Ongoing Investigation into Florida Teen's Homicide on Carnival Cruise

Court subpoenas have surfaced in the ongoing investigation into the alleged homicide of Anna Kepner, a Florida teen who died aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship. Anna was found deceased under the bed in her stateroom on November 7, and federal authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.

The subpoenas, filed by Anna's stepmother, Shauntel Hudson-Kepner, during a custody dispute with her ex-husband, Thomas Hudson, have prompted discussions about the family's dynamics and the safety of the children involved.

Thomas Hudson's attorney stated that Anna's mother took the children on the cruise against his wishes, raising concerns about activities that could occur in international waters. The hearing addressed a parenting plan for the children and allegations concerning their safety, but did not focus on Anna's death or the investigation.

The 16-year-old stepbrother of Anna is currently under FBI investigation, with no specific details released regarding the nature of the inquiry. This tragic incident has sparked broader concerns about safety protocols on cruise ships, particularly for young passengers.
