Husband of social media influencer Emilie Kiser will not be charged in son's drowning

Brady Kiser will not face charges related to the drowning of his 3-year-old son, Trigg, as prosecutors concluded there was "no reasonable likelihood of conviction. " Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell explained that proving criminal negligence beyond a reasonable doubt was unfeasible. Brady Kiser was home alone with Trigg and their newborn on May 12 when he lost sight of Trigg for a few minutes before finding him in the pool. The incident has attracted widespread attention due to Emilie Kiser's popularity as a social media influencer with millions of followers. Chandler police had previously recommended child abuse charges, but the evidence review, including surveillance footage, did not support this.

Emilie Kiser has been actively working to prevent the release of investigative records, arguing it violates her family's privacy. A judge has temporarily blocked the release of these records until further review. The case highlights the complexities surrounding parental responsibility and child safety in tragic drowning incidents.
