Colorado Springs woman charged with killing two children, wounding third

Police had been seeking Kimberlee Singler, whose 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 after responding to what turned out to be a false report of a burglary at their home. The 35-year-old Singler initially cooperated but then went missing as the unfounded report came to light. By the time police got an arrest warrant last Tuesday, she was gone, Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin said. She was last seen on Saturday in Colorado Springs. In the initial stages of the investigation, we were, Cronin said. Responding to the call at an apartment complex at about 12:30 a.m. Dec. 19, cops found the children’s bodies, along with Singler and her 11-year-old daughter, who were both injured. Singler’s injuries were minor, while the daughter was hospitalized for a few days. Police did not release details on the injuries or the children’s manner of death. The FBI was brought in to assist once Singler disappeared. No details were released on how her arrest overseas unfolded. Singler was embroiled in a legal battle with her ex-husband related to parenting time and other issues, concerns that were scheduled to be heard in court next month. The mom now stands charged with of first-degree felony murder, attempted first-degree murder, three counts of felony child abuse and one count of first-degree assault, with bond set at $10 million.
