Florida teen’s cruise ship death likely to be discussed at court hearing
The FBI is investigating the death of Anna Kepner, found asphyxiated on a Carnival cruise ship, with her 16-year-old stepbrother identified as a suspect in court documents.
- On Dec. 5, Brevard County family court may hear details about Anna Kepner, a Titusville teen found asphyxiated under the bed aboard the Carnival Horizon on Nov. 7.
- In filings tied to a custody fight, Thomas Hudson, the children's father, called the stepbrother a suspect and asked to remove Shauntel Hudson’s other children, complicating divorce and prompting subpoenas.
- Family members say the stepbrother, a teenage relative, was hospitalized for psychiatric observation after the ship docked and later released; investigators have access to ship records and room key swipes.
- A subpoena dated Nov 25 commands Christopher Kepner, Anna's father, to appear at 9:00 a.m. Friday, with a Florida Department of Children and Families employee and two Temple Christian School affiliates expected to testify.
- Authorities have released few details as the Miami‑Dade Medical Examiner's Office, law enforcement, and FBI remain silent, while local memorials and private ceremonies continue in the Titusville community.
