ABC News
The stepbrother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was found dead aboard a Carnival Cruise ship in November, was arrested and charged this week in connection with the case.
The stepbrother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was found dead aboard a Carnival Cruise ship in November, was arrested and charged this week in connection with the case, according to Anna Kepner's father, who is the stepfather of the suspect.
The stepbrother was released to the custody of a guardian, Chris Kepner said.
It's not known what specific charges he is facing.
The family's lawyers did not reply to requests for comment. All court records are sealed because the suspect was charged as a juvenile. The FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office and the local prosecutor's office would not discuss the case.
Weeks after Anna Kepner's death on the cruise ship during a Caribbean vacation, the stepbrother had been named a "suspect" by his parents in a court filing in an unrelated custody case.
