Influencer Emilie Kiser's husband was placing a sports bet just before son tragically drowned in his care
Brady Kiser, 28, told police he was inside his Chandler, Arizona, home with his newborn son on May 12 while his wife was out with friends.
He was watching Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics at the time.
Phone records show Kiser placed a $25 wager on sports betting platform DraftKings at 5:14pm, around 75 minutes before his son was spotted outside on home surveillance cameras.
The bet was on Celtics star Jayson Tatum scoring over 40 points. Tatum ultimately racked up 42 in a 121–113 loss to the Knicks, which would mean Kiser earned $102.50 payout.
During this time, Little Trigg Kiser was left unsupervised in the backyard for more than nine minutes, according to a Chandler police report, and spent about seven of those minutes submerged in the pool.
'Brady's statements do not match what is seen on the video; he did not accurately describe one thing [Trigg] did after he went outside,' police said in the report.

'This leads to the conclusion that Brady was not aware of what [Trigg] was doing and was not watching him. The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome.'
Brady is not facing criminal charges. Emilie was out of the house during the tragedy.
His wife Emilie has won her legal battle to keep some of the most horrific details about her young son's death shielded from the public.
Emilie fought to get two pages of a police report detailing how her son Trigg, three, drowned in her family's pool redacted - and a judge agreed with her last Friday.
The Maricopa County Superior Court, siding with Kiser, has ruled the 'transcript on the disputed sections are not necessary for public accountability.'
This is because the contents would only 'satisfy morbid curiosity' and 'would risk exploitation by bad actors,' the ruling, seen by Daily Mail, said.
The influencer convinced the judge that allowing the harrowing play-by-play of how her son Trigg got into the family's pool and eventually drowned would entice social media sleuths to create AI recreations that would go viral online.
Similar to how other eerie video recreations of recent deaths, including the Idaho college quadruple murders, have circulated on TikTok, Kiser said she was worried people would try and sensationalize her family's tragedy too.
The unredacted police report included a moment-by-moment written depiction of officer bodycam footage that captured Trigg's death - which the court said was so thorough that it 'functions as a surrogate for the video itself.'

Don Jr says his family got into crypto after banks refused to do business after Jan 6 ‘nonsense'
Donald Trump Jr. says his family 'didn't have a choice' but to get into crypto because banks didn't want to do business with them after January 6, 2021, referring to the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol as 'all the nonsense.' 'We got into crypto because we didn't have a choice,' the president's eldest son said on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning while discussing his family's cryptocurrency business's $1.5 billion digital coin deal. The Trump family's crypto business, World Liberty Finance, announced Monday that technology firm ALT5 Sigma would make a big purchase of its digital coin, $WLFI. ALT5 said it would sell $1.5 billion worth of shares, then use that money to purchase the Trump signature digital coin, which the family founded last year. 'Every major banking institution, the people that, two weeks before we were debanked, we could've called and gotten a loan in five seconds. They disappeared. We were left high and dry,' he said. 'Basically, during the first term, certainly after the…let's call it January 6… all the nonsense, it got significantly worse,' he said, referring to the deadly mob of his father's supporters who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Five people, including one police officer, died and several more were injured when the pro-Trump mob breached the Capitol building. The president granted roughly 1,500 people convicted of January 6-related crimes pardons immediately after taking office in January. 'We weren't even early crypto guys, but we figured, if they can debank the Trump Organization, if they can debank us, who can't they go after? And more importantly, who won't they go after?' he continued. Trump Jr. said that instead of going home and 'go cry in a corner,' they decided to launch World Liberty Financial, which he described as the future of banking. 'What we're doing with World Liberty Financial, I think, is going to shake up the entire banking system. It is literally the future of finance,' he said. Joining Trump Jr. on the segment was his brother, Eric Trump, and World Liberty Financial's co-founder and CEO Zach Witkoff, who said they were looking to 'democratize' the financial system. 'Put power back in the hands of the people, instead of the big boogy man behind the curtain,' Witkoff said. Following the Fox appearance, the three men went to ring Nasdaq's opening bell to celebrate the closing of ALT5's $1.5 billion offering.

Animal lover nursed orphaned baby deer back to health...then Louisiana wildlife officials turned up and EUTHANIZED it
A Louisiana woman lovingly nursed a baby deer back to health before state officials removed the animal from her property and 'cruelly' euthanized it. Kimberly Graham, 63, of Greenburg, near Baton Rouge, rescued an injured fawn her granddaughter named BabyBelle after receiving an urgent call on July 27, she revealed in a Facebook post. She gave the small white-tailed animal fluids and bottle-fed it after it had been wandering around injured for two days. Four days into her caring for the fawn, the Louisiana Department Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) showed up after receiving a tip from someone who reportedly spotted the deer wearing a 'hunter's orange collar' around its neck. They stated that Graham was running an illegal deer rehabilitation center at her home, according to the report, which was viewed by WBRZ. After packing the baby deer up in a cat carrier, officials allegedly euthanized BabyBelle just 20 minutes later. 'He just outright said: "The deer was euthanized 20 minutes after leaving your house,"' she told the outlet. 'They allowed me to glove my hands, feed her a bottle and potty her before putting her in a cat kennel to take her off.' Graham had been hopeful the fawn would survive and be released back into the wild, as BabyBelle had made significant strides in just the four days in her care. 'In a moment of crisis, I did what I was trained to do and save a helpless, tiny life. I fought hard for her, administering drugs I use on my horses. My fight wasn't enough and she was destroyed by gunfire,' she claimed on Facebook. She called the incident 'incredibly cruel.' LDWF denied shooting the animal, but did not publicly release its method of euthanasia for BabyBelle. The LDWF report did say the animal was euthanized because she had spent too much time in captivity away from her mother and would be unable to survive on her own. State Representative Lauren Ventrella, who is also an attorney, is now representing Graham and they are hoping to reach an amicable resolution. They are calling for an oversight hearing to help change the process at a legislative level. 'You have to look at the humanity of the situation of what is right and what is just,' Ventrella said. 'We know what the law says, but we have to utilize some common sense and what is best for the people.' LDWF, however, said: 'Spotted fawns are especially vulnerable, so they are afforded heightened protection from private possession under the law. 'When we find illegally possessed captive wildlife, we make every effort to return them safely and humanely to their natural habitat. 'As part of that mission, LDWF enforces laws set by the legislature to keep wildlife wild and protected in its native habitat.'

Giancarlo Stanton vies to fuel Yankees to sweep of Twins
August 13 - The New York Yankees are spending the past few days praising the willingness of Giancarlo Stanton to play right field until Aaron Judge is able to return to the mix. The Yankees also are enjoying Stanton's hot streak at the plate. The slugger is coming off his first four-hit performance in nearly two years heading into Wednesday when New York attempts to finish off a three-game sweep of the visiting Minnesota Twins. The Yankees are 4-2 in their past six contests following a five-game losing streak. In Tuesday's 9-1 rout, Stanton went 4-for-5 for his first four-hit game since Aug. 24, 2023. The Yankees collected 11 hits and 11 walks to get on the verge of their first series sweep since beating the Seattle Mariners July 8-10 during their five-game winning streak. "I feel good," Stanton said. "Putting together good at-bats, the timing's there." Stanton homered, doubled and had two singles, including a two-run base hit. He ended his third game in right field while Judge fully recovers from an elbow injury with a .300 average and is 8-for-13 in his past four contests. "It's been impressive," Judge said of Stanton, who homered in consecutive games for the third time this season and has eight homers in his past 18 contests. "Besides the homers and clutch hits, he's using the whole field. Ever since he's come back he's been dialed in." The Twins are on a nine-game losing streak to the Yankees and 5-28 in the regular season in New York over their past 33 visits. After winning four of their previous five games heading into the series, the Twins have mustered four hits in the series. On Tuesday, Austin Martin hit a leadoff single and the Twins only scored when Royce Lewis avoided a double play. After loading the bases in the first inning, Minnesota had one baserunner the rest of the way. Minnesota also issued a season-worst 11 walks after permitting two and getting 12 strikeouts in Monday's 6-2 loss. "I'd say our strike throwing wasn't too good today and it has to be significantly better," Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli said. "That's no secret." Right-hander Joe Ryan (11-5, 2.79 ERA), who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 17 starts, will get the nod on Wednesday for the Twins. He last pitched Thursday at home against Kansas City and allowed one run on four hits in five innings of a 9-4 win. Ryan is 5-2 with a 2.55 ERA in 11 road starts this season. He is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA in four career starts against the Yankees. Fellow right-hander Cam Schlittler (1-2, 4.38) makes his sixth career start and first versus Minnesota. He has not allowed more than three runs each time out. Schlittler last pitched Friday when he took a no-decision after allowing two runs on seven hits in five innings of a 5-3, 10-inning loss to the Houston Astros. --Field Level Media
