usually that does include the biological father. But in the absence of sufficient notice of all parties, the court can make temporary orders to protect the children and then do orders as necessary," he said.

Mother accused of killing Everman boy Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez appears in court​

Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, the Everman mother accused of killing her 6-year-old developmentally disabled son, appeared in a Tarrant County criminal court Thursday morning for an early pre-trial hearing.


At Thursday’s hearing, prosecutor Ashlea Deener received permission from Judge Julie Lugo to photograph the defendant’s tattoos and obtain a swab for DNA testing. The state intends to display the tattoos to the jury during the trial. Rodriguez-Singh was in the courtroom for less than five minutes.

Authorities haven’t publicly revealed the whereabouts of her husband, Arshdeep Singh, who was charged in U.S. district court with flight to avoid prosecution. It’s also not clear whether Rodriguez-Singh’s other children have been brought back to the U.S.

What happened to Noel is the question that persists. Rodriguez-Singh’s next court date is set for Jan. 15. Attorneys Bob Gill and Eric Nickols have been appointed to represent her.

Psychologist finds mom indicted in Everman boy’s death incompetent to stand trial
A psychiatric evaluation report filed this week concluded that Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, who is under indictment in Tarrant County for capital murder in the killing of her 6-year-old son, is incompetent to stand trial, according to a district clerk record.

If the case takes the course prescribed under the Texas criminal procedure code and if a magistrate or a state district judge finds that Rodriguez-Singh is incompetent, she will likely be ordered admitted to a maximum-security unit at a state hospital for an attempt at competency restoration.

A psychologist examined Rodriguez-Singh on March 26 at the Lon Evans Corrections Center, part of the Tarrant County jail system.

The psychologist, whose precise diagnosis is not clear, appears to have determined either that Rodriguez-Singh does not have sufficient ability to consult with her lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding or that she does not have a rational and factual understanding of the proceedings against her. The report appears to have been filed under seal.

My viewpoint: Often, incompetency rulings are too lenient. I admit the need to refresh this case - do not remember why Noel's family fled the country so soon after he went missing.

He was supposedly last seen in November 2022. (Though he stopped going to scheduled medical appointments in July 2022.)
On November 2, Cindy applied for passports for her entire family, with the exception of Noel.
On March 20, 2023, CPS was contacted for a welfare check on Noel.
Four days later, they fled to India.

Large, heavy tarp loaded into van at missing boy's former home, driven to ME's office​

Investigators looking for buried evidence outside the former home of a boy who vanished more than three years ago loaded a large tarp holding something heavy into a van that was driven to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday afternoon.

The forensic excavation work was being done outside the former home of 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a boy whose mother has been charged with capital murder in connection with his presumed death.

Texas Sky Ranger was overhead when a white van backed up to a tented area where investigators had been digging outside the home where the boy's family once lived. At about 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, several people were seen lifting a large blue tarp into the back of the van, which then drove to the county medical examiner's office.

Officials have not released any details about what was found in the dirt, but Everman Police Chief Al Brooks told NBC 5 Wednesday afternoon that the search appears to have "wrapped up" and that more information will be released on Thursday.

'She will stand trial for this': Tarrant County DA says mother of missing boy will be tried despite incompetency ruling

'She will stand trial for this': Tarrant County DA says mother of missing boy will be tried despite incompetency ruling​

The Tarrant County District Attorney is "confident" that Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, who is accused of murdering her son, will stand trial despite being ruled incompetent.

In a press conference on Thursday, May 14, officials announced they found human remains at a home where Noel Rodriguez-Singh previously lived. The discovery could mark a break in the case, which has been under investigation since Rodriguez-Alvarez went missing in 2022.


She was ruled incompetent to stand trial in April following a psychological examination, court records show. A Tarrant County judge signed off on sending Singh to a state hospital.

Despite this, Tarrant County DA Phil Sorrels said he is "confident" she will stand trial in the murder of Rodriguez-Alvarez. To be considered competent, a defendant must be able to understand the charges against them and be able to contribute to their own defense, Sorrels said.

He referenced her psychological evaluation, which is currently sealed.

"The report further said they believe that in the foreseeable future, she will regain competency," Sorrels said. "So, she will stand trial for this."

“I’m not a psycho person”: Cindy Rodriguez-Singh’s jail letters revealed as investigators await ID in Noel case

As investigators work to identify remains found in Everman, prosecutors outline the next steps in the stalled capital murder case.

“I’m not a psycho person”: Cindy Rodriguez-Singh’s jail letters revealed as investigators await ID in Noel case​

Three years after 6-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez vanished, investigators say a breakthrough may bring them closer to answers in a child disappearance case that gained international attention.

Human remains were discovered this Wednesday afternoon in the backyard of the Everman home where Noel once lived with his family, the Tarrant County District Attorney's office confirmed.

Investigators are still working to officially identify the remains, officials said during a press conference Thursday morning.

“I want to begin by acknowledging the weight of this moment for our community,” Everman Police Chief Al Brooks said during the press conference.

“Human remains were discovered,” Brooks said. “The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office is working toward an official identification.”

The discovery comes as Noel’s mother, Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, remains jailed on a capital murder charge and will undergo competency treatment after being deemed incompetent to stand trial.

Newly obtained letters Rodriguez-Singh wrote from jail to a judge offer a glimpse into her state of mind while in custody.

“Why am I being placed in the state hospital,” one letter reads. “I'm not a psycho person.”

In another, Rodriguez-Singh wrote, “They're treating me very very bad, and I cried for the pain they're making me go through.”

She also wrote, “I get threats every day,” and, “God knows I'm not a bad person.”

Before one court appearance, Rodriguez-Singh wrote, “it might be the last day of jail tomorrow. God will be with me.”


Falk said the next phase of the case will focus heavily on forensic testing and Rodriguez-Singh’s competency treatment.

“The immediate step from the recovery is to send off all of the remains to a whole bunch of specialists,” Falk said. “Further DNA testing and other forensic testing.”

At the same time, she said doctors will continue working to restore Rodriguez-Singh’s competency so the criminal case can move forward.

Rodriguez-Singh is awaiting transfer to a state mental health facility in an effort to regain competency to stand trial. Falk said it's common for people to regain competency.

“Just because someone isn’t competent today doesn’t mean that they’ll be incompetent tomorrow or a week or month from now," Falk said.

Falk said investigators and prosecutors will ultimately want answers not only about how Noel died, but why.

“Absolutely, because that’s gonna be the jury’s first question,” Falk said. “They wanna know what happened. They wanna know why it happened.”

If the remains are officially identified as Noel's, Falk said forensic experts will examine the remains for evidence of injuries that may explain his death.

“Experts can come in and review the bones and say his neck bones were broken, evidence of strangulation,” Falk said. “Alternatively, arm bone was broken. If there was any injury to his skull, that’s evidence of blunt force trauma that could explain what happened, how he was murdered.”

“Ultimately the why the jury’s gonna wanna know for sure,” she said.

Falk also said investigators’ decision to conduct another excavation at the property suggests authorities may have developed new information behind the scenes.

“It’s so out of the blue that they would go back to this home, do another excavation,” Falk said. “That really gives me all the flags for they know something.”

For now, investigators caution that official identification of the remains could take days or even weeks.

 

[Guess Who]

I'm just a bit stumped at how long it took them to search where he lived when he disappeared.
