An initial burglary call earlier this month in southern Colorado led investigators to discover the bodies of two dead children. Their 35-year-old mother is the suspect for their killings, but she is now on the run. 

An arrest warrant was been issued for mother Kimberlee Singler, of Colorado Springs, in the deaths of her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, the Colorado Springs Police Department confirmed on Thursday. She remains a fugitive in these two murder investigations, as well as for the alleged attempted murder of her oldest child, an 11-year-old girl.

Singler originally called police to her home in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point on Dec. 19, where police found her and her 11-year-old daughter with injuries. That's according to the CSPD, which stated that first responders then discovered the bodies of her two youngest children in the home, located in northeast Colorado Springs. Singer and the 11-year-old were both treated on scene, and there was no update for the status of the 11-year-old.

Investigators eventually determined the claims of a burglary to be unfounded, and an arrest warrant was issued for Singler on Dec. 26; however, Singler had not been found by CSPD as of Thursday, and she was last seen on Dec. 23. 

Singler faces charges for the following: 

  • 2 counts - 18-3-102(1)(a), Murder in the First Degree, Class One Felony (F1)
  • 2 counts - 18-3-102(1)(f), Murder in the First Degree, Class One Felony (F1)
  • 1 count - 18-2-101, Criminal Attempt - Murder in the First Degree (18-3-102(1)(a)),Class Two Felony (F2)

  • 1 count - 18-3-202, Assault in the First Degree, Class Three Felony (F3)

Bond was already set by the court at $10 million, but the details of Singler's arrest warrant remained sealed by the court at the time of the press release. 

There was no information provided in the release regarding another parent or legal guardian of the children.
