Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband could face child abuse charges as son, 3, dies
The youngster, three, was given CPR on scene before paramedics arrived. He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition and was later flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital due to the injuries.
However, Trigg sadly died just six days later, it was announced. Earlier this week, Chandler Police announced that they had completed a thorough review into the death of young Trigg. The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the force said: "The Chandler Police Department has completed its investigation into the tragic drowning of three-year-old Trigg Kiser, who died May 18, 2025, after being found unresponsive in his family's backyard pool. Following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser.
"(ARS 13-3623) The case has now been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review." A Class 4 child abuse felony is an offence committed with criminal negligence and can be committed intentionally or knowingly, according to Arizona law. He could face up to three years behind bars if he's convicted.
Since the tragic incident, Emilie, who boasts 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 4.1 million on TikTok, has filed a lawsuit demanding that records about her son not be disclosed. She said she is "going through a parent's worst nightmare right now," following the "heartbreaking accidental drowning" of Trigg.
The lawsuit adds: "Emilie is trying her best to be there for her surviving son…but every day is a battle." It goes on to say: "Emilie and her family desperately want to grieve in private, but sadly, the public will not let them. Trigg's death has become a media frenzy."
Following the death of young Trigg, over 100 public records requests have been filed with the city of Chandler and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office.
However, the lawsuit does acknowledge Arizona's Public Records Law, which gives the public the right to view records which are kept by public officers, adding: "This right of access is not absolute."
Lawyers for the Kisers go on to say that Arizona law also "recognises that family members have a compelling privacy interest in preventing the disclosure of graphic materials related to a loved one's injuries or death."
Brady told police that he had been distracted by their son, who was born in March, when Trigg had gone outside to play. He went on to add that he lost sight of their eldest child for a few minutes, and when he stepped outside to check on him, he found Trigg unconscious in the pool.
The Mirror has approached Emilie's spokesperson for comment.

Lowe brands Farage a ‘stinking hypocrite' over crime policies
Reform UK has dominated headlines this morning, as the party kick off their six-week campaign on crime. During a central London presser this morning, Nigel Farage told journalists that his party will halve crime in Britain if it gets into government – insisting that all foreign criminals will be deported and serial offenders would have life sentences imposed. Strong stuff, eh? But one right-winger in particular remains pretty unimpressed with the party's latest law and order policies. Rupert Lowe, formerly of the Reform parish before he was ousted earlier this year, has taken aim at Farage on Twitter – attacking his ex-party leader for their use of the police force over his suspension. After Farage tweeted that 'Reform UK will require the police to investigate all crimes', he received a rather fiery response from his former colleague, who fumed: The Reform leadership tried to put me in prison on false allegations, all because I bruised your ego. Wasting an incredible amount of police/CPS time, even leading to my family home being raided by armed police late on a Friday night. You're a stinking hypocrite, Farage. Crikey. There's no love lost there, eh? It's not the first time Lowe has publicly denounced his onetime boss, branding Farage a 'coward and a viper' in a statement released after the CPS announced it was not going to press charges against Lowe in relation to an allegation of threats towards the party's then-chairman Zia Yusuf. And Lowe isn't the only person Yusuf has found himself at odds with lately. Rael Braverman, the husband of former Tory home secretary Suella, quit the party last week after Yusuf attacked his wife over the Ministry of Defence leak scandal. It's been a rocky month for Reform after the parliamentary party found itself back down to just four MPs when James McMurdock lost the whip over allegation of Covid fraud. Farage's group will have been hoping today's swathe of announcements will have got them back on track – but, as ever, Lowe seems committed to taking the shine off…

Tragic life of Dog the Bounty Hunter as star plagued by horror deaths, sinister abuse claims & grisly murder conviction
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH his steely pursuit of criminals and bulging muscles, Dog the Bounty Hunter is the image of an American tough guy. But the TV star - real name Duane Chapman - has had more than his fair share of tragedy, including horrific abuse at the hands of his father, the deaths of two of his children, his grandson, and the love of his life. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 14 Dog has been dogged by tragedies and controversies throughout his life Credit: John Chapple, The Sun 14 Dog's 13-year-old step-grandson Anthony, centre, has been shot and killed by his father Gregory Zecca, pictured right alongside mum Francie Credit: Instagram 14 Dog the Bounty Hunter is married to Francie Credit: Instagram/Dog the Bounty Hunter 14 Gregory Zecca is from Francie's previous marriage Credit: Instagram On Saturday, Dog, 78, was rocked by fresh heartache as his stepson shot and killed his own son, in what is believed to have been a tragic accident, TMZ claimed. Gregory Zecca, son of Dog's wife, Francie, accidentally shot Anthony, 13, at their apartment in Naples, Florida. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony." Zecca reportedly works with Dog and Dog's daughter Lyssa on his bounty hunting team. In 2021, the 38-year-old, who was also a gun enthusiast, shared photos of him and his son with a rifle "getting some range time in." But the unimaginable accident is one of many tragedies and controversies that have peppered the life of the star. Dog was one of four children raised by his church minister mum and US Army officer dad in Denver, Colorado. But he suffered regular beatings with a wooden paddle from his dad, who also battered him in boxing matches to 'toughen' him up. In his 2007 book, You Can Run But You Can't Hide, he wrote: "Because of my religious upbringing, I thought my dad was punishing me for being a terrible sinner. "Until very recently, I never understood that none of his abuse was my fault. Just thinking of the abuse I endured can make me cry. Eerie link between Rachel Morin murder and second victim as Dog the Bounty Hunter joins search for suspect in Ring video 14 A young Dog, left, with friends in 1969 Credit: Getty 'I was expected to take it like a man. But I wasn't a man. I was a young boy looking for love and approval from my father. I was desperate for his affection, so I ignored the pain,' he wrote. At 13, he dropped out of school and joined a motorbike gang, the Disciples, spending the next few years in and out of jail for offences including armed robbery. 'I spent the first twenty-three years of my life on the wrong side of the law,' he later wrote. "The only thing I knew about the law was a thousand ways to break it." As a teenager, he fathered a child with Debbie White, who kept her pregnancy from him and later took her own life. Their son, Christopher, was adopted and only met his father after Debbie's mum told him he had a grown son. At 19, Dog married first wife LaFonda Honeycutt and the couple had two sons Duane Lee and Leland. Conviction for murder 14 In 1976, Dog was convicted of murder and was sentenced to five years in prison Credit: Getty Dog has tracked down 6,000 criminals in his job as a bondsman - someone who tracks down wanted criminals for a fee. But in 1976, it was him that ended up behind bars, convicted of murder. The 23-year-old was in a car when his friend accidentally shot an alleged drug dealer in a fight over a cannabis deal. Under Texas law, anyone indirectly involved in a murder can also be charged. Dog was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to five years in Texas State Penitentiary and a year later, LaFonda divorced him and married his best friend. As a result of his conviction, he is banned from owning a firearm and instead uses a taser for his bounty hunting. In 2012, he was barred from entering the UK, where he was due to appear as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother, because of his criminal record. While serving time in jail, Dog was commended for tackling a prisoner who was trying to break out. The incident persuaded him to consider a career as a bounty hunter or ''bondsman'. He began working independently, interviewing witnesses to track down the police's most wanted criminals, then claiming rewards on handing them in. Daughter's rape allegation and Beth affair 14 Dog began an affair with Beth after meeting her at a police station 14 Dog's daughter Lyssa said she accused him of rape so she could escape his rows with Beth Credit: Instagram Soon after he started his new career, he met Anne Tegnell and had three more children. One died shortly after birth and the other two – Wesley and JR - were raised by their mother. The marriage was short-lived and in 1982, Dog wed Lyssa Britain and had three more children - Barbara, Tucker and Lyssa. The youngest, 'Baby Lyssa', later wrote a book claiming her dad was a drug addict and her mum an alcoholic. While still married, Dog met Beth - a blonde bombshell with a 38F chest -at a local police station where she'd been arrested for shoplifting, and the pair began an affair. The relationship with Beth was stormy from the start, and Lyssa - who was living with her dad - claims she hated their rows so much she took desperate steps to leave, by making up a horrendous allegation. 'I [falsely] accused my father of raping me when I was 11,' Lyssa admits. 'It was a horrible life that I never wanted to go back to, living with him and Beth and the fighting and the drugs. 'When I got to my mother's, although she drank, it was much more peaceful. I was willing to do anything to not go back.' Marriage on the rebound After their romance faltered, in 1991, Dog was devastated when Beth married his childhood best friend, Keith Barmore, and had a daughter Cecily. "He was a thief with a heroin habit," Dog wrote later. "It just about broke my heart when I heard Beth was dating him. 'When I heard they got married, I got physically sick.…Friends told me he was abusing her something awful." Dog wed Tawny Marie in 1992 – but says he was 'coerced' into marrying her despite knowing she was a 'mistake.' But Beth later admitted the pair continued seeing each other, despite their new marriages. Beth and Dog finally divorced their partners and got back together in 1995 and she began working with him - becoming the youngest licensed bondsman in Colorado at 29. To cement the bond the couple had two more children, Bonnie and Garry, and Dog adopted Cecily as his own. Daughter's death 14 Dog's daughter Barbara died the day before his wedding to Beth in a car accident Credit: Instagram 14 Dog went ahead with the wedding and broke the news to friends and family at the reception Credit: Getty Dog and Beth settled in Hawaii and got engaged. Then, in 2004, he landed his own TV show, Dog The Bounty Hunter. But the couple were to suffer fresh tragedy. Beth's beloved dad and "best friend" Garry Smith died two months before he was due to walk her down the aisle in 2006, leaving her heartbroken. And, the night before their dream Hawaiian wedding, Dog received the horrific news that daughter Barbara, 23, had been killed in a car accident while in a stolen SUV in Alaska. Incredibly, he went ahead with the wedding as planned, breaking the terrible news to his friends and family at the reception. After Barbara's death, her son went to live with his biological father, Travis Mimms. But, in October 2011, Dog and Beth stepped in and took temporary custody after hearing a recording of Travis allegedly physically abusing the nine-year-old. Perhaps remembering his own childhood, Dog said: 'To hear the audiotape of my grandson being abused was torture.' Beth's tragic death 14 Beth suffered from throat cancer before her death 14 Dog shared this picture of Beth a day before she died Credit: Twitter Dog's string of horrific luck continued in September 2017 when Beth was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer. On their A&E special, Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives, they told viewers that she no longer had the disease after the cancer had been removed. But in 2018, the disease returned. Dog frequently took to social media to update fans about his wife's treatment and said she was battling to get back to good health. In an interview with the Star Advertiser, Beth said: "I'm a fighter, I'm a strong fighter – big-time survivor – and I'm gonna fight this as vigorously as it's fighting me." In April 2019, Dog revealed that she had been admitted to the hospital and asked for prayers for her two months later on June 23. But on June 26, Beth tragically passed away at a hospital in after being put in an induced coma while at The Queen's Medical Centre in Honolulu. In an emotional tweet, Dog wrote: "It's 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain. Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. "We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side." Love again 14 Francie and Dog vowed to honour their former spouses who passed away within months of each other Credit: John Chapple, The Sun In 2021, two years after Beth died, Dog found love again and tied the knot for the sixth time with Francie Frane, who had also lost her husband Bod to cancer just six months before Beth. A day before their wedding, the couple told ET that they had written their own vows which would honour their deceased spouses. Francie, 53, who is a rancher, said: "We have been doing that all along. We have done that privately, and in our vows, we will be honouring them. We honour them all of the time. "And so we will continue to do that throughout their lives. Throughout our life together, we will continue to do that. They will be a part of that always." They wed in front of family and friends in a Tuscan-style estate with incredible views. Close friend and co-star 14 His close friend and co-star David Robinson died in 2022 In 2022, Dog experienced another loss. His co-star and close friend David Robinson died suddenly at the age of 50. David, described by wife Brooke as being 'very healthy', collapsed at home while on a zoom call on Wednesday, although no official cause of death has been announced. In a statement to TMZ, Dog said he was 'shocked and saddened by the sudden loss'.
