Heartbroken Father Seeks Justice for Daughter’s Mysterious Death on Cruise Ship
Christopher Kepner, the father of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, is determined to see justice served if it is revealed that his stepson had a hand in his daughter’s tragic death on a Carnival cruise ship. While he did not explicitly state his stepson’s involvement, he emphasized that he wants him to face consequences if found guilty.
On the Carnival Horizon ship, Anna was discovered deceased under her cabin bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered by life vests, during a family trip that included her father, stepmother, siblings, stepsiblings, and grandparents.
Although the FBI has not provided updates on the investigation, court documents from an unrelated case suggest that Anna’s 16-year-old stepbrother, who shared a cabin with her, is a potential suspect in the case.
Christopher recalled his last moments with Anna during a family dinner on the ship before her tragic demise. Her body was found by a housekeeper the next day. The death was later ruled a homicide, with evidence pointing to mechanical asphyxiation by another person.
Reports from Anna’s younger brother indicated that there was commotion in the room where Anna and her stepbrother were alone, further fueling suspicions surrounding the case. Allegations of inappropriate behavior and obsession from Anna’s ex-boyfriend’s family have added layers of complexity to the investigation.
Despite the heartbreaking circumstances, Christopher remains steadfast in his quest for justice for Anna, a young woman with aspirations of serving in the US Navy and becoming a K9 police officer.
