Episode Details

A federal judge has ordered 16-year-old Timothy Hudson into custody after he was accused of murdering his stepsister Anna Kepner on a Carnival cruise ship in November 2025. The teen, who had been under strict supervision, faces first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse charges after her body was found in their cabin with signs of mechanical asphyxia. Prosecutors argue he’s a flight risk and danger to the public, while the defense claims he followed all conditions. The judge sided with prosecutors, and Hudson was taken into custody as the case heads toward trial. The FBI continues its investigation, and a related divorce hearing has been postponed. Hudson has pleaded not guilty.
