被控杀害并性侵安娜·凯普纳的16岁继兄蒂莫西·哈德森的继祖母，呼吁就凯普纳一家在游轮度假期间涉嫌的疏忽行为，对凯普纳的父亲和继母提起诉讼。
18岁的高中啦啦队员凯普纳当时和家人一起乘坐嘉年华游轮，其中包括她的父亲克里斯·凯普纳和继母尚特尔·凯普纳，她就是在这次航行中遇害的。
“在这座‘漂浮的城市’里，父母却缺乏监管，”曾帮助抚养哈德森的索尼娅·齐斯克说道，“将三个从未一起长大的青少年——两名男孩和一名女孩——安排在同一个房间里，这简直就是灾难的配方。”
这是齐斯克首次向媒体谈及这起事件。她同时也是尚特尔·凯普纳的继母。齐斯克表示，她和丈夫（尚特尔·凯普纳的生父）在网上看到相关报道后，试图联系尚特尔了解事件经过，但尚特尔并未解释发生了什么。
据齐斯克透露，尚特尔·凯普纳当时只对他们说了一句话：“不管你做什么，千万别和媒体说话。”
哈德森曾告诉家人，他不记得凯普纳遇害当晚发生的事情。齐斯克认为当时涉及酒精，他可能因此失去了记忆。
“他真的不记得了，”齐斯克说，“蒂莫西说他们当时喝了酒。我百分之百相信那些孩子在船上喝了酒。”
尚特尔和克里斯·凯普纳此前曾通过律师在一场涉及监护权纠纷的家庭法庭听证会上否认孩子们喝过酒。
“关于饮酒问题，律师提出的相关事宜，船上的录像完全证实当时根本没有人饮酒，”尚特尔·凯普纳的律师米莉森特·阿萨纳森在11月的监护权听证会上说道。
“这里的问题是，父母是否做了什么，或是没做什么，从而导致他们的孩子犯下了这起可怕的罪行？”前棕榈滩州检察官戴夫·阿龙伯格谈及父母疏忽指控的通常调查流程时说道。他并未参与本案。
“这是一个完全基于事实的调查，目前我不知道是否有足够的证据支撑这项指控，”他告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
尽管哈德森已按成年人标准被起诉，并面临一级谋杀和性侵指控，但由于他仍是未成年人，目前并未被拘留。
在联邦法院被起诉对未成年人提供了大量保护措施，包括将他们安排在靠近家人的地方，只要可能，就安置在寄养家庭或社区机构中。
“我不是说他有罪或是无罪，我只是说这不符合他的性格，”齐斯克说道，“所有人都在说他如何逍遥法外。他并没有自由。无论他是无辜还是有罪，他的人生都已经毁了。”
哈德森目前由他的舅舅监护，但也曾与齐斯克和其他家庭成员相处过，包括和他一起住在佛罗里达州坦帕地区家中的年幼表亲。
齐斯克认为，鉴于游轮上发生的所谓事件，克里斯和尚特尔·凯普纳不适合继续拥有其余子女的监护权。
“她让孩子们和我们这边所有人都隔绝开来，不和他们的父亲、祖父母联系，不和我们所有人联系，”齐斯克说，“所以我完全不了解过去两年的情况。比如他是否心怀愤怒，或是他的精神状态如何，我对此一无所知。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻获得的最新法庭文件显示，警方从游轮失物招领处找回了安娜·凯普纳的手机。监控录像显示，哈德森曾在一个垃圾桶附近丢弃该设备，警方正是从那里找到了手机。
根据法庭文件，事件发生当晚，哈德森和安娜·凯普纳单独待在他们共用的客舱里，时间约为晚上7点51分到11点21分。
检察官称，安娜·凯普纳用来追踪心率的苹果手表在此期间停止了运转，他们认为这就是案件发生的时间。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻联系了克里斯和尚特尔·凯普纳的律师，但对方并未回复记者的置评请求。
Step-grandmother of suspect in Anna Kepner case calls for charges against Kepner’s father, stepmother
June 11, 2026 / 4:59 PM EDT / CBS News
The step-grandmother of Timothy Hudson, the 16-year-old stepbrother of Anna Kepner who has been charged in her death and sexual assault, is calling for charges against Kepner’s father and stepmother over alleged neglect during their cruise vacation.
Kepner, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader, was on a Carnival cruise ship with her family, including her father and stepmother Chris and Shauntel Kepner, when she was killed.
“The lack of parental supervision on a floating city,” said Sonya Ziske, who says she helped raise Hudson. “Putting three teenagers, two boys and a girl in a room together that were not raised together, It’s just a recipe for disaster.”
This is the first time Ziske, who is also Shauntel Kepner’s stepmother, has spoken to the media about the incident. According to Ziske, when she and her husband, who is Shauntel Kepner’s biological father, tried to reach out to her about the incident after reading reports about it online, she wouldn’t explain what happened.
“Whatever you do, just don’t talk to the media,” is all Shauntel Kepner told them, according to Ziske.
Hudson has told his family he has no recollection of the night Kepner died. Ziske believes alcohol was involved and that he may have blacked out.
“He truly does not remember,” Ziske said. “Timothy has said that they were drinking. I believe 100% those kids were drinking on the ship.”
Shauntel and Chris Kepner have previously denied the children were drinking through their attorney during a family court hearing related to a custody battle.
“The issue that counsel raised about drinking, there are videotapes on the ship that confirmed that there was absolutely no drinking,” said Millicent Athanason, an attorney for Shauntel Kepner during a November custody hearing.
“Here, the question is, did the parents do something or fail to do something that enabled their child to commit this horrific crime?” said Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach State Prosecutor, about how investigations on parental neglect typically take place. He is not involved in this case.
“It’s a very fact-based inquiry, and I don’t know if there are enough facts to sustain that charge,” he told CBS News.
Despite being charged as an adult and facing first degree murder and sexual assault charges, Hudson is not being detained because he is a minor.
Being charged in a federal court has vast protections for minors, including that they be held near their family or, whenever possible, a foster home or community-based facility.
“I’m not saying he did, or he did not. I’m saying it’s not his character,” said Ziske. “Everybody’s out there saying how he’s walking free. He is not free. His life is over, whether he is innocent or guilty.”
Hudson is currently in the custody of his maternal uncle, but has spent time with Ziske and other family members, including his young cousins who live with him in a home in Florida’s Tampa area.
Ziske believes Chris and Shauntel Kepner are unfit to have custody of the remaining children, given what allegedly transpired on the cruise ship.
“She kept them isolated from everybody over here. From their dad, from their grandparents. From all of us,” Ziske said. “So, I don’t know the past two years. Like, if he was angry, or his mental state, I don’t know any of that.”
New court documents obtained by CBS News reveal authorities recovered Anna Kepner’s cell phone from the ship’s lost and found. The phone had been recovered from a trash can where Hudson allegedly was seen on surveillance video apparently disposing of the device.
According to the court documents, Hudson and Anna Kepner were alone in the cabin they shared from about 7:51 p.m. to 11:21 p.m. the night of the incident.
Prosecutors allege Anna Kepner’s Apple Watch, which tracked her heart rate, stopped working during this time, which they believe is when the crime allegedly occurred.
CBS News reached out to Chris and Shauntel Kepner’s attorney, who did not respond to our inquiry.
