Anna Kepner’s Stepbrother Claims He “Can’t Remember” the Night She Was Killed | FBI Silent 8 Weeks Later
He was in the room. He was off his medication. And now he says he doesn’t remember anything. Newly released court documents reveal that the 16-year-old stepbrother suspected in Anna Kepner’s death has reportedly told his parents he has no memory of the night she was strangled aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship. Text messages entered into evidence show his mother writing to her ex-husband: “He just keeps repeating over and over he can’t remember anything.” The teen had been prescribed medication for insomnia — medication his mother testified he hadn’t taken for two consecutive nights on the cruise, including the night before Anna’s body was found hidden under a bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered with life vests. Anna Kepner, 18, was a cheerleader from Titusville, Florida, who dreamed of joining the Navy. Her death has been ruled a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation. Eight weeks later, the FBI has made no arrest and released no public statement. The stepbrother was sent to a psychiatric facility immediately after the ship docked and is now living with relatives while undergoing evaluation. In this breakdown, we examine the memory loss claims, the troubling text messages between his parents focused on keeping things quiet, allegations that Anna was scared of her stepbrother before the cruise, and what the FBI may be waiting for. When a teenage girl is found dead and the only suspect says he can’t remember — what happens next?
