Recently shared footage captures 18-year-old Anna Kepner joyfully dancing with other passengers on the Carnival Horizon, offering one of the last public sightings of the Florida teen before her untimely death aboard the cruise ship.

Posted by TikTok user @nickcapo609, the video highlights the ship’s Sail Away Party on November 2 as it embarked from Miami on a weeklong journey through the Caribbean.

In the video, passengers can be seen moving to the music on the open deck. Central among them is Kepner, dressed in black shorts and a white top, enjoying the company of fellow travelers. Her grandmother, identifiable in a pink outfit, stands nearby.

Authorities have shared limited information regarding the events that transpired between the recording of the video and the discovery of Kepner’s body.

She was found dead Nov. 7 in her cabin aboard the Carnival Horizon.

The teenager’s body was found under a bed in a room she was sharing with two of her siblings, including her 16-year-old stepbrother.

Officials said she died from “mechanical asphyxia,” and the FBI has launched an investigation.

The ship returned to PortMiami Nov. 9, and federal authorities boarded and began collecting evidence.

While the bureau hasn’t publicly identified anyone as a suspect and no criminal charges have been filed, the feud in family court between Anna’s father and stepmother, Christopher Kepner and Shauntel Kepner, and Shauntel’s ex-husband, Thomas Hudson, has revealed that their 16-year-old son is being investigated in Anna’s death.
