Cindy Rodriguez-Singh Incompetent for Noel's Murder Trial

0:00It's April 4th. This is Dallas News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. A news psych report just dropped on Cindy Rodriguez Singh. The mom indicted for Capitol murder and the death of her six-year-old son, Noel. Rodriguez Alvarez. She's been ruled incompetent to stand trial right now, based on an exam back on March 26 at Taren County Jail. Noel's been missing since fall of 2022, presumed dead by cops, but no bodies turned up. If a judge agrees she's incompetent, Texas law points to her heading to a max security state hospital for treatment to try restoring her fitness for court. The report sealed, but it boils down to her not grasping the charges or communicating rationally with her lawyer. This hits hard knowing Noel's background. He had severe disabilities like limited speech, bad vision, and a limp. Cops say his mom was abusive, starving him, denying water over diaper changes, even hitting him with keys and calling him a demon.

1:00Searches keep coming up empty. A cadaver dog hit on soil near their ever-man shed once, but lost to send deeper down. They sent a rug scrap to the FBI lab, yet still no remains after all this time. Prosecutors in Taren County are pushing ahead with what they got. Proof of his absence, but without that body, it's a tough road as she ever gets. Compotent. The case hangs in limbo for now.
