According to a press release issued by the Colorado Springs Police Department, Singler who was last seen on Saturday, December 23 has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and child abuse.

What led to the murder of Kimberlee Singler's children?

Following a 911 call reporting burglary report, authorities responded to the scene at 12.29 am on December 19. After authorities arrived on the scene, police found Singler's two children "deceased in the residence."

Singler and her 11-year-old daughter had sustained injuries, as per CSPD. The nature of their injuries have not been specified.

Authorities confirmed to the outlet that Singler's 11-year-old child is currently "recovering well and is safe and accounted for here in the Colorado Springs area." 

The Colorado Springs Police Department Homicide Unit has "assumed the investigation" after they responded to the call, as per the release. Law enforcement stated that further investigation into the case helped them determine that the "initial report of a burglary was unfounded."

Speaking to The New York Times, Ira Cronin, a spokesman for the Police Department said they had "reason to believe" Singler is no longer in Colorado. The outlet also reported that FBI is "assisting in the search."

The press release stated that the courts have set a bond amount of $10 million with the remaining "details of the arrest warrant are currently sealed under court order."
