Indications are it may be a homicide.

They also have a medical facility with a doctor and nurses. It’s similar to an Urgent Care.

Makes sense I guess, as does the morgue, just not something one hears about much.
Kepner’s 16-year-old stepbrother was “obsessed with her” and relentlessly pursued her despite their newly blended family, Steven Westin told “Inside Edition,” citing conversations he had with his son.
“She was scared of him because he always carried around a big knife,” the alarmed father claimed to the outlet in an interview that aired Thursday.

Her funeral was held Thursday in Titusville, but her biological mother, Heather Kepner, told “Inside Edition” that she was barred from attending due to long-standing family tensions – but will do what it takes to say goodbye.

Have to go back to read the link but just wanted to say first that watched something today that had a phone call i think it was with her mom and mom said she hadn't seen her in a few years, i think three. mom was heartbroken i thought but just mentioning as if mom had no contact it would mean anna was definitely with this stepfamily full time. Now I am going to go read the link, had not heard that he was obsessed with her but it doesn't surprise me based on what we know.Kepner’s 16-year-old stepbrother was “obsessed with her” and relentlessly pursued her despite their newly blended family, Steven Westin told “Inside Edition,” citing conversations he had with his son.

SMH. I have read it now. Not surprised with how this entire thing has seemed. Third marriage for dad, stepmom in a bitter custody battle, her mom not seeing her (gong to wear heels and a wig so she can attend the service, will that work since she has announced that publicly?), teenage stepkids thrown together...
This part gave me pause...
Westin said his son, Joshua, who dated Kepner, once “saw her stepbrother come into the room when she was sleeping and get on top of her” during a FaceTime call.
Who was he facetiming? Anna? And she fell asleep during their Facetime?? Just sounds a bit odd.
So per him, he tried to tell dad and stepmom but they ignored it, did Anna try to tell them??
What a lot of what I'd call dirty laundry coming out. I don't know about dad but at this point, i'd say he didn't pick so good and threw his daughter to a teen predator.

No, according to her ex bf's father, the stepbrother was obsessed with her...

No kidding right??
Didn’t she tell her parents? Why in the world would they have her in a ship cabin with him? Or did they think having the other brother in there would protect her from him? Regardless, it was really a stupid move.Kepner’s 16-year-old stepbrother was “obsessed with her” and relentlessly pursued her despite their newly blended family, Steven Westin told “Inside Edition,” citing conversations he had with his son.

I saw the mom last night on one the Youtubers. Probably Brian Entin, but can’t remember. She didn’t look well. She might not have been allowed to see Anna because of her lifestyle. I’m going to just leave it at that because she’s not on trial here and she has enough sorrow to deal with.

Which makes it even more crazy that the PARENTS had them stay in the same room. I don't blame his dad for thinking the way he does here. Yes, it's the kid's fault he killed her (cough*allegedly*cough), but this set of parents proved they made horrible decisions that put her life in danger and could possibly put the other children's lives in danger.

Yes, I thought her heartbroken. It just means that Anna only had her father and his new marriage and nowhere else to go imo. It also shows she had a broken family system.
Mom doesn't belong in it, I agree, she had nothing to do with what happened. She did I think provide pics of Anna when little. It was nice seeing those.

People are running with and saying they shared a cabin but I don't think it has EVER been confirmed. I don't doubt it but I don't take it as fact yet.

I really doubt the parents did that, I bet they shared a room and the kids had one BUT I don't believe it is confirmed.

That is my understanding of the arrangements.
We will not get official confirmation on this one until the investigation is done since it's being conducted by the FBI.
Well surveillance footage shows her returning to her cabin, then her brothers returning. The youngest brother leaves, leaving Anna alone with the older boy.
When the younger brother returns, Anna is no longer there, but there is no footage of her leaving.
Consider the sources though, I guess. The Sun, Daily Mail, and New York Post are tabloids.

The night before she was found dead, Kepner told her family she wasn’t feeling well after dinner and returned to her cabin.
The FBI obtained footage from inside the vessel that showed Kepher walking as she headed back to her room, according to the outlet.
A short while later, the minors also reportedly returned to the cabin.
Footage reportedly captured the youngest sibling leaving the room and wandering the vessel, capturing photos.
The young child noticed Kepner was not in the room when they returned but assumed she was up late with other family members, the Daily Mail reported.
However, when the family gathered for breakfast on the morning of November 7, Kepner never showed.

I believe it's been established that the two teen boys and Anna shared a cabin together. She was in a regular bed and they were in bunk beds. I'll look for a link.
What's hard for me to understand is how her body was under a bed (not sure which one) and no one smelled any blood? Or do we even know her manner of death?
