COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A woman who was wanted on murder charges in connection with the deaths of two of her children in Colorado Springs has been taken into custody, police said Sunday.
The Colorado Springs Police Department said Kimberlee Singler, 35, was taken into custody Saturday in the United Kingdom. No other details about the arrest were immediately available.
Singler was wanted in connection with the deaths of two of her children. Their father, Kevin Wentz, identified the victims as 7-year-old Aden Wentz and 9-year-old Elianna “Ellie” Wentz.
Police said around 12:30 a.m. Dec. 19, they were called to a home on Palomino Ranch Point to investigate a report of a burglary. When officers arrived, they found the two children dead inside the home. They also found a woman, later identified as Singler, and an 11-year-old girl who had been injured. They were both taken to the hospital.
Singler is the mother of all three children, police said.
Police said officers determined the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
On Dec. 26, police issued a warrant for Singler’s arrest 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
A police spokesperson said Singler’s 11-year-old daughter “is safe and accounted for in the Colorado Springs area and is being cared for.”
