TikToker Emilie Kiser Says She'll "Forever Second Guess" Not Being Home During Son Trigg's Death

Emilie Kiser filed a lawsuit after more than 100 public record requests sought details of her son's May 18 accidental drowning, aiming to protect her family's privacy amid grief.

  • On Aug. 20, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Whitten ordered Emilie Kiser's court declaration unsealed, revealing she wrote, `I was not home when this happened` and `I will forever second guess that decision, among many others`.
  • Kiser filed suit on May 27 to block record releases after over 100 public record requests were made, and a judge granted temporary confidentiality on June 3.
  • On May 12, Trigg Kiser, three-year-old, was pulled unconscious from the family pool in Chandler, Arizona, after being unsupervised for more than 9 minutes and in the water for about 7 minutes.
  • Chandler Police Department recommended a Class 4 felony child abuse charge on July 15, but Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell declined prosecution on July 25; a partially redacted police report was released on Aug. 7.
  • Kiser, an influencer with over 4.1 million TikTok followers, said media and strangers at her home heightened exposure, and she avoids police report, security camera footage and autopsy records to protect her privacy.
