Summary
In November 2025, 18-year-old Anna Kepner boarded a family cruise expecting sunshine, memories, and a relaxing vacation at sea. Instead, the trip ended in horror when Anna was found dead inside the room she shared with her stepbrother and younger half-brother while the ship sailed through international waters.
