The grandmother floored me! How long has she known the 16 year old? Not that it matters. Someone (most likely him) murdered her granddaughter. I'd be on the floor howling with rage and grief! This family! IMO
And unfortunately they would probably get something out of it! IMO
Preliminary findings indicate she died of asphyxiation from a bar hold – an arm across the neck – with investigators noting two bruises on the side of her neck. A final autopsy and toxicology report are still pending.

Here’s your future lawsuit against the cruise line by the family. The boy had alcohol in his system so the staff was negligent by giving alcohol to a minor. It’s everybody else's fault!!The boy was allegedly allowed to drink while the ship was in international waters, according to an attorney involved in a separate custody dispute.

Gotta love "demons in his PAST"How did step-grandma hear about her new step-grandson’s ‘demons’? What demons, at age 16? She had to hear this from her son and his new wife.
On Monday, her grandmother Barbara told Good Morning America that her family were stunned that Anna's stepbrother, who has not been named, was accused.
'They were like brother and sister, he was a good student,' she said. 'He played soccer, and is a very quiet young man.'
Barbara said that he 'had demons in his past and was trying to deal with those', and revealed that he broke down when confronted by investigators.

Someone please refresh my memory. Wasn't Anna raised by her grandparents? Would these be the same grandparents or was she raised by her bio mom's parents?It’s difficult to keep up with the ever changing versions of events.
“The last night her grandparents saw Anna alive, her dental braces had been bothering her at dinner, Barbara Kepner said. But Anna was still determined to join in the fun.
Family of 18-year-old who died on cruise speaks out as stepbrother is named 'suspect'
The young woman's body was discovered by a room attendant, “concealed under the bed,” and there were bruises on the side of her neck, according to the Kepners.
“She just said, ‘Meemaw, I think I'm gonna go back to my room for a little bit, I don't feel well.’ And she must have felt better, because she got dressed up. And she came down, we were playing in the casino. And she sat down and she played $20. And she didn't win anything. And she said, ‘Meemaw, I love you guys, I'll see you later,’” Mrs. Kepner said. “She'd pop in and out to check in with us. And we never saw her again after that.”
Carnival would NOT serve him alcohol. Now if mom bought it and gave it to him, thats another thing. Your card has your photo on it when they run it for your drinks.... and they are NOT going to give it to a minor.
IIRC she was raised by the second wife - the nanny one. Is this wrong?
The Kepner's family provided ABC news with a copy of Anna's death certificate!!!!!!!! I just can't with these people.Finally, but still no comment from the FBI.
