The father of an 18-year-old cheerleader who was found dead aboard a Carnival cruise ship says his stepson should be punished if investigators determine he played a role in her death.

Christopher Kepner said his 16-year-old stepson had always seemed like “a normal kid” and that he remains in shock over his daughter’s killing.

Anna, 18, was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon on Nov. 7 during a family vacation with her father, stepmother, grandparents and several siblings. She was discovered wrapped in a blanket and covered in life jackets in a room she shared with her stepbrother.

“I want him to face the consequences … I will be fighting to make sure that does happen,” Kepner told People.
