Description

Newly unsealed FBI records reveal disturbing new details in the death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a Carnival cruise ship, including surveillance footage, alleged suspicious behavior by her stepbrother Timothy Hudson, and evidence suggesting he may have disposed of her damaged cell phone after her death. Investigators say Anna was last seen entering the cabin she shared with Hudson, and they allege he prevented others from entering, repeatedly moved in and out of the room, and acted unusually after her body was discovered hidden beneath a bed. The newly released documents also reveal the presence of an unidentified DNA profile connected to the sexual assault investigation, adding a new layer of mystery as Hudson faces murder and sexual battery charges while remaining out of custody pending trial.

Why the father wasn't with the boys and the mother with the girls is disturbing & disgusting!

Anna was failed by so many adults in her life. I truly hope he gets locked up soon.

he is guilty af. and the family needs to be prosecuted for interfering with the investigation. he is 16, he knew exactly what he was doing, even after the fact and the evidence is overwhelming. he should be locked up, a young woman has been murdered and he isn't even under house arrest. what a joke.

If he had the "mental clarity and stamina" to do what he did, he has the same mental stamina and clarity to handle and deal with being locked up in jail right now. What a joke he is giving all the freedoms of living outside when it is pretty damn clear he is a danger to society

She was alive when she went in her room. Then he came in. He killed her. Doesn’t matter if she was with someone else previously.
