Why Did the FBI Get Involved in a Cruise Ship Death? The Anna Kepner Case

Why Did the FBI Get Involved in a Cruise Ship Death? The Anna Kepner Case

An 18-year-old high-school senior, Anna Kepner, boarded the Carnival Horizon in early November 2025 for what was supposed to be a weeklong Caribbean getaway. Within days, she was found dead onboard. The ship returned to Port Miami, and waiting at the pier were agents from the FBI.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the facts only — no speculation, no rumors. What do we actually know about what happened aboard the Carnival Horizon? Why does the FBI take the lead when a death occurs on the open sea? And how common are fatalities aboard cruise ships that carry millions of passengers every year?

Tony unpacks the confirmed timeline: when Anna was found, when the ship returned, and how federal jurisdiction under Title 18 U.S. Code § 7 gives the FBI authority over deaths that happen in U.S. maritime territory. We also look at the bigger picture — how cruise lines handle onboard deaths, what the statistics show, and why so few details ever reach the public.

This is not about gossip — it’s about transparency, procedure, and accountability when tragedy strikes far from shore.
A promising life ended in silence. The investigation continues. And we ask the question every parent and passenger deserves answered: How does someone die at sea — and why don’t we hear the truth sooner?

Stay tuned for updates as the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner and FBI release their findings.

FBI Profiler on Kirk's Assassin, Hoffman's Depravity & Walshe's Google History This is the complete, must-see episode of Hidden Killers, providing in-depth analysis of three of the most disturbing cases making headlines. The show opens with an exclusive interview with retired FBI behavioral analysis chief Robin Dreeke, who delivers a masterclass on the psychology of the lone wolf assassin who targeted Charlie Kirk. Dreeke dissects the root causes of modern radicalization, from the societal death of curiosity to the isolating echo chambers of social media that breed extremism. The broadcast then transitions to the shocking case of Jordan and Harley Hoffman, a picture-perfect Florida couple whose curated online life hid an alleged world of unspeakable depravity involving child SA material and horrific acts with animals. The team explores the dark side of social media and the psychology behind such a jarring public-private disconnect. Finally, the show meticulously breaks down the murder of Ana Walshe by her narcissistic husband, Brian Walshe. We uncover his long history of fraud and manipulation and reveal the damning digital footprint that became his undoing. You'll hear the complete, chilling list of his Google searches on how to dismember and dispose of a body, creating an undeniable timeline of a cold-blooded crime. From expert FBI profiling to the grim realities of modern crime, this episode is a comprehensive and compelling look at the darkness that hides in plain sight.

BIG BREAKDOWN - Why Did Bryan Kohberger Do It?

BIG BREAKDOWN - Why Did Bryan Kohberger Do It?

BIG BREAKDOWN - Why Did Bryan Kohberger Do It? In one of the most haunting true crime cases of our time, the question still hangs heavy: Why did Bryan Kohberger do it? In this Big Breakdown, Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team explore the possible motives, psychological profiles, and investigative revelations surrounding the Idaho student murders. Drawing from court filings, expert commentary, and newly surfaced details, we examine the theories about Kohberger’s state of mind. Was it obsession? A need for control? A violent compulsion? Or some combination of all of the above? While the evidence against him points to planning and methodical behavior, the bigger question is why — what inner drive could push someone from thought to action in such a brutal way? This breakdown doesn’t speculate wildly — it digs into what’s documented and what experts say about criminal psychology, Kohberger’s academic writings, and his online behavior. By connecting the dots between his past struggles, his studies in criminology, and his alleged actions, we ask the question that matters most: what led Bryan Kohberger from theory to practice, from fascination to murder?

"He Thought He’d Get Away With It”: The Complete Story of Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer

"He Thought He’d Get Away With It”: The Complete Story of Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer

He Thought He’d Get Away With It”: The Complete Story of Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer In this full episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the full story of Tyler Robinson — the 22-year-old accused of assassinating political commentator Charlie Kirk in what may be one of the most bizarre, fast-moving political killings in modern history. Over the course of 40 gripping minutes, Tony and Jennifer unravel the evidence: the mysterious letter hidden under a keyboard, the casually damning text messages to a romantic partner, and the disturbingly sloppy trail left by someone who thought he was too smart to get caught. It’s a forensic dissection, a behavioral analysis, and a psychological autopsy rolled into one. But this story goes beyond crime scene science. It’s about the rise of “short-fuse actors” — individuals who go from resentment to murder in a matter of days, with no prior record, no group affiliation, and no discernible warning signs. Coffindaffer lays out how the FBI interprets this new breed of lone wolves and what this means for public figures, law enforcement, and political discourse in the U.S. You’ll hear chilling details about the weapon, the texts, the failed attempts at a clean getaway — and the quiet moment where a family realized their son had just killed someone in cold blood. If you watch one piece to understand the case — and the terrifying new reality of political violence — this is it. 🔖 Hashtags: #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #HiddenKillers #FBIInvestigation #PoliticalMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #JenniferCoffindaffer #LoneWolfKiller #Radicalization #AssassinationCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
