Did she murder her children and then stage a break-in? Police are investigating
Once at the scene, officers discovered the visibly shaken 35-year-old woman and her 11-year-old daughter. After a thorough exploration of the house, they tragically found the bloody bodies of two other children, a 9-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. Sadly, there was no hope of saving them.
The injured mother and the surviving child were taken to hospital. After recovering, the 35-year-old mother was released from the hospital and moved in with her family. However, not long after that, she vanished, and authorities could not trace her.
The police issued a warrant for Singler's arrest on December 26. She is wanted on charges of murder, attempted murder, and child abuse. - "As the investigation into this matter continues, it has been determined that the initial report of a break-in was unfounded," informed the officers.
It is worth noting that Singler had been embroiled in a custody battle with her ex-husband for over four years. Court records reveal that she filed for divorce in 2018 and, since then, made numerous attempts to restrict her ex-husband's parental rights, all of which proved unsuccessful. The court ordered that the children be placed in their father's care from December 16 to December 31.
