Arizona Court Approves Redacted Release of Chandler Police Report in Trigg Kiser Drowning Case

The ruling shields sensitive descriptions of the toddler’s final moments after prosecutors declined to charge his father.

Overview

  • The redacted report confirms Trigg Kiser was alone in the backyard for more than nine minutes and submerged in the pool for about seven minutes before being discovered.
  • Security footage contradicted Brady Kiser’s account of how long he lost sight of his son and showed he placed a $25 NBA playoff bet during the critical period.
  • Chandler Police had recommended a class 4 felony child abuse charge against Brady Kiser, but Maricopa County prosecutors declined to file charges on July 25 due to no likelihood of conviction.
  • Emilie Kiser won court approval on August 8 to remove two pages from the public report to protect graphic details and prevent exploitative reenactments.
  • Emilie’s remaining requests to seal personal declarations and block additional records are awaiting final judicial review as the family navigates privacy and transparency issues.
