Mother Arrested After Tragic Deaths of Two Young Children in Colorado Springs
In a shocking case out of Colorado Springs, 35-year-old Kimberlee Singler has been charged following the deaths of her nine-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son. The siblings were found lifeless inside their family home, while their 11-year-old sister was discovered injured but alive.
Police Responded to False Burglary Call Before Discovering Tragedy
The tragic events unfolded in the early hours of December 19. Police arrived at the Palomino Ranch Point residence after a 911 call reporting a burglary at 12:29 am. However, the reported break-in was later dismissed as unfounded. At the scene, officers treated both Singler and her injured 11-year-old daughter before rushing them to hospital.
Singler initially cooperated with investigators but was later the subject of an intense manhunt.
Extradition and Murder Charges Follow Arrest in London
The Colorado Springs Police’s violent offender fugitive task force teamed up with the National Crime Agency’s national extradition unit to track down Singler. She was arrested without incident on December 30 in Kensington, West London.
On Monday, Singler appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court facing extradition to the US. She is charged with:
- Two counts of first-degree murder
- One count of attempted murder
- Three counts of child abuse
- One count of assault

Detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s homicide unit are working closely with multiple law enforcement agencies as the investigation continues.”
