Stepbrother charged in cruise murder

Federal prosecutors allege that the teenager, identified as T.H., strangled Kepner before concealing her body under a bed in the room they shared with another family member.

The case, which is being handled by the U.S. Justice Department, has shocked the Florida community where the family resides.

Kepner was a high school cheerleader who had recently been accepted to the University of Georgia.

The suspect faces a potential life sentence if convicted of the heinous crimes committed during what was supposed to be a family vacation.
