"The body of the woman, Anna Kepner, 18, of Brevard County, was discovered on the Carnival Horizon on Nov. 8. Because her death occurred in international waters after the ship departed an American port, the FBI responded to the crime scene. The Horizon had left Miami on Nov. 2 for a six-day cruise around the Caribbean. According to a legal filing by Kepner's stepmother, Shauntel Hudson, on Monday, Kepner had been vacationing with her father, stepmother and two stepsiblings,"
"Her stepbrother, identified in the documents as "T.H.," "is a suspect" in the death, "which occurred recently on a cruise ship," Hudson asserted in her filing. The filing was part of a custody dispute between Hudson and her ex-husband, Thomas Hudson, who were granted a divorce in 2023. Emails to both Shauntel Hudson and Thomas Hudson requesting comment went unanswered Wednesday."
"The 16-year-old is staying with a relative of Shauntel Hudson, the documents said. The child's parents have hired a lawyer for him, and the 9-year-old is in counseling, Hudson said in her filing. In a statement, Carnival Cruise Line said it was fully cooperating with the FBI and that the ship had returned to port in Miami as planned on Nov. 8."
