Teen Charged as Adult in Cruise Murder

A teen accused of murdering his stepsister aboard a cruise ship has been jailed after a judge reversed an earlier decision to let him stay with family. Timothy Hudson, 16, surrendered to U.S. Marshals and will be held in a juvenile facility as his trial looms in September. Anna Kepner, 15, died of mechanical asphyxiation during a November cruise; Hudson pleaded not guilty and was indicted as an adult. Authorities say no release conditions can guarantee public safety, and if convicted, he could face life in prison. The cruise line says it’s supporting the family and cooperating fully with investigators. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
