The mother of a teenage girl who tragically died on a cruise ship has shared the disturbing way she discovered her daughter’s death.

Fresh information has emerged in the case of Anna Kepner, an 18-year-old whose body was found on a Carnival Cruise ship during a family vacation in November.

Anna, from Titusville, Florida, was aboard a six-day Carnival cruise with her family when she was pronounced dead in international waters between Mexico and Florida. The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner determined Anna’s time of death as 11.17 am on November 7; however, authorities have not disclosed details regarding an autopsy, cause of death, or manner of death.

Her body was concealed under a bed, wrapped in a blanket, and covered with life jackets before a maid discovered it. The FBI and ship security personnel are interviewing additional passengers, crew members, and Kepner’s relatives.

According to reports, Anna first felt unwell on the night of November 6 and returned to her cabin. The following day, her father, Christopher Kepner, 41, and other family members searched the ship for her when she did not appear for breakfast.

In a recent interview, Anna’s mother, Heather Wright, disclosed that she learned of her daughter’s death through Google. She also mentioned that her youngest son was informed at school by a friend that his sister was murdered.

She received a text prompting her to check if her daughter was on a cruise, leading her to search desperately for Anna online. After unsuccessful attempts to contact her daughter or ex-husband, Wright searched for ’18-year-old died on cruise ship.’

“And that’s when my daughter’s face popped up all over Google,” she revealed.

Law enforcement is currently examining CCTV footage from the ship and analyzing electronic key card data to identify who accessed the teenager’s cabin, as per a source informed CBS.

Carnival Cruise Line affirmed its complete cooperation with the federal investigation.
