A relaxing Caribbean cruise turns into a waking nightmare when crew members discover apassenger dead just hours before the Carnival Horizon returns to Miami.

The FBI is now investigating 18-year-old Anna Kepner’s mysterious death, not commenting on whether foul play
is suspected. Now, Titusville, Florida, is grieving the loss of the high school senior with a bright future, and looking for answers.

Anna Kepner, 18, starts her 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 and is licensed to boat and scuba certified. She enjoys making TikTok videos 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. She was close with her "Meemaw," who will dearly miss her "Anna Banana."

Family members hope she is remembered for her generosity and spirit and how she lived her 18 years to the fullest.
