But, a week later, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office shared there was "no likelihood of conviction" against Brady.
What has Emilie said about Trigg's passing?
After her tragic loss, Emilie stepped back from social media, choosing to focus on grieving and her youngest son. In June 2026, she opened up in depth for the first time in June during an appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast.
© Emilie Kiser"Losing a child really shows you in the scariest, most real way possible just how quickly life can change, and how quickly life can be literally taken away," Emilie shared. "I always try to remind myself that I have a choice to make. I can either let this completely derail me more than it already has, and not really feel like I'm fit or able to take care of my younger son, or I can do everything in my power to be the best mom I possibly can for him, and give him the same love that Trigg had and has."
