New chilling details are emerging about the death of teenage cheerleader Anna Kepner on a Carnival Cruise.
In addition, a potential suspect has been described in the case, although it's still not clear whether Kepner died of foul play.
Video showed the teen's body being removed from the Carnival Cruise ship as it docked in Miami. Then, it turned out that Kepner was on a family cruise when she was found dead, and the FBI was involved.
Now, ABC News is reporting that the teenager "was found dead under a bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered by life vests."
According to ABC News, the cause of death has not yet been determined, although authorities were probing "whether there might have been some sort of altercation with her stepbrother prior to her death."
However, the network reported that other possible causes of death were still on the table, including the possibility of an overdose or a "medical emergency."
Fox 35 Orlando obtained an emergency motion in another court case involving Kepner's stepmother that shed some light on the investigation.
It indicates that the FBI "could be launching a criminal investigation into one of the stepmom's children – potentially one of Kepner's stepmother's children," according to Fox 35 Orlando.
"The respondent has been advised through discussions with FBI investigators and her attorneys that a criminal case may be initiated against one of the minor children," reads the document obtained by the television station.
Kepner died on the morning of November 7 aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship, reported Fox 35 Orlando, which noted that other family members were on board.
According to ABC News, Kepner, 18, would have graduated from high school in May and "was traveling aboard the ship on a route from Miami to the Caribbean when she died."
“When she walked into a room, she would light it up,” her family told ABC News. “If you were sad, she’d make you laugh. She would joke around and be the funniest little person in school.”
