The mysterious death of high school cheerleader Anna Kepner on a Carnival cruise ship earlier this month has captured global attention and sparked rampant speculation across social media platforms. Authorities are yet to press any criminal charges related to the death of the 18-year-old, with a final autopsy report from the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner still pending.As public interest escalated following a court document filed recently, it was disclosed that the FBI is investigating Kepner's death, with implications that a minor child may be involved. The filing emerged in a separate case concerning Thomas and Shauntel Hudson, who referred to Kepner's father as her paramour. At the time of her passing, Kepner was aboard the Carnival Horizon with Shauntel Hudson and her children. An FBI spokesperson refrained from commenting on ongoing inquiries, stating that operational updates cannot be divulged. Hudon’s attorney argued against compelling her to testify, citing potential prejudice against her or her adolescent child due to the active criminal investigation. Meanwhile, a memorial service for Kepner is scheduled, calling for attendees to wear vibrant colors to honor her life and spirit. Kepner's obituary highlights her love for the ocean and notes that she was set to graduate next year from Temple Christian School in Titusville, Florida. Following the incident, the Carnival Horizon, which accommodates nearly 4,000 guests, returned to PortMiami on November 8, where it continues to assist the FBI in this sensitive matter.
