About this listen

 The death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner is not just another tragic case — it’s a collision of panic, secrecy, and a blended family imploding in real time. Found hidden under a bed on a cruise ship, wrapped and concealed, Anna’s final moments are surrounded by unanswered questions and emotionally charged reactions from nearly every member of her family.

Tonight on Hidden Killers, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to cut through the noise and focus on the behavioral reality inside that small cabin. Because cases like this aren’t just about evidence — they’re about human choices under pressure.

We look at the concealment:
Why was Anna hidden?
What does that typically signal in juvenile behavior?
Where is the line between immaturity-driven panic and intentional wrongdoing?

We examine the claim from the grandmother that the 16-year-old “doesn’t remember what happened.”
Is that trauma? Dissociation? Avoidance?
Or something investigators hear when the truth is too overwhelming to say out loud?

We explore what happens when adults make catastrophic decisions — like placing teenagers with known tension in the same sleeping quarters — and how that shapes what happens next.

And then there’s the public chaos: the stepmother pleading the Fifth, the biological mother spiraling on social media, relatives accusing each other, all while a teen girl is gone. Robin breaks down how investigators filter useful behavior from emotional theater and why public performance can sometimes be a clue in itself.

This is the interview that strips away the speculation and digs into the actual human behavior behind the headlines.

If you want clarity instead of noise, depth instead of rumor — you’re in the right place.
