Anna Kepner’s family ‘at peace’ after her alleged killer stepbrother is shipped off to jail
Key Points:
- Anna Kepner’s family expressed relief and said they are "at peace" after her stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, 16, was sent to jail following the revocation of his pretrial release by a Florida judge on June 15.
- Hudson, who is being tried as an adult, faces charges of murder and aggravated sexual abuse related to Kepner’s November 2025 asphyxiation death aboard a Carnival Cruise ship.
- The family criticized the fact that Hudson had been free for an extended period before his bail was revoked, which occurred shortly after what would have been Anna’s 19th birthday.
- Kepner’s loved ones continue to honor her memory and hope for a swift conclusion to the trial, while Hudson maintains his plea of not guilty.
