The teenager accused of taking Anna Kepner’s life aboard a Caribbean cruise ship will remain free as he awaits trial in connection with his stepsister’s passing.
Timothy Hudson, 16, was labeled by prosecutors as a “danger to others,” but Judge Edwin Torres decided not to place him behind bars.
Hudson was sharing a cabin with Kepner, 18, during a family cruise trip aboard the Carnival Horizon last November. The girl’s body was found beneath a bed in their room, concealed with a blanket and life vests.
