Police in the US are searching for Kimberlee Singler, a 35-year-old woman accused of killing two of her children before disappearing.
Officers in the state of Colorado have issued an arrest warrant for Kimberlee Singler, who is wanted on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, child abuse and assault.
The Colorado Springs Police revealed in a news release that they received a call about a burglary at approximately 12.30am local time on Tuesday, December 19, with the caller alleging that a burglary was taking place in the 5300 block of Palomino Ranch Point, a residential street in the northeast of the city located just over 70 miles (113km) south of Denver.
“Officers arrived on the scene and observed an adult female and an 11-year-old female who had sustained injuries,” the police wrote. “Two other juveniles, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, were found deceased in the residence.”
According to reports Kimberlee Singler and her estranged husband have been involved in a years-long divorce case.
Here is what we know.
Kimberlee Singler custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Wentz and children
Court documents have revealed that Kimberlee Singler was involved in a lengthy custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Wentz, and was just days away from losing the kids.
Kimberlee Singler went back and forth for more than four years with her ex-husband over custody of their three children and time restrictions with their kids.
The couple had filed for divorce in 2018, which was approved in 2020.
A Larimer County Judge had approved a custody plan for Wentz to visit his children at specific dates and times and granted full custody to Singler.
But in September 2018, authorities were called when Wentz allegedly pulled a knife on the accused killer and called her insulting names when he came to pick up his children.
Colorado Springs Police arrived at the scene and spoke with Wentz, who denied all allegations.
Court documents say CSPD found no probable cause to arrest Wentz and left.
Things worsened when Singler failed to drop the kids at CSPD Stetson Hills Substation and never showed up on December 16, 2023.
The next day, Wentz’s attorney asked a Larimer County Judge to grant him possession of his children since the mother violated their child custody agreement, which was granted.
When the Colorado Springs Police called Singler to had over the kids, she informed him that she was ‘nowhere near the police station’.
She later sent an email saying she was in Colorado with all three of the children.
Wentz was then granted full-time custody of the children until a new agreement could be re-visited at their next hearing on January 18, 2024.
But by December 19, two of the three children were dead.
