Family speaks out after stepbrother emerges as suspect in death of Florida teen on cruise
"The grandparents of a high school senior found dead on a cruise ship earlier in November say they fear they had lost two grandchildren after her stepbrother has emerged as a suspect in the case. No matter what we find out, no matter what they tell us, it's not going to bring either one of these children back, Barbara Kepner, the grandmother of the late 18-year-old cheerleader Anna Kepner told ABC News on Monday."
"Anna Kepner, from Titusville, Florida, was found dead under a bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered by life vests on the Carnival Horizon on 8 November, according to national media reports that have been widely followed. Investigators later told ABC News that Kepner died by asphyxiation resulting from a bar hold an arm across the neck and pointed to bruises on the side of her neck."
Anna Kepner, 18, was found dead under a bed on the Carnival Horizon on November 8, wrapped in a blanket and covered by life vests. Investigators indicated asphyxiation resulting from a bar hold, noting bruises on the side of her neck. The Miami-Dade medical examiner has not confirmed cause or manner of death. An initial report indicated no signs of sexual assault and reportedly no drugs or alcohol, though autopsy and toxicology reports are pending. Authorities identified a 16-year-old stepbrother as a suspect. The stepmother requested a delay in a custody hearing because a minor may face criminal charges. Grandparents said they feared they had lost two grandchildren.
