Anna Kepner murder: 16-year-old stepbrother charged with murder of Florida teen during family cruise trip

Anna Kepner murder: 16-year-old stepbrother charged with murder of Florida teen during family cruise trip

Anna Kepner was an 18-year-old student from Titusville, Florida, who died during a family trip in 2025, leading to a federal murder case involving her 16-year-old half-brother.Kepner was a high school senior at the time of her death. She was known to be active in school activities, including cheerleading, and was making plans for her future after graduation. Family members described him as close to his siblings and looking forward to the next phase of his life.He died in November 2025 while traveling with family members on a cruise ship operated by Carnival Cruise Line. The trip was supposed to be for a holiday, but it turned into a criminal investigation after she was reported missing on board the ship.Her body was later found inside the cabin she shared with her half-brother and another brother. She was hiding under a bed. A medical examination revealed that the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation.Since the incident occurred on a cruise ship, the case falls under US federal jurisdiction. Federal authorities, including the FBI, took over the investigation. Initial details were limited, but court filings revealed the sequence of events and the charges.Investigators identified his 16-year-old stepbrother as the prime suspect. His name has not been released publicly due to his age. He was later arrested and charged in connection with Kepner’s death.In 2026, a federal grand jury formally indicted him on charges including murder and aggravated sexual assault. Prosecutors are trying to try him as an adult. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to life imprisonment.The case has attracted attention due to the circumstances surrounding the death, including that the death occurred in a family environment and on a cruise ship. It has also raised questions about how serious crimes involving minors are handled in the federal system.

Florida man arrested for showing a cop deepfake AI video of people vandalizing a police car; Held on $7,000 bond

Florida man arrested for showing a cop deepfake AI video of people vandalizing a police car; Held on $7,000 bond

A Florida man has been arrested after trying to trick a police officer with a fake AI-generated video showing a patrol car being vandalized.Authorities say 25-year-old Alexis Martinez-Arizala approached a deputy inside an Academy Sports store in Lake Mary and claimed that several people were breaking into the officer’s marked vehicle outside.To support his claim, he showed a short video on his phone showing the suspects entering the patrol car. However, when the deputy went out to investigate, there was no sign of any damage or theft.According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, investigators later reviewed store surveillance footage and confirmed that no one had gone near the vehicle. The video was believed to be an AI-generated deepfake created to fake the incident.The false claim nevertheless triggered an actual emergency response, with deputies treating the situation as an active break-in.Police said Martínez-Arizala made the video in an attempt to gain attention online. He has approximately 220,000 followers on TikTok and regularly posts content related to AI-based pranks. He had earlier also uploaded at least two similar videos targeting police officers.He was later tracked down and arrested in Puerto Rico. He is expected to be extradited back to Seminole County, where he will be held on a $7,000 bond, authorities said.He now faces multiple charges, including fabricating evidence, making a false report to law enforcement and providing false information about a crime.Sheriff Dennis Lemma said this is a gross misuse of artificial intelligence: “The misuse of artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos is a growing concern, especially when it targets public safety professionals.”He added, “These fabricated videos can damage reputations, create unnecessary stress, and create real safety concerns for first responders serving our communities. As this technology becomes more accessible, we take these types of crimes seriously and will take action to protect those targeted in our community, including both private citizens and public safety professionals who work every day to keep our residents safe.In Canada, YouTuber Faiq Ayoub was arrested after yelling “gun” in a crowded cinema, while TikToker Heston James is facing up to nine years in prison for a series of disruptive pranks in Arizona.

SRH vs RR, IPL 2026: Debutant Prafulla Hinge, Ishan Kishan stun RR as SRH’s young bet hits jackpot

Brief Scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad (216/6 in 20 overs) beat Rajasthan Royals (159/10 in 19 overs) by 57 runs in Hyderabad on Monday. highlighted | Achievement:

Sunrisers Hyderabad finally get the spark they were looking for IPL 2026, and this came through a bold change in approach. Moving away from established names and favoring youth, Hyderabad’s gamble paid off strongly as they defeated Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal on Monday, April 13.

For a team that had struggled to find rhythm at the beginning of the season, this performance felt like a reset. The biggest concern in the match was SRH’s bowling. The experienced pair of Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel failed to make a consistent impact, forcing the management to turn to uncapped options Prafulla Hinge and Saqib Hussain.

It was a call that defined the game.

Hinge ignites SRH surge

The rhythm was set in the first over itself. Prafulla Hinge, making his IPL debut, created such magic that the match immediately tilted in favor of Hyderabad.

Rajasthan never recovered from the initial loss. Vaibhav Suryavanshi learned that with great power comes great responsibility, but that night he forgot it and had to pay the price. The opening wicket opened the door and the hinges came right off.

Soon after, Dhruv Jurel was out, followed by Luan Dray Pretorius as Hinge dismantled the top order in his very first over. Rajasthan was stunned at 1 run for 3 wickets and did not even have time to recover.

Hinge’s influence did not end here. He later returned to dismiss captain Riyan Parag, caught in the deep off a loose shot, and took 4 for 34. It was a performance based on discipline, clarity and composure rather than temperament, and one that immediately vindicated SRH’s decision to rely on youth.

Saqib Hussain sealed the deal

If Hinge broke the backbone of the innings, Saqib Hussain ensured there was no recovery.

He struck early to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal and then made a comeback at crucial moments to put Rajasthan under pressure. His ability to vary the pace and hit the right length proved effective on a surface that provided ample support.

There was a brief fightback from Donovan Ferreira, who responded with 69 off 44 balls to try and drag Rajasthan back into the contest. However, Shakib reduced that resistance with a well-executed off cutter that troubled the stumps at a crucial moment.

Once Ferreira fell, the innings quickly unraveled. Shakib cleaned up the lower order, which also included the wickets of Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi, finishing with impressive figures of 4 for 24.

Rajasthan were eventually all out for 159 in 19 overs, reflecting an early collapse as well as an inability to build a sustained partnership.

Ishan Kishan is leading

Earlier, it was Ishan Kishan who laid the foundation of SRH’s victory by playing a brilliant innings at the top.

Kishan took charge of the innings after early setbacks with the cheap dismissals of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. He balanced caution with aggression, ensuring stability before accelerating once set.

His innings of 91 off 44 balls, which included eight fours and six sixes, set the tone for SRH’s total. He was supported by Heinrich Klaasen, who added 40 runs, while Nitish Reddy and Salil Arora contributed 28 and 24 not out off 13 balls respectively.

SRH eventually scored 216 for 6 in 20 overs, which proved to be more than enough considering the way their bowlers responded.

Kishan’s influence extended beyond his batting. He remained actively involved as a leader, handing over the responsibility of wicketkeeping to Salil Arora and staying close to his bowlers throughout the innings. His approach helped create a positive environment that allowed the young attack to perform with confidence.

What’s next for both teams?

This victory can prove to be a turning point for Sunrisers Hyderabad. After a slow start, they now have a blueprint to rely on and support the youth with intent. They would like to maintain this momentum in their next match against Chennai Super Kings.

For Rajasthan Royals, it was a rare off day in an otherwise strong campaign. They will look to regroup quickly and overcome shortcomings as they prepare to face Kolkata Knight Riders in their next encounter.

Vikram’s ‘hop’ exposed surface ‘layers’ near the Moon’s south pole region. india news

Vikram's 'hop' exposes surface 'layers' near Moon's south pole region

Bengaluru: When Vikram, India’s moon lander, briefly flew by and returned to the Moon in 2023, it was a small but significant moment in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Now, that short “hop,” which lasted about 3 minutes, is helping scientists piece together what lies just beneath the lunar surface, with very precise measurements.The maneuver performed at the end of the mission moved the lander by about half a meter, giving researchers a rare opportunity to study a nearby piece of untouched land and compare it with the original landing location.Once the lander was stable, a temperature probe called ChaSTE (Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment), a key instrument on the lander, was pushed into the soil again. This time, only five of its ten sensors managed to penetrate the ground, as the new location was on a slightly steeper slope, within a small crater. Nevertheless, it recorded how heat moved through the ground during a brief period before sunset – about one lunar hour of observation, with some gaps due to mission constraints.The findings come from a study led by K Durga Prasad at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), published in The Astrophysical Journal.The results show that the Moon’s surface is not uniform. Instead, it is made up of layers that behave differently. The top few centimeters form a layer that conducts heat more easily, while the material beneath is less conductive. This layered structure changes how the surface heats up during the day and cools down as night falls.Hop also changed the land itself. When Vikram fired its engines, the force appeared to cause about 3 cm of topsoil to blow away, exposing the denser material below. In fact, the lander inadvertently “dug” into the surface without using any drills. Interestingly, such local disturbances over distances of just over half a meter were unexpected – soil properties are generally uniform over such short distances.This revealed another key feature. Soil becomes more dense with depth. Near the surface, it is loose and porous, but within just a few centimeters, it becomes denser and more tightly packed. Such variations can affect how stable the ground is for landers and rovers. These measurements also differ significantly from those found at equatorial sites decades earlier by the Apollo and Surveyor missions, showing that the polar region has its own distinct character.The investigation also detected changes in temperature during twilight. As sunlight diminished, the land became steadily cooler before the temperature dropped rapidly. The upper layers react faster than the lower layers, again pointing to differences in composition.These findings have implications beyond this single experiment. The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located in the south polar region of the Moon, an area of ​​interest because it may contain frozen water. Understanding how heat moves through soil can help scientists predict where such ice might survive and remain stable.The study also shows how sensitive the moon’s surface is. Even a brief firing of the engine changed the top layer enough to expose what lay beneath. Future missions, especially those aimed at collecting samples or building infrastructure, will need to take such impacts into account.In the end, the jump, which lasted about three minutes, has produced a clear picture of the moon’s surface, showing that even small movements can provide valuable scientific clues.

Alia Bhatt says her 3-year-old daughter Raha already has a fear of failure; 'Am I a good mother?' Sadhguru's advice makes him laugh
Alia Bhatt has opened up about motherhood, fears and parenting, revealing that she often questions herself as a parent while raising her daughter Raha. In a candid conversation with Sadhguru on his YouTube channel, the actor shared his concerns, as well as sought advice about raising children in today’s world.

Alia Bhatt Speaking candidly about motherhood, fears and parenting, she revealed that she often questions herself as a parent while raising her daughter Raha. In a candid conversation with Sadhguru on his YouTube channel, the actor shared his concerns, as well as sought advice about raising children in today’s world.“I’m the mother of a three-and-a-half-year-old boy and he’s the joy of my life. But I’m worried all the time. My father once asked me what it’s like to be a mother, and I said it’s a combination of joy and worry. I’m constantly thinking – am I a good mother? Am I saying the right things?” He said.

‘Children learn life from you’

Alia asked for guidance, “What advice would you give me or any parent today, because babies are so beautiful, curious, and they learn life through you in the first few years?”Sadhguru responded with humor by asking, “What if the parents are not good parents?” – Due to which the actor got nervous.“I don’t think you can take the worry out of it. You have to admit,” Alia said.

‘Who should be the advisor for life?’

Sharing his perspective, Sadhguru said, “When you have a child, the first thing you do is give up the idea that you have to teach them something.”As the conversation turned to Raha, she asked, “Between you and your three-and-a-half-year-old child—what’s his name?”“Raha,” Aaliya replied.“Between you and him, who is happier?” he asked. “That,” Aaliya replied.“Then who should be the advisor for life?” He continued. “That,” Alia smiled, when Sadhguru concluded, “then what do you have to teach? You must see, listen and observe a child – they are much closer to life than you are.”

‘He is also afraid of failure’

Alia also talked about the fear of failure and revealed that her younger daughter also already shows signs of it.“We are all afraid of failure. Even now, as my daughter is growing up, she always wants to win. If someone else comes first, she will say they cheated. I told him – no, they came first,” he said. There were also light moments in the conversation, with Sadhguru jokingly saying, “I’ll cry on your shoulder,” to which Alia laughed and said, “Please do, I think it’s very healthy to cry.”When he disagreed, she jokingly said, “Oh no, please don’t tell me that!”Alia and her husband Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha in 2022.

Indian student missing in US since 2019: FBI’s social media post on Mayushi Bhagat creates confusion

2019 से अमेरिका में लापता भारतीय छात्र: मयूशी भगत पर एफबीआई की सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट से भ्रम की स्थिति पैदा हो गई है

The FBI’s social media post of a reward of up to $10,000 for any information leading to the ‘recapture’ of Mayushi Bhagat has created confusion as the Indian student has been missing since 2019. And the reward amount is also not new but the same which was announced earlier by the agency. There has been no update on the case and the agency has posted the same old information about Bhagat that he was last seen leaving his apartment in New Jersey on the evening of April 29, 2019. “She was last seen wearing colored pajama pants and a black T-shirt. Bhagat’s family reported her missing on May 1, 2019. She was studying at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) in New York City and was in the United States on an F1 student visa,” the FBI said. According to reports at the time when Mayushi went missing, her father Vikas Bhagat had filed a missing report on May 3, 2019, after she did not return home. Vikas told the police that his last WhatsApp chat with Mayushi was around 3 am on May 1, where she had said that she was fine, but she would not return home till May 3. The language of the message raised suspicion as Vikas told the police that the message was written in broken English, but Mayushi was fluent in English. He suspected that the message had been sent by someone who had his cellphone at that time. The FBI post caused confusion as many social media users thought the agency had started the investigation in 2026. The reality is that the FBI’s social media handles had posted the same update several times in the last 7 years. One wrote, “She was missing in 2019 and was posting just 1 hour ago..?? Why?? Your department is not competent and not working fully.” “It’s been seven years and she’s still missing…I hope she’s alive physically and mentally and is found soon!!!” Another wrote. “How did America become a superpower when it couldn’t find anyone missing since 2019?”. A third user wrote. Another commented, “A superpower country can’t protect its citizens and tourists. This country is so dirty….” “Did you guys find out that she was missing for the last seven years?” Another wrote.

Wife reneges on promise of divorce with consent, SC invokes Article 142 to grant divorce. india news

Wife reneges on promise of divorce with consent, SC uses Article 142 to grant divorce

New Delhi: In a classic case of how court proceedings are misused in matrimonial disputes – a woman agreed to a divorce and signed a financial settlement for separation, but after receiving a huge chunk of money from her husband, she not only reneged on the promise, but also filed a criminal case against him and his family members. Supreme Court On Monday, it used its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 to dissolve the marriage and also quashed the domestic violence case, ignoring her protest.Although the wife said she withdrew her consent because the husband did not return her jewelery worth Rs 120 crore and gold biscuits worth Rs 50 crore, which were not mentioned in the agreement so as to “avoid alerting the Income Tax Department”, a bench of Justices Rajesh Bindal and Vijay Bishnoi refused to give credence to her allegation by observing that the issue was not mentioned anywhere, including in the WhatsApp chats between the estranged couple.The court said that if any settlement deed or compromise agreement has been entered into between the parties with respect to the complete and final settlement of their disputes, then in that case it is not open to the party to deviate from the terms and conditions agreed upon between them. As per the agreement, the husband had paid her Rs 75 lakh as first installment and Rs 14 lakh to buy the car and also returned the jewelery mentioned in the agreement.“It is common law that once the parties have entered into a settlement agreement, which has been duly certified by the arbitrator, in case of any flexibility from the terms agreed in the agreement, the opposing party will have to bear the burden of heavy costs. Any deviation from the terms of the agreement arrived at in mediation and subsequently confirmed by the Court must be dealt with strictly as such deviation attacks the very foundation of the entire process of arbitration,” the bench said.Referring to the wife’s claim regarding gold worth Rs 170 crore that she had agreed to exclude these terms from the settlement agreement only at the instance of the husband in order to alert the Income Tax Department and avoid any liability towards wealth tax, the court termed her arguments as “extremely serious”. “We are appalled by the audacity to appear before the court and condemn the clear disregard for the legal system displayed,” it said.The court said that she failed to mention any specific incident of violence committed by the husband or his mother to justify her criminal case and said that the case was registered only after she had withdrawn her consent for mutual divorce. “A criminal complaint regarding domestic violence merely mentioning the names of the family members or the husband without any specific allegation, pointing to their active participation in such act of violence, will be quashed at the outset,” the bench said.“While we are conscious of the fact that the parties to a long-standing matrimonial dispute are often driven by emotions, we cannot allow such emotions to take such a big form as to permit outbursts of emotions to form the basis of criminal prosecution. If such criminal prosecution is allowed, it will lead to abuse of law and oppression.”The court dissolved the marriage and directed the husband to pay the final installment of Rs 70 lakh and also quashed all civil and criminal cases filed by the couple against each other. The court accepted the plea of ​​the husband, who had approached the court through his lawyer Prabhjeet Johar for divorce.
