Stepbrother Accused in Teen’s Cruise Tragedy
Description
A chilling federal court transcript reveals the harrowing timeline of 18-year-old Anna Kepner’s death on a Carnival cruise, with her stepbrother, 16-year-old Timothy Hudson, accused of rape and strangulation. Surveillance and tracking data place Hudson inside her cabin, show him leaving and re-entering multiple times before her younger brother found her missing, and capture him later disposing of an item near where her shattered phone was found. DNA evidence links him to the assault, and while prosecutors sought immediate detention, a judge ordered house arrest — sparking outrage and questions. The younger brother testified Hudson blocked him from entering the cabin despite lights being on, adding to the case. Kepner’s body was discovered under her bed on November 7, and her death is now tied to a jury trial set for September.
