Woman wanted in death of 2 of her kids

Colorado Springs Police said officers found the children after responding to an "unfounded" burglary report.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Police are looking for a woman accused of killing two of her children and injuring a third, according to a release Wednesday from the Colorado Springs Police Department.

In the early morning of Tuesday, Dec. 19, police responded to a 911 call about a burglary in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point, according to the release. 

When officers arrived at the home, they found a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy dead inside, the department said. A woman and another girl, 11, were also there — both of them had "sustained injuries" and were treated at the scene before being taken to a hospital, per the release.

Police identified the woman as the mother of all three children, 35-year-old Kimberlee Singler.

The homicide unit for Colorado Springs Police later assumed the investigation and concluded "the initial report of a burglary was unfounded," the department said. 

On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on the following charges:

  • Four counts of first-degree murder
  • Two counts of attempted first-degree murder
  • Three counts of child abuse
  • One count of first-degree assault

Officers started searching for Singler when the warrant was issued but have not been able to locate her yet, according to the release — she was last seen Saturday, Dec. 23.

The court set a $10,000,000 bond.

A spokesperson for the department said Singler's 11-year-old daughter "is safe and accounted for in the Colorado Springs area and is being cared for."
