Overview
- The declaration, filed in late May and temporarily sealed by a June 3 order, is now public as more than 100 public-records requests were lodged at the time of her petition.
- In the filing, Kiser urges the court to seal video, photos, and written descriptions of the drowning, citing ongoing grief, fear of exploitation, and harm to relatives.
- She writes that she was not home when the incident occurred and says she will forever second-guess that decision as her husband cared for their newborn and lost sight of Trigg.
- Her statement describes helicopters over the home, media at the door, unknown visitors, cars filming outside, and unsolicited packages after news spread within hours.
- A redacted police report states Trigg was alone outside for more than nine minutes with about seven minutes in the pool; police sought a felony charge for the father, which prosecutors declined for lack of a likely conviction.
