Colorado mom suspected of killing 2 of her kids is extradited from the U.K.

Kimberlee Singler, a Colorado mom suspected of killing two of her children during a custody dispute, has been returned from Britain to the United States to face charges, authorities said Tuesday.

DENVER — A Colorado woman suspected of killing two of her young children during a custody dispute with her ex-husband two years ago has been returned from Britain to the United States to face charges, authorities said Tuesday.

Colorado Springs-based District Attorney Michael Allen announced the extradition of Kimberlee Singler, 37, on charges including two counts of first-degree murder ahead of her first court appearance in the coming days.

Singler was arrested in December 2023 in London just over a week after her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead in their home in Colorado Springs. Her 11-year-old daughter was injured but survived. The girl eventually told an investigator that her mother said God made her do it, according to court documents in the United Kingdom.

Singler, who had superficial knife wounds, told police that a man who entered the apartment was responsible. She was initially considered a victim.

The surviving daughter backed up Singler's claim at first, but police sought to arrest Singler on Dec. 26, 2023, after they said the girl changed her story. By then Singler was gone. She was found four days later in London's upscale Chelsea neighborhood and arrested. It is not known why she ended up there.
