Stepbrother Charged in Cruise Murder

Federal prosecutors have unmasked 16-year-old Timothy Hudson as the suspect in the brutal killing of his stepsister, Anna Kepner, aboard the Carnival Horizon.

Hudson is accused of strangling the cheerleader before concealing her body under a bed in the room they shared.

While the suspect will be tried as an adult, he is ineligible for the death penalty due to his age at the time of the alleged crime.

The case has shocked the travel industry and raised questions about safety protocols on large cruise vessels.

Hudson remains in custody awaiting trial in Florida.
