  Speaker 1: A horrific cruise ship investigation has taken a major turn
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: as a teenage suspect is finally in federal custody. On Monday,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: sixteen year old Timothy Hudson surrendered to US marshals. According
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to court documents, the surrender was ordered by Judge Edwin Torres,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: coming exactly one week after prosecutors moved to revoke the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: teenager's pre trial release. Hudson faces adult charges of murder
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and aggravated sexual abuse for the November twenty twenty five
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: death of his eighteen year old stepsister, Anna Keepner aboard
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the Carnival Cruise Line vessel The Horizon. The tragedy occurred
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: during their family's first blended vacation following the marriage of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Hudson's mother, Chantelle Hudson, to Anna's father, Christopher Kepner. According
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to court filings, Anna was last seen returning to the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: state room she shared with Hudson and her fourteen year
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: old half brother on the night of November sixth. She
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was found dead under her bed the next morning. The
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Miami Dade Medical Examiner's Office determined her cause of death
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to be mechanical asphyxiation due to homicide. Here's how the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: evidence stacks up against step brother Timothy Hudson. Prosecutor state
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: one vaginal swab was one hundred and twenty six tillion
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: times more likely to match Hudson than a stranger. A
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: second swab was one point two septillian times more likely
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to match him. Additionally, CCTV and phone data show Kepner
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: entering their shared cabin in never leaving. Even worse, her
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: phone's location data mirrored Hudson's movements right before it was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: found smashed in a trash bin. Initially, Hudson was released
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to a family member without bail following a February sixth
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: appearance in US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Because he was charged as a miner at that time,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the Juvenile Detention Act protected him from pre trial detention. However,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: prosecutors have since indicted him as an adult, prompting Judge
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Torres to reverse his decision. In his written order, Judge
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Torres stated that the prosecution's case for forcible rape is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: beyond clear and convincing, adding that Hudson's behavior suggests a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: level of psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: raises a serious concern that he can snap at any time.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The judge concluded that Hudson presents a clear danger to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: himself and others. Hudson's long awaited arrest answers the pleas
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of a devastated family. In February, Hudson's mother and Anna's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: father released a joint statement expressing their outrage over his
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: initial release, stating it was deeply painful and disturbing that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the person responsible was able to walk freely while they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lived with the loss of their child. Hudson now remains
• 2:47
