FBI Investigates Possible Crime in International Waters Following Florida Teen’s Death on Carnival Cruise

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched an investigation into the death of 16-year-old Anna Kepner, who died while aboard a Carnival cruise ship. Former FBI special agent Nicole Parker joined Fox & Friends to address the complexities of the case, particularly the challenges of investigating crimes that occur in international waters.

Authorities are examining whether the death was the result of foul play, as the incident occurred on a vessel that operated in international waters. The FBI’s involvement underscores the difficulties of jurisdiction and legal processes when incidents occur outside the territorial waters of any single nation. Parker’s insights into the agency’s protocols and international cooperation mechanisms are significant in understanding how such cases are handled.
