After 18-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead from mechanical asphyxiation aboard the Carnival Horizon, her fractured family has erupted into public conflict.
The FBI is investigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anna\u2019s estranged mother, Heather Wright, says she was pushed out of her daughter\u2019s life for years and was warned not to attend the memorial. She partially blames her ex-husband, Christopher Kepner, for placing Anna and her teenage stepbrother in the same room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christopher, meanwhile, suggests his 16-year-old stepson may have been involved, saying he wants the boy to \u201cface the consequences\u201d if evidence confirms it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends paint a troubling picture of Anna\u2019s living situation, claiming the stepbrother behaved inappropriately and that Anna felt unsafe and unwelcome in her blended household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family, already strained by distance, is now divided by grief, accusations, and an active federal investigation into who killed Anna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
