“There’s no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.” 

These are statements made by Anna Kepner’s grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. 

Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna’s grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother. 

The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna’s murder. 

They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna’s biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna’s murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other’s hands.

Anna’s father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect.    

This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder.

November 8, 2025, a small SUV drives up to the Carnival cruise ship docked at Port Miami. The thick letters on the side of the car read: 

MIAMI DADE COUNTY 
MEDICAL EXAMINER 

FBI agents are seen bringing what appears to be a cadaver stretcher off the ship. 

Just 24 hours before docking, in a cabin where three step-siblings were rooming together, a crew member finds a dead body. 

An 18 year old girl named Anna Kepner, hidden underneath a mattress amongst blankets and life jackets. 

The youngest sibling is seemingly ruled out and the most likely person of interest appears to be her 16 year old step brother...Whom Anna’s father and stepmother seem to be defensively ‘protective’ of.  

This is the ongoing case of Anna Kepner’s murder.

Is it possible to completely forget something you experienced?

Well, it depends on who you ask. Pick a side and welcome to the memory wars.

One side believes it is possible. There are documented cases of victims of traumatic events who forget for years until one day when they begin to remember.

The other side believes that this is not a real thing. You cannot just forget a memory and then suddenly remember it.

The stakes are high for the memory wars. And the stakes are even higher for the False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

FMSF is on the side that denies repressed memories. For decades, FMSF has denied victims of all ages who have remembered experiences of CSA and torture, including Mary Knight. This is her story.

Almost everyone in Los Angeles hopes that one day they’ll receive an invitation on their doorstep inviting them to one of Al Sekel’s parties. In order to attend, he always provides a vague caveat like, ‘bring the most interesting person you know.’

Fulfill it and the host himself will likely usher you inside his mansion, give you the tour, and show you a giant painting that seems to be…moving?

Later on, someone at the party might clue you in, ‘He’s the world’s greatest collector of optical illusions. He likes them because they violate expectations.’

Al Sekel is known as a harmless, artsy oddball who just happens to be Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother in law, until the most recent release of Epstein’s emails.

An email from Sekel to Epstein in 2010 reads in short, ‘Now the headlines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile…Your wiki entry now is pretty tame and bad stuff has been muted…We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption.’

According to the email, Sekel helped Epstein clean up his online image. To Sekel, the damage control is likely just another optical illusion.

However, we’ll never truly know why because soon after those emails, Al Sekel goes missing. Weeks pass and authorities find his body at the bottom of an 100 ft cliff in France. One of his hands and one of his feet is nowhere to be found. Yet, authorities say he died by s*icide.

But how many s*icides connected to one case is too many?

An alleged page of Epstein’s 50th birthday book is leaked, featuring a drawing of what looks like the outline of a woman’s torso. No head, just the curves of a neck, shoulders, no arms and ‘u’ shaped drawings for the breasts.

Within the outlined silhouette is a badly written poem and it’s signed at the very bottom, ‘Donald J. Trump’ in thick black ink. His scribbled signature seemingly positioned as the pubic hair of the woman’s silhouette.  

Trump sues the Wall Street Journal for distributing this alleged letter for $10B and posts on ‘truth social’ that it’s completely fake.

Despite this denial, a clip of Epstein’s deposition begins to circulate alongside the poem. Epstein is sitting on a leather armchair, fully leaned to one side, arm propped on the chair, his head resting in his hand.

He is asked, “Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?”

Epstein answers, “What do you mean by personal relationship?”

“Have you socialized with him?”

“Yes sir.”

“Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?”

Epstein replies, “Though I’d like to answer that question at least today, I’m going to have to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment right sir.”

The 5th Amendment permits someone to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination. The man’s name mentioned in Epstein’s deposition? The current president of the United States.

How many of the world’s most elite and powerful people are connected to serial sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein??

According to public autopsy records, many people regarded as whistleblowers have died by s*icide. 

Virginia Giuffre is one of Epstein’s most outspoken victims who has spent her life fighting to bring Epstein and Ghislaine to justice. 

At 17 years old she is photographed with “Prince” Andrew whose hand is wrapped around her waist. 

By her late 20s she’s best known for exposing that picture to the public and testifying to the trafficking she was subjected to by some of the world’s elite. 

Yet now, as of April 25th, 2025, Virginia Giuffre is dead. Leaving behind a manuscript titled “Nobody’s Girl” detailing the 2 years she was trafficking by Epstein to limitlessly powerful people.

Before her death she emails two confidants: 

“In the event of my passing, I would like to ensure that “Nobody’s Girl” is still released...” Sent April 1, 2025.

April 25, 2025, Virginia Giuffre will be found dead. Her death ruled as a s*icide less than a month after her email and a few years after she made the following tweet on X: 

“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape, or form am I s*icidal. I have made this known to my therapist and GP– if something happens to me– in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.” 

Now, a lot can change in a few years, including someone's mental state. But with the Epstein case and files... 

Everyone feels like a suspect.

Everyone has money. 

Everyone has power. 

And everyone has a lot to lose.

A few months after beloved son, Grant Solomon, dies in a freak accident 3 more grave plots are bought next to his.

One for his younger sister Gracie.

Another for the siblings’ mother, Angie.

And the last for the patriarch of the family, Aaron.

All three whom are still, very much alive.

In fact, Angie and Aaron, now divorced, are not only breathing but they’re basically just busy hating each other. Would they really want to lay next to each other for the rest of eternity?

And what about Gracie, Grant’s younger sister who just entered her teenage years? She’s most likely going to grow up, start a family of her own and be laid to rest with them…right?

The Freedom For Gracie instagram posts about the 3 grave plots that were purchased far too prematurely. Apparently, the culprit is none other than Aaron. The patriarch. The father. The estranged ex-husband, who by the way, isn’t new to accusations…

Another glimpse at the Freedom For Gracie page provides some context: Did Aaron kill his own son Grant and is he trying to take down the rest of the family next?

Police are at a loss, the public is at a loss, until five years later when the case flips on its head.

Angie is the one sitting in prison facing charges of murder for hire.

This is the case of the Solomon family.

The instructions were very clear: Walk over to the hit car. Open the front passenger door and get in. Do not look around. Keep your head facing forward. Act normal. Angie Solomon does just that, slides in and stares at the dashboard.

“Have you done this before?”

A male voice answers from the backseat behind her to let her know that she’s asking one too many questions. Angie nervously laughs then continues.

Angie tells the hitman in the backseat of the car about her youngest child. A daughter named Gracie, whom Angie claims, was abused by her ex-husband and Gracie’s father Aaron. Angie continues. She tells the hitman about Aaron’s schedule, his address, how his gate has a hole in the back that the hitman can get through.

The hitman finally speaks, “You understand that I’m not going to see you again. You understand that right? He’ll be dead and disappear…”

But the morning after Angie plotted to kill her ex-husband, Aaron would not be dead.

And the two them, Mr. Backseat man and Angie, they would see each other again… In a courtroom full of people while the recording of Angie in the hit car plays in open court.

Mr. Backseat Man is an undercover FBI agent.

By 2025 Angie will be arrested for murder for hire. Aaron will be accused of trafficking his daughter Gracie in a high powered ring of mega church pastors and the governor of Tennessee.

And Grant, the first born son will be dead.

This is the case of the Solomons where it’s clear that at least one of them is lying. We just don’t know who.
