Emilie Kiser Breaks Silence on Son Trigg’s Drowning, Cites Accountability and Need for Pool Fence

She frames the loss as a pool-safety lesson, signaling stricter privacy.

Overview

  • In an Aug. 28 Instagram and TikTok post, Kiser said she takes full accountability and wrote that a permanent pool fence could have saved her 3-year-old son’s life.
  • A Chandler police report says surveillance video showed Trigg alone outside for more than nine minutes and in the water for about seven after tripping on an inflatable chair.
  • Prosecutors declined to charge father Brady Kiser after police recommended a Class 4 felony child-abuse count, citing no reasonable likelihood of conviction.
  • Kiser previously filed suit to limit release of investigative records and graphic materials; her personal declaration was later unsealed describing the toll of potential disclosure.
  • At the time of the incident, Emilie Kiser was out with friends and Brady was home with the newborn; the report notes he was watching an NBA game and placed a $25 bet shortly before the drowning.
