A relaxing Caribbean cruise turns into a waking nightmare when crew members discover a
passenger dead just hours before the Carnival Horizon returns to Miami. The FBI now
investigating 18-year-old Anna Kepner’s mysterious death, not commenting on whether foulplay
is suspected. Now, Titusville, Florida grieving the loss of the high school senior with a
bright future, and looking for answers.
Anna Kepner, 18, starts senior year at Temple Christian School excited about her future. Anna
paints her parking spot to match her favorite movie, Clueless, and is ecstatic to be back on the
field, cheering for the Lions. Anna loves the water, licensed to boat and scuba certified. She
enjoys making Tik-Tok's with her friends and brother. Anna plans on joining the military after
high school, already in talks with recruiters. In fact, she’s waiting on the results of her ASVAB
testing to determine which jobs will suit her best.
Anna’s family says, “She was the best child you could ever meet,” and a people person, who
“drew you in with her smile and the way she carried herself.” Anna was deeply involved in her
community, volunteering with local businesses and her grandparents’ senior living community.
Anna was very close with her ‘Meemaw,’ who will dearly miss her ‘Anna Banana.’ Family
members hope she is remembered for her generosity and spirit, and know she lived her 18
years to the fullest.
