Teen who died on Carnival cruise was found under bed, stepbrother under investigation: Source
FBI probes death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard Carnival Horizon; court filings reveal a minor stepsibling may face charges amid ongoing investigation.
- On Nov. 7, Anna Kepner, 18-year-old Temple Christian School senior, was found dead aboard the PortMiami-based Carnival Horizon at about 11:17 a.m., and the ship returned to PortMiami on Nov. 8 where authorities removed her body.
- The emergency filing in Brevard County family court states Hudson was told by FBI investigators that `a criminal case may be initiated`; Hudson's attorneys filed the Nov. 17 motion seeking to delay a custody hearing.

- No charges have been filed publicly and the Miami‑Dade medical examiner has not released a final autopsy report, while a 16-year-old stepsibling may be a focus of the investigation.
- With a celebration of life set for Nov. 20, authorities say they are cooperating and the FBI Miami field office-led probe remains active.
