An 18-year-old high-school senior, Anna Kepner, boarded the Carnival Horizon in early November 2025 for what was supposed to be a weeklong Caribbean getaway. Within days, she was found dead onboard. The ship returned to Port Miami, and waiting at the pier were agents from the FBI.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the facts only — no speculation, no rumors. What do we actually know about what happened aboard the Carnival Horizon? Why does the FBI take the lead when a death occurs on the open sea? And how common are fatalities aboard cruise ships that carry millions of passengers every year?

Tony unpacks the confirmed timeline: when Anna was found, when the ship returned, and how federal jurisdiction under Title 18 U.S. Code § 7 gives the FBI authority over deaths that happen in U.S. maritime territory. We also look at the bigger picture — how cruise lines handle onboard deaths, what the statistics show, and why so few details ever reach the public.

This is not about gossip — it’s about transparency, procedure, and accountability when tragedy strikes far from shore.
A promising life ended in silence. The investigation continues. And we ask the question every parent and passenger deserves answered: How does someone die at sea — and why don’t we hear the truth sooner?

Stay tuned for updates as the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner and FBI release their findings.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
