Overview

  • Chandler Police submitted a Class 4 felony child abuse referral on July 15 after completing their investigation into Trigg Kiser’s death.
  • The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will review the police recommendation before deciding if Brady Kiser faces formal charges.
  • Under Arizona law a Class 4 child abuse felony carries up to three years in prison and is rarely pursued against grieving parents in drowning cases.
  • Investigators found that three-year-old Trigg was out of sight for three to five minutes before being discovered floating in the family pool on May 12.
  • Emilie Kiser has filed a lawsuit to seal investigative and medical records, securing temporary confidentiality while the court weighs privacy and transparency.
