Summary
Family members are anxiously waiting for answers in the murder of 18 year old Anna kepner aboard a Carnival Cruise Ship earlier this month. Authorities haven’t officially named a suspect yet, but we’re now hearing from Kepner’s aunt, her grandparents and her own father about their suspicions. While none of them have directly accused Kepner’s 16 year old step brother of murder, they have all questioned his involvement. Kepner’s aunt said her niece fought for her life and the family is in turmoil waiting for an arrest. Kepner’s father has said he doesn’t “stand behind what my stepson has done” as he talked about his family’s first thanksgiving without her.
