Emilie Kiser's Husband Brady Was Alerted to Son's Drowning by Family Dog's ‘Out of the Ordinary' Behavior Around Their Pool
Emilie Kiser's husband Brady Kiser was alerted to their 3-year-old son Trigg's drowning because of their dog
"It was out of the ordinary to see [the dog] standing there looking in the water [of the pool]," Brady told police
The couple's son died back in MayEmilie Kiser's husband Brady Kiser was alerted to their 3-year-old son Trigg's drowning because of their dog.
According to a report from the Chandler Police Department (CPD), which was made public on Friday, Aug. 8, Brady initially told authorities he saw Trigg playing outside for what he believed to be a few minutes, before he found him lying in the pool back in May.
Police officers alleged in the report, however, that Brady's statements did "not match" what was seen on surveillance video they later obtained of the incident, which they said showed the child in 'the backyard unsupervised for more than 9 minutes' and 'in the water for about 7 of those minutes.'
Authorities added that the child was not seen in areas of the backyard that Brady mentioned, or doing the things the father described.
When police asked Brady to come in for a second round of questioning, he allegedly told police he was feeding his 5-month-old baby but was alerted that something might be wrong when he looked outside and saw the family's dog looking in the pool, the report said.
"[I had a] poor feeling as soon as I saw it. It was out of the ordinary to see him standing there looking in the water as he was, so I had stood up, and I immediately went out there," Brady recalled to officers, per the police report.
Brady told police he then found Trigg floating in their backyard pool. Police eventually responded to the scene and performed CPR until firefighters arrived. Trigg was taken to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead days later.
Police alleged in their report, '[Brady] did not accurately describe one thing [Trigg] did after he went outside. 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.'
Chandler Police recommended Brady face a class 4 felony charge of child abuse on July 16.

St. Paul officials say city systems will start coming online "within next week" after cyberattack
St. Paul city leaders say they eradicated the threat and are on the road to recovery after a cyberattack late last month prompted officials to shut down systems to minimize damage. It's why residents still can't use Wi-Fi at public libraries or pay their water bills online. Some city phones connected through internet were also impacted, though 911 emergency services have remained operational. In an interview with WCCO Sunday, Mayor Melvin Carter said the city will start restoring systems soon after 3,500 employees get their devices checked and passwords reset. That is happening over the next three days in what the city is calling "Operation Secure Saint Paul." "This a grand kind of reset and finishing that process will be able to put us in a place where we can start within the next week bringing systems back online safely," Carter explained. Carter said the individuals who launched the attack demanded a ransom, which the city did not pay. That detail had not previously been disclosed since the mayor's office first alerted the public of the attack at the end of last month. IT staff first were alerted to "suspicious activity" on July 25 and soon after, moved systems offline. In the more than two weeks since that happened, the city declared a state of emergency that remains ongoing and Gov. Tim Walz deployed the National Guard's cyber team to help. Had technology officials not taken the actions they did, the situation could have been much worse, the mayor added. "The sort of days where we should expect to build a wall that nobody can ever get through — we're beyond that. The question now is, how do you create systems that can flag and alert you to illicit activity right away? Our system did that," he said. There is still an active investigation into what happened but he and Jaime Wascalus, the chief information officer, expressed confidence that hackers did not remove any data during the breach, including personal information of city employees. "This is a big undertaking. There are a lot of logs to look through, but it has been just exhilarating every single day to hear from my team, 'we have no evidence'," Wascalus told WCCO. "We're already two weeks into here, and usually you would see that evidence of data being removed. So we feel really good about the position that we're in. But again, we want to be cautious because we haven't completed that forensic investigation." The city has not shared the total cost of fending off the cyber attackers and Carter suggested additional security measures — which would require more funding — will be a discussion at City Hall in the next few years. The average cost of a data breach is $4.4 million, according to an IBM report. Wascalus said while the city is shifting to the recovery phase of its operation, not everything will be back to normal right away. "We are going to start with public safety, with payroll, those critical systems that keep us moving forward," she said. "It will take a few weeks to get everything online. And that means we're doing it right. We're doing it slowly, safely and securely."

Pickup truck crashes through home's garage door in Massachusetts
A homeowner in Pembroke, Massachusetts awoke early Sunday to find a pickup truck crashed through his garage door. It happened at a home on Dwelly Street at around 3:30 a.m. Police said the black Dodge pickup truck was lodged into the home's garage door when they arrived on scene. The homeowner said he was inside sleeping at the time when he heard a loud bang, which he first thought was an earthquake. "I ran outside, there was a car through the garage, the occupant was sitting down here crying, saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' He might have fell asleep and by the time he hit a mailbox across the street and maybe that woke him up and he lost control," said the homeowner. The Pembroke Fire Department said the driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. No one in the home was injured. The crash is under investigation by Pembroke Police and it's unclear if the driver will face any charges.
