The biological mother of Anna Kepner, the 18-year-old Florida cheerleader whose lifeless body was found crammed under a bed and wrapped in a blanket on a Carnival Horizon cruise ship in early November, is speaking out, questioning why the teen was sharing a cabin with her stepbrother, now reportedly suspected in her death.
Heather Wright, who had been estranged from her daughter for several years, bashed the teen’s father, her ex, to Fox News digital for apparently painting her as a villain, as authorities formally ruled the girl’s death a homicide. Wright alleged that she was told not to attend her daughter’s memorial service, claiming her ex and Anna’s father Christopher Kepner threatened to have her arrested for unpaid child support.
“Why am I the bad guy?” Wright told the outlet. “He put them in the same room together.”
