Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband could face felony child abuse charge in drowning death of son
The Chandler Police Department said in a Tuesday post on X that it had completed its investigation into Trigg's May 18 death and "following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady Kiser."
The case has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review.
Police and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
Trigg died six days after he was found unconscious in a backyard pool. NBC affiliate KPNX of Phoenix reported that the drowning occurred at Kiser's home, and Trigg was hospitalized in critical condition until his death.
Brady Kiser told police that he was distracted by the couple's infant son when Trigg went outside to play, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by KPNX. He said he lost sight of Trigg for a few minutes and then went outside to check on him, and that's when he found the boy unconscious in the pool.
Brady Kiser, who said his wife was out with friends at the time, called 911.
Emilie Kiser, who has built millions of followers across TikTok and Instagram with mom and wife content, has not publicly commented on the death of her son. In May, she filed a lawsuit against multiple Maricopa County public offices to keep records of her son's death private. A judge temporarily blocked the release of records last month.

Gang lures barber to London with honey trap to steal £500,000 in crypto
A gang lured a Belgian barber to London with a honey trap and threatened him with a machete, mistakenly thinking he had £500,000 in cryptocurrency. Quentin Cepeljac, who is known for cutting professional footballers' hair, was held captive at an Airbnb in west London for nine hours, while they attempted to exhort the money. When they realised he didn't have much in his crypto accounts, they forced him to give them £2,000 out of his current account and hand over £300 cash. Those involved in the failed robbery, Adlan Haji, 28, Alexander Khalil, 30, and Omar Sharif, 24 and Belgian Davina Raaymakers, 20, pleaded guilty to blackmail on Friday and face custodial sentences. Raaymakers, 20, identified Mr Cepeljac as a 'useful target' on TikTok, and spent a number of months messaging him, before asking him to stay with her in London for the weekend. Nicholas Dunham, KC, prosecuting, said Mr Cepeljac turned up at an Airbnb in Shepherd's Bush believing it was Raaymakers's family home. Instead he was met by Haji, Khalil and Sharif, who punched and kicked him,demanding the £500,000 from his cryptocurrency account, Isleworth Crown Court heard. Mr Cepeljac was put in an en-suite bathroom where Haji held a 'large machete' to his throat. 'Weapons were brandished during the incident,' said Mr Dunham. 'Mr Haji held a knife to his throat, while the other two defendants held a large knife to his leg, and told Mr Cepeljac they were going to stab him. 'Mr Cepeljac was later pushed onto the floor, where Mr Haji held a machete to his throat again. 'Mr Khalil told Mr Haji to stab the Mr Cepeljac if he left the bathroom in the en suite bathroom. '£500,000 in crypto currency was initially demanded. Clearly the assailants knew Mr Cepeljac had a lot of crypto currency. 'Mr Cepeljac was in a vulnerable situation because he was in the UK and did not know anyone. 'He was effectively detained for nine hours. 'All the valuable property he had was stolen in the incident, and his Cartier glasses and his Louis Vuitton wallet was taken.' After making him transfer the £2,000 they demanded he call a friend in Belgium to get more money but the friend reported the call to Belgian police, who alerted officers in the UK. When Mr Cepeljac was of no more use to the gang, they sent him in a taxi back to St Pancras to take a Eurostar home. Police spotted him in the departure lounge and he revealed to officers what happened, before leading them to the now deserted flat where he had been held. Raaymakers later called Mr Capeljac 'discouraging him from talking to police or contacting the Belgium authorities.' Mr Cepeljac was told by the defendants that they knew where he lived, and that people would turn up to his house if he spoke to the police, said Mr Dunham. Through CCTV footage, phone data and tracing who had booked the Airbnb, officers tracked down the culprits three months later, on August 15 last year. In his impact statement, that was read to the court, Mr Cepeljac said: 'The incident was very traumatic. At the time I just wanted to get home back to Belgium. It was only after I got home when I realised what had happened. 'I was intimidated with large knifes, and I was kicked and shoved. I only had bruises on my body, but it impacted me mentally. 'In December 2024, I was recommended by my doctor to seek psychiatric help. I have had flashbacks.' Mr Cepeljac said he struggles with sleeping, especially when he remembers being 'in that room with knives and what they did to me'. He added: 'I am more anxious and stressed then I was before. I struggled initially to trust people, and I now have trust issues, especially after receiving the messages from people pretending to be the police after the incident. 'The men who threatened me said they knew where I lived back in Belgium. I am now very nervous when i answer the front door. My parents are also weary… They have been supportive, but are also shaken by what happened. 'I am very nervous when coming off the Eurostar in London. I have considered never coming back to London.' He said he has had to cancel many of his hairdressing appointments, which has hurt his income and damaged his business. He added: 'I was extremely worried about travelling to London and seeing these people in court. 'Not only did I not want to see them, I also feared that there could be repercussions if I stood against them in court. More Trending 'I don't want to put myself or my parents in any further danger.' Khalil, from Watford, Sharif, of Brent, Haji, of Ilford, and Raaymakers, of North Acton, denied charges of kidnap and false imprisonment, which were ordered to lie on file. The judge, Recorder Nicola Shannon remanded the defendants in custody ahead of sentence on September 5. She told them: 'This is clearly going to be a custodial sentence of some length.'

Father arrested in New York in death of 9-year-old daughter he had reported missing
LATHAM, N.Y. — A Canadian man who reported his 9-year-old daughter missing in New York has been arrested after she was found dead, authorities said Monday. Luciano Frattolin, the father of Melina Frattolin, was charged with second-degree murder and concealing of a corpse, New York State Police spokesman Robert McConnell said. State Police said Luciano Frattolin reported the girl missing and possibly abducted on Saturday, leading officials to issue an Amber Alert to enlist the public's help in finding her. But authorities said over the weekend that there were inconsistencies in the father's account, and that they concluded there was no evidence of an abduction. Authorities found the girl's body on Sunday north of Lake George village, near state border with Vermont. Frattolin, 45, did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent via LinkedIn, Instagram and his company website over the weekend. He described himself as a 'loving father' on his Instagram profile, and on the website of a coffee company said to be founded by him, a post says that his daughter Melina is 'the light of his life.'
