Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories.

I'm your host, retired NYPD, Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

You know, I continue to be bothered by this case, of course, And that's the case of Anna Kepner,

whose body was found on the Carnival Horizon ship on November 7th.

And all of the allegations we hear,

all of the information we're hearing relative to the FBI's investigation on this case.

Unclear as to actually when and if they, the FBI hasn't officially named the 16-year-old

stepbrother as a suspect. However, it came out in other legal documents in regards to this case.

On the evening of November 6th, 2025, the last time most of Anna's family saw her alive.

She reportedly told them she wasn't feeling well and went back to her cabin for the night.

When she didn't show up for breakfast the next morning, a frantic search began.

The search ended in the worst imaginable way.

On November 7th, the housekeeper discovered Anna's body.

She was found wrapped in a blanket hidden under the bed in her state room, with

light vest piled on top of her. The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner later listed her death,

excuse me, the time of death as 1117 AM on November 7th, which sources believe is likely around the time she was discovered.

As the ship sailed back to Port Miami, passengers on Deck 8 where Anna's cabin was got a notice

asking them to leave their rooms early so authorities could start their work.

The message warned it could be noisy and disruptive.

When the Carnival Horizon docked on Saturday, November 8th, FBI agents were waiting.

Federal law gives the FBI jurisdiction over suspicious deaths in international waters, and their

presence confirmed this was being treated as a potential crime.
