As Texas police continue investigating the disappearance of a 6-year-old boy, newly released images show his mother and stepfather at an airport days after they were questioned about the missing child, Fox 4 reports.
The images, released publicly this week, depict Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, her husband, Arshdeep Singh, and their other children moving through a security checkpoint at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in late March.
The family reportedly boarded an international flight, with reports varying about their destination.
Rodriguez-Singh’s son Noel has been missing since at least November 2022, which was the last time relatives say they had seen the boy. Authorities presume he is dead.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, the mother is said to “idolize” a Mexican cult deity known as “Santa Muerta,” or “Saint Death,” who is said to be the personification of death.
Child welfare officials performed a wellness check in March at the family’s home in Everman, Texas, a southern suburb of Fort Worth. Rodriguez-Singh allegedly claimed that Noel on was with the boy’s biological father in Mexico, but he told authorities that he has never met his son, WOAI-TV reports.
Meanwhile, local police have also disclosed a video that shows investigators searching the family’s home in April. Cadaver dogs can be seen alerting on a concrete patio that had been poured around the time Noel vanished. Police dug up the concrete slab but no remains were found.

“We know his remains are somewhere, we just don’t know where. And the other facts we don’t know is we don’t know why he died and that’s what our investigators have been working to determine,” said Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer told Fox 4.
“Was this a case of neglect? Was this a case of accidental death? Is this a case of murder? We don’t know the answer to any of that. That’s what our investigators have been working to uncover.”
Multiple investigators are working on the case full-time, including investigators from other agencies.
Federal authorities are reportedly working on a plan to extradite Rodriguez-Singh and her husband to the United States to face charges of felony abandoning or endangering a child.
