A harrowing case has unfolded in Colorado Springs, as 35-year-old Kimberlee Singler appeared in court in connection with the deaths of her nine-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son. The heartbreaking incident occurred in a residential property in Colorado Springs, where the lifeless bodies of the two young children were discovered, while an 11-year-old daughter was found injured but alive.
The tragic events transpired on December 19 when the Colorado Springs Police responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at the family’s home, located in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point, at 12:29 am. However, the reported burglary was later deemed unfounded. At the scene, Singler and her injured 11-year-old daughter were treated before being transported to the hospital.
Initially, Singler cooperated with the ongoing investigation into the incident. However, her sudden disappearance on December 23 prompted authorities to issue a warrant for her arrest on December 26. She now faces charges of murder in connection with the deaths of her two younger children.
The Colorado Springs Police Department’s violent offender fugitive task force worked in collaboration with the National Crime Agency’s national extradition unit to locate and apprehend Singler. After a thorough search, Singler was arrested in Kensington, West London, on December 30.
On Monday, she appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where she faced extradition proceedings to the United States. Singler has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, three counts of child abuse, and one count of assault.
A spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department issued a statement, saying, “Kimberlee Singler was taken into custody in the United Kingdom without incident. Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit continue to work closely with multiple law enforcement agencies in pursuing the ongoing investigation.
As this heart-wrenching case continues to unfold, the community is left in shock and mourning for the loss of two innocent young lives.
