Teen Suspect's Violent Family History Revealed
20 Nov
Summary
- Documents detail instability and custody disputes.
- 16-year-old suspect allegedly involved in family violence.
- Anna Kepner found dead on cruise ship; investigation ongoing.
Newly obtained court documents from 2024 expose years of instability and violent incidents within the family of the 16-year-old identified as a suspect in the death of 18-year-old cheerleader Anna Kepner. These filings detail custody disputes and a disturbing incident where a child allegedly attempted to jump from a moving vehicle during a confrontation.
Shauntel Hudson, the suspect's mother, denies allegations of neglect, stating that two minors refused to visit their father due to domestic violence concerns. She confirms an open investigation into Anna's death on a cruise ship and that the 16-year-old was placed with a relative for safety amid the ongoing FBI probe.
Legal analysts suggest the FBI investigation could impact the custody battle, which has been ongoing since 2024. Anna Kepner's family is preparing for her funeral services this week, while investigators continue to explore all possibilities surrounding her death aboard the Carnival Horizon.
