The Cruise Ship Murder Of Anna Kepner

An eighteen-year-old girl goes on a family cruise vacation and never comes home. Anna Kepner's body was found concealed beneath a bed in her stateroom aboard the Carnival Horizon — and the person accused of killing her was sleeping in the same cabin.

This is the case that stopped the true crime world cold. Not because it happened at sea, though that's part of it. Because of who allegedly did it, how it allegedly happened, and the federal prosecution that followed — one so rare it has legal experts across the country watching every single motion filed.

Anna Kepner's accused killer is her own teenage stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, now facing federal charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse as an adult. He has pleaded not guilty. A trial is set in Miami federal court. And the questions surrounding this case — about the family dynamics, the investigation aboard the ship, the decision to prosecute a minor in adult federal court, and whether justice will be served for Anna — are far from answered.

This podcast is your home for all of it. Deep investigative reporting. Exclusive interviews with legal analysts, behavioral experts, and people connected to the case. Full trial coverage when proceedings begin. And the kind of honest, no-nonsense breakdown you won't get anywhere else — because we've been covering this case from the beginning.

Hosted by Tony Brueski, a veteran true crime journalist, and featuring analysis from defense attorneys, former federal agents, and behavioral specialists, The Cruise Ship Murder Of Anna Kepner goes beyond the headlines to examine what happened aboard that ship, what's happening inside that courtroom, and what this case reveals about the systems that are supposed to protect people like Anna.
