“There’s no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.”

These are statements made by Anna Kepner’s grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation.

Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna’s grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother.

The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna’s murder.

They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna’s biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna’s murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other’s hands.

Anna’s father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect.

This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder.

November 8, 2025, a small SUV drives up to the Carnival cruise ship docked at Port Miami. The thick letters on the side of the car read:

MIAMI DADE COUNTY
MEDICAL EXAMINER

FBI agents are seen bringing what appears to be a cadaver stretcher off the ship.

Just 24 hours before docking, in a cabin where three step-siblings were rooming together, a crew member finds a dead body.

An 18 year old girl named Anna Kepner, hidden underneath a mattress amongst blankets and life jackets.

The youngest sibling is seemingly ruled out and the most likely person of interest appears to be her 16 year old step brother...Whom Anna’s father and stepmother seem to be defensively ‘protective’ of.

This is the ongoing case of Anna Kepner’s murder.

Is it possible to completely forget something you experienced?

Well, it depends on who you ask. Pick a side and welcome to the memory wars.

One side believes it is possible. There are documented cases of victims of traumatic events who forget for years until one day when they begin to remember.

The other side believes that this is not a real thing. You cannot just forget a memory and then suddenly remember it.

The stakes are high for the memory wars. And the stakes are even higher for the False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

FMSF is on the side that denies repressed memories. For decades, FMSF has denied victims of all ages who have remembered experiences of CSA and torture, including Mary Knight. This is her story.
