The nine-year-old and seven-year-old were discovered deceased in their Colorado home on December 19, 2023, shortly after which Singler reportedly left the country. The judge's ruling transfers the matter to the home secretary, who will determine if Singler should be returned to the US. These events unfolded amid contentious custody disputes with her ex-husband, Kevin Wentz.

Details disclosed during the court hearing painted a grim picture of the scene where the children were found; a call to authorities led officers to the residence where two bodies lay alongside a blood-stained handgun. DNA evidence linked the weapon to both the deceased children and Singler herself. Meanwhile, a third child was found injured but survived. Singler has claimed her husband was responsible for the incident, but investigators found he had a solid alibi at the time of the attack.

The case continues to develop as authorities navigate the legal ramifications of a potential cross-border extradition.
