Anna Kepner’s father blasted the court for allowing the 18-year-old’s alleged killer, her stepbrother Timothy Hudson, to roam free prior to trial. “We’re upset that he’s still out. We’re six months in, and he should already have been arrested, yet he’s free to do whatever he wants right now,” Christopher Kepner told the Daily Mail. The 16-year-old has been living with a paternal uncle while wearing an electronic monitoring device, according to court documents. Kepner said that Timothy, his wife’s son, should be in an “orange jumpsuit” and insisted that he is “a danger to himself and a danger to others.” Anna was found dead in November on a Carnival cruise after cleaning staff discovered her body stuffed under a bed, wrapped in a blanket, and covered with life vests. Investigators revealed that she was sexually abused prior to her death. The Department of Justice announced on Monday that Hudson will be tried as an adult on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse. He pleaded not guilty in February.
