Hi, guys. Welcome to a new episode of Legally Brunette. I will be your host, Emily Simpson, with

Shane. Okay, before we get into the Eva LaRue story, we're just going to do some updates

on the Anna Kepner situation, which we talked about on the previous podcast. When we first brought

up this case, obviously there's not a lot of information out there. This is the 18-year-old cheerleader that was found dead recently on the Carnival Cruise called Horizon. Her body was found stuffed underneath the bed in her cabin. Covered in Life Fest. Yes, covered in Life Fest. And she was wrapped in a sheet. Now there's some more information that has come out. So we're going to update you guys on that. So Anna Kepner had an ex-boyfriend who has come out and told reporters that after Anna's memorials, this was after her memorial service, he said that there was one time when he was on a FaceTime with her. I remember him saying it was like 3 o'clock in the morning, and she was lying down and her stepbrother tried to jump on top of her or sit on top of her or something like that. And he actually saw this on the FaceTime. Like horse playing? You know, I don't know. He didn't give like a context. I just think that he found it. That doesn't seem like normal behavior. Yeah. I think he just found it just really inappropriate and strange. He said he reported the encounter to Anna's parents and said she had complained about being uncomfortable around her stepbrother before.

But the parents didn't believe his claims.

Obviously, if he's going to the dad and the mom, the mom or the stepmom is the biological mom of the stepbrother and then Anna has a dad.

Sure.

It's father, daughter, and mother's son.

Right.

Getting married, yes.

The ex-boyfriend went on to describe Anna as his first love and said he would have been

on the cruise with the Kepner family earlier this month if they hadn't broken up.

He claims that she was scared of him and the ex-boyfriend's

father, Stephen Weston, told Inside Edition separately it was because he always carried around a big

knife. Now, I think this kid, what I've read, this hasn't been confirmed by the FBI because

they haven't really released any information, but from what I have read multiple times,

the stepbrother is 16 years old. So if this is true, if he's carrying around a big knife,

I don't know if as a parent, that would be something that I would be okay with. Like that was his regular daily routine? I don't know. I mean, animal carries snacks around in her pocket, but I mean,

I would be concerned if I had a child that was a young teenager that was carrying around real

weapons. Yeah. Investigators have preliminarily ruled that the teen died as a result of asphyxiation

from a bar hold. And I guess a bar hold is when someone holds your arm across

your neck. Or it could be an object. Or an object. Yeah, as opposed to strangulation, I think,
