<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNEXT NOVEMBER. ALL RIGHT. WE\u2019RE TURNING NOW TO THE WORDS WE HAVEN\u2019T SEEN YET SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF 18 YEAR OLD ANNA KEPNER OF BREVARD COUNTY. THE WORDS ARE NOT CONTAINED IN A DOCUMENT RELATED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. SUSPECTED MURDER APPEARS IN A MOTION FOR A GAG ORDER. THOSE ARE THE TWO WORDS WESH 2\u2019S GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN. LIVE IN STUDIO TO EXPLAIN GAIL. YEAH. THIS NON DISSEMINATION MOTION FILED BY ANNA KEPNER, STEPMOTHER, IS ASKING A JUDGE TO RESTRICT INDIVIDUALS FROM PUBLICLY DISCUSSING THE CASE OR SHARING ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT. WE ALSO SPOKE WITH ANNA\u2019S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER TONIGHT, 18 YEAR OLD ANNA KEPNER WAS FOUND DEAD ON A CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIP ON NOVEMBER 7TH. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER NOR THE FBI HAS NOT YET RELEASED HER CAUSE OF DEATH OR HOW SHE DIED, BUT A NEW COURT DOCUMENT, WESH TWO NEWS, OBTAINED FRIDAY, FILED UNDER THE FAMILY LAW DIVISION, HAS THE WORD SUSPECTED MURDER IN IT. THE DOCUMENT, FILED IN A SEPARATE AND UNRELATED CASE THURSDAY BY THE ATTORNEY FOR ANNA\u2019S STEPMOTHER, HAS TO DO WITH A CUSTODY BATTLE. PART OF IT SAYS AN EXTREMELY SENSITIVE AND SEVERE CIRCUMSTANCE HAS ARISEN WHEREIN THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION BEING CONDUCTED BY THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE SUSPECTED MURDER OF THE RESPONDENT MOTHER\u2019S STEPDAUGHTER. THIS IS A SAME CASE IN WHICH OTHER DOCUMENTS STATED ANNA\u2019S 16 YEAR OLD STEPBROTHER WAS CONSIDERED A SUSPECT IN HER DEATH. WE SPOKE WITH ANNA, KEPNER\u2019S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER, ON THE TELEPHONE TO GET HER REACTION. IT\u2019S NOT A SUSPECTED MURDER LIKE IT\u2019S BEEN PROVEN. SHE IS GONE. SHE DIED, AND NOW WE DON\u2019T HAVE THE FBI\u2019S ACTUAL OR THE CORONER\u2019S ACTUAL CAUSE OF DEATH. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL THIS? I\u2019M STILL TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT. I HAVE NO IDEA. LIKE, I KEEP THINKING IT\u2019S JUST A NIGHTMARE AND I\u2019M GOING TO WAKE UP. I CAN\u2019T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING THROUGH AT THAT MOMENT. THE NEW FILING, WHICH IS A NON DISSEMINATION ORDER, REFERENCES THE 16 YEAR OLD BY SAYING THE MINOR CHILD IS CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT OF THE ACTIVE FBI CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. THERE IS GOOD CAUSE FOR THE NEED TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY, SENSITIVITY AND WELL-BEING OF NOT ONLY THE MINOR CHILD, BUT THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL FAMILY MEMBERS INVOLVED. ANNA KEPNER, STEPMOTHER, ALSO WANTS THE JUDGE TO REQUIRE ANY FURTHER FILINGS REFERENCING THE MINOR CHILD OR THE PARTIES OF THIS ACTION TO BE SUBMITTED UNDER SEAL. PREVENTING PUBLIC ACCESS TO CERTAIN PUBLIC RECORDS. THE DOCUMENT ALSO WANTS TO PROHIBIT EITHER PARTY FROM DISCUSSING, DISCLOSING, OR EVEN POSTING ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FAMILY AND COURT PROCEEDINGS UNT\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
