    LONDON ( KXRM ) — The extradition hearing for Kimberlee Singler , the mother accused of killing her two children, 7-year-old Aden Wentz and 9-year-old Eliana “Ellie” Wentz in Colorado Springs in December 2023, began on Tuesday in London and is scheduled to conclude on Friday, according to FBI Denver.

    A warrant was issued for Singler on multiple counts of murder, child abuse and attempted murder, leading to her arrest in the United Kingdom on Dec. 30.

    Police, DA: Singler’s extradition could take ‘considerable amount of time’

    On Dec. 18, the Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a call about a burglary, and once officers arrived on the scene at a Stetson Hills condo, they found the bodies of the two children, as well as an injured 11-year-old and Singler.

    Singler was sent to the hospital with minor injuries but disappeared shortly after.

    When the original burglary call was discovered to be false, Singler was identified as a suspect, and CSPD began searching for her. Later, she was discovered and arrested in the UK.

    Is she of Brit nationality? If not, why hasn’t she already been deported to the U.S.? Why is taking Britain so long to adjudicate?
