Judge Unseals Emilie Kiser’s Court Declaration in Son Trigg’s Drowning Case

The unsealed filing shows Kiser sought to block release of graphic evidence to protect her family’s privacy.

Emilie Kiser says she will forever second guess one crucial decision.
On May 27, Emilie Kiser had filed a suit against the Maricopa County public offices to keep records with details of her child's demise private.

Overview

  • Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Whitten ordered Kiser’s May declaration unsealed on Aug. 20 following the earlier release of a redacted police report.
  • In the document, Kiser describes her son’s death as the worst moment of her life and states she was not at home when the drowning occurred.
  • Her filing asks the court to withhold photos and video, citing fears of exploitation online and long-term harm to her younger son, Theodore.
  • The police report says surveillance shows Trigg outside alone for about 10 minutes and in the pool roughly seven minutes after tripping on an inflatable chair.
  • Chandler police recommended a Class 4 felony child-abuse charge for Brady Kiser in July, but county prosecutors declined to file, citing no likelihood of conviction.
