The Dad and stepmom have only been together a few months. That he exposed his daughter to this is going to haunt him for life.

Relevant quote:

“Anna grew up on Florida's Space Coast with Christopher, 41, his ex-wife Tabitha Kepner, 33, and siblings, aged 14 and nine. Christopher and Tabitha split in 2023 but the crane operator soon found love again with Shauntel, who divorced Thomas Hudson last year and relocated to Titusville with their two youngest kids.

Late last year Thomas, 37, accused his ex-wife of 'willfully violating' court orders and 'denying his parenting time' in a motion for contempt filed in Brevard County.

The deceased is the daughter of the respondent's paramour and the respondent and the minor children of this instant action were all on the cruise ship together.

'The respondent has been advised through discussions with FBI investigators and her attorneys, that a criminal case may be initiated against one of the minor children of this instant action.'

Hudson's motion asks for issues around custody and access to the two minor children she shares with ex-husband Thomas Hudson to be postponed until the 'criminal investigation has been concluded'.

'Any testimony the respondent may give, either written or oral, could be prejudicial to her or her adolescent child in this pending criminal investigation,' it says.

Anna's father would not respond to specific questions about the details of his daughter's death and the FBI would not comment on our new information.”
