Welcome to MK True Crime. I'm Dave Aaronberg, former state attorney for Palm Beach County

and managing partner at Dave Aaronberg Law and also the Florida lawman. That's trademarked.

Here's what's on the docket today. An emergency custody hearing involving the family of Anna Kepner, the team found dead

last month on a cruise, has revealed new disturbing details in the case.

The pretrial hearings in Luigi Mangione state case have unearthed never foreseen evidence

and will bring you the latest.

And five people have been charged in connection with the drug overdose death of actor Matthew Perry.

Are they culpable?

We'll discuss.

I'm joined by my co-host for today, fellow MK. True Crime contributor, Ashley Merchant, aka the A.T.

Ashley and Aaronberg, she's a criminal defense lawyer from Atlanta, Georgia, and a superstar here on our channel.

Ashley, just the two of us, who needs Arthur Idala, the other member of the aid team?

Let's kick things off with the updates in the Anna Kepner case. Just a reminder, Anna Kepner was the 18-year-old girl found dead from mechanical asphyxiation

while on a cruise with her family last month.

Her death has been ruled a homicide, but no one has been charged with her murder yet.

Her 16-year-old stepbrother who shared a cabin with Anna on the cruise seems to be the only suspect in the case right now.

We got some more insight in the family dynamics at play here from an emergency custody hearing between Anna's stepmother, Chantelle Hudson, and her ex-husband.

And you've got families that, you know, maybe been married more than once and have different names. And so I sort of made a chart so I could figure out who's who, because this custody hearing was interesting. We got a lot of insights. So Chantelle Hudson Kepner, that's Anna's stepmom. So she was actually on the cruise, the cruise when

Anna died, her husband, this is her ex-husband, Thomas Hudson. Okay, so that's her ex-husband. That's

where the Hudson names come, comes in. They have a child together, a nine-year-old. This nine-year-old

girl is also the one that is the subject of this custody hearing. Okay? So Anna's dad is the current husband of Chantelle. All right. So that's how they're related to Anna. She's the suspect's mom, the boy, the 16-year-old boy that we believe is a suspect, but hasn't been charged. Thomas wants custody of their nine-year-old. All right. So that's why we're in court on this emergency custody. Thomas wants custody. Essentially, Anna is saying that it's fine. I mean, I'm sorry, not Anna. The mom, Chantelle, mom is saying it's fine. They should, this nine-year-old should be able to live with me. Everything's fine. The kids were all super close. We actually have a SOT,
