Good morning, everyone. You know, the Anna Kepner case, it's now more than a month ago

0:09.2

that this 18-year-old girl lost her life on a family trip on a carnival ship horizon.

0:19.0

And so many things are known about this case. And we, those watching it and

0:24.4

those reporting on it, are wondering why the FBI has yet to make an arrest on this case.

0:32.8

It is absolutely baffling. And it's not like there's any secrets that are coming out now, that

0:39.1

there's a secret of who did this. I think the FBI fully knows who the suspect is. And we've

0:47.0

seen this family picture that's on the screen right now numerous times. And allegedly,

0:53.1

the 16-year-old brother will just know him as a stepbrother with the initials

0:58.6

TH is responsible for strangling Anna using an arm bar.

And that is the biggest question I have. And it's really baffling to me,

2:06.6

and I think baffling to everyone that is following this case. So as the custody hearings began in

2:14.4

early December, this is where we found out all of the details about this case,

2:19.5

custody hearings in a family court case, not from the FBI who has investigated this case

2:27.1

from the beginning. And remember, this occurred on November 7, 2025. And there's a good possibility that Anna was killed on the 6th the night before

2:41.1

and her body not discovered until the 7th. So that is a distinct possibility. So it's over a month now, and yet they are no closer, apparently, to making an arrest than they were on the seventh.
