In a chilling turn of events, the blood discovered on a weapon used in the tragic deaths of two young children in Colorado has been identified as belonging to their mother, Kimberlee Singler. This revelation comes as Singler faces extradition after a desperate attempt to evade justice by fleeing to the United Kingdom.

The initial breakthrough in the case came from an affidavit obtained by KKTV 11, revealing that Colorado Springs investigators quickly established a crucial link to Singler. Just days following the December 2023 murders, forensic evidence confirmed that the blood found on the firearm used in the killings matched Singler’s own, casting a grim shadow over the unfolding investigation.

While initial reports indicated that one of the children had suffered a throat slash, subsequent autopsy results confirmed the horrifying reality: both siblings had been fatally shot. The bodies of Elianna Wentz, aged six, and her seven-year-old brother, Aden Wentz, were discovered in their home, prompting an international manhunt for their mother.

On December 30, 2023, authorities apprehended Singler in London, just over a week after the grisly discovery. As detailed by CrimeOnline, the arrest marked a significant step in ensuring justice for the victims, Elianna and Aden, whose lives were tragically cut short.

Adding to the complexity of the case, Singler and her 11-year-old daughter had also sustained injuries. Singler claimed they had fallen victim to a home invasion, yet investigators found no evidence of forced entry, further deepening the suspicions surrounding her account of events.

Singler blamed her ex-husband, but investigators believed early on that she had caused the injuries. The ex-husband had been driving a GPS-tracked truck at the time, which provided him with an alibi.

The ex told investigators that he had suspicions about Singler, and although he could not recall her threatening the children, she had told him that he wouldn’t see them again. Singler’s statement reportedly happened during an ongoing custody dispute during the 2023 summer.

Further, the 11-year-old, who initially lied about the incident at her mother’s request, reportedly identified Singler as her attacker. The victim then said, “she had been feeling awful about the lie,” according to Law&Crime.

Singler claimed she had been sleeping on her couch when the attacks occurred, and that she woke up to a male grabbing. She claimed she then fainted and woke up to find the children dead.

She told investigators she had been too weak to call 911 for assistance, but eventually called for assistance when she found her phone, after it “randomly started playing music.”

Autopsies confirmed that the children also had toxic levels of sleeping aids in the system, according to the affidavit.

Shortly after the attacks, Singler fled the country. She fought extradition, arguing that sending her back would subject her to a potential life sentence in violation of the European Convention of Human Rights.

A British judge disagreed and, in November, ordered Singler to return to the U.S.

Singler is charged with murder, attempted murder, assault, and child abuse. She remains behind bars without bond.
