Overview

  • The Aug. 9 release of the redacted Chandler Police Department report indicates Trigg was alone in the backyard for over nine minutes and spent about seven of those minutes in the pool before being found.
  • Surveillance footage contradicted father Brady Kiser’s claim that he lost sight of his son for only three to five minutes, highlighting significant timeline discrepancies.
  • Investigators noted that Brady was distracted by an NBA playoff game and had placed a $25 bet on the outcome more than an hour before the incident.
  • Although Chandler police recommended a class 4 felony child abuse charge for criminal negligence, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office concluded there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction.
  • Emilie Kiser successfully petitioned the Arizona Superior Court to redact two pages of graphic detail from the report to safeguard her family’s privacy and prevent potential misuse.
