Arizona police reveal Emilie Kiser's husband was distracted by an NBA bet when their son drowned. Investigation details, timeline, and charges.
New details have emerged surrounding the heartbreaking drowning of Trigger Kiser, the three-year-old son of influencer Emilie Kiser, in Arizona.
The investigation reveals Brady Kiser, the boy's father, was distracted by a $25 NBA playoff bet. Initially, police recommended a child abuse charge, however, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office declined prosecution, citing a lack of reasonable likelihood of conviction.
The investigation revealed the toddler was in the backyard pool unsupervised for approximately seven minutes before being discovered by his father. Brady Kiser initially told police he only lost sight of Trigger for a few moments. However, surveillance footage contradicted this statement, showing Trigger unsupervised for at least nine minutes and in the water for at least seven. The footage showed he tripped and fell into the pool while playing.
Kiser's phone records confirmed the NBA bet on Jayson Tatum was placed shortly before his wife left the house. The wager ultimately won, netting $102.50.
