Emilie Kiser Granted Request to Seal “Graphic” Details of 3-Year-Old Son Trigg Kiser’s Death

CHANDLER, ARIZONA, AUG 8 – Emilie Kiser won a court order to redact two pages of a police report on her son's accidental drowning that led to a felony child abuse charge recommendation against her husband.

  • The Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County ruled on Aug. 8 in Emilie Kiser’s favor to redact two pages from the Chandler Police Department report, including details about her son Trigg Kiser’s drowning.
  • On July 15, Emilie Kiser filed to block public access because investigators recommended a Class 4 felony charge and received over 100 record requests, court records show.
  • Judge Christopher Whitten wrote that `The transcript on the disputed sections are not necessary for public accountability` in an Aug. 8 brief.
  • The Arizona Republic’s attorney Michael Kelley contended the redaction would omit 'information and context that is critical to provide the public a reasonably full understanding of the investigation,' affecting transparency.
  • Emilie’s legal team argued over 100 public record requests could fuel `disturbing` AI reenactments, causing a `profound invasion of privacy` for Kiser’s family.
