Police have issued warrants for the arrest of Rodriguez Singh on a misdemeanor charge of making a false report and a probation offence.

The FBI, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the Alliance for Children, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are all involved in the investigation.
