Kimberlee Singler Extradited to Colorado to Face Child Murder Charges

Her return follows a two-year U.K. court battle over human-rights objections to a potential life-without-parole sentence.

Overview

  • District Attorney Michael Allen announced that Singler is in El Paso County custody after her transfer from the United Kingdom on Tuesday.
  • She is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree assault and multiple child-abuse offenses in the deaths of 9-year-old Elianna and 7-year-old Aden.
  • Court records list a $10 million bond while jail booking information shows the bond pending review, and her initial appearance with a bond hearing is expected within days.
  • A coroner reported both children died from gunshot wounds to the head, and investigators noted toxic or potentially toxic doxylamine levels plus scene evidence including spent rounds and a blood-stained knife.
  • Authorities say the case unfolded during a custody dispute after an initial burglary report that was later deemed unfounded, and the surviving daughter later told investigators her mother was responsible.
