Shauntel Hudson sits at the center of the Anna Kepner case in a position no one can fully comprehend. She is the biological mother of Timothy Hudson, the sixteen-year-old charged as an adult with first-degree murder in Anna's death. She is the stepmother of Anna Kepner, the eighteen-year-old who was killed. And she shares a home and a marriage with Anna's father, Christopher Kepner. Court filings from the custody battle between Shauntel and her ex-husband Thomas Hudson paint a picture of a mother who went from telling her son's father “I told him you and I love him” in the first forty-eight hours to allegedly wanting Timothy “buried” within weeks. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings more than three decades of forensic mental health and family crisis expertise to Hidden Killers Live for an analysis of what's happening inside this family. Scott examines whether Shauntel's reversal reflects genuine psychological processing of what allegedly happened or whether it's a survival calculation — an assessment of what standing by her son would cost her marriage, her household, and her position. She addresses whether Christopher Kepner's public statements calling Timothy a danger to the public may be functioning as an unspoken condition Shauntel has to meet. And she examines what this environment is doing to Timothy — a teenager under GPS monitoring, living with an uncle, watching the parent who raised him publicly align against him while facing the possibility of life in federal prison.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alexis Von Yates, a stepmother from the United States, faced serious criminal charges involving the prolonged abuse of her young stepson. Authorities alleged a sustained pattern of mistreatment carried out within the family home, a setting where the child had no means of escape and no immediate protection. The case drew significant public attention once details began to emerge through the legal process.Investigators built a case relying heavily on witness accounts, medical documentation, and the testimony of those close to the family. The evidence presented a troubling picture of a child left vulnerable within a household that was meant to provide safety. Prosecutors moved forward with multiple charges reflecting the severity and duration of the alleged conduct.Alexis Von Yates ultimately entered a guilty plea as part of a negotiated agreement with prosecutors. The plea deal, as is common in cases of this nature, resolved the matter without a full trial while still resulting in a criminal conviction on record. Sentencing followed the terms established through the agreement between defense and prosecution.The case raises broader questions about the systems meant to protect children inside the home, including how abuse of this nature can go undetected for extended periods. It also opens a wider conversation about how plea agreements in child abuse cases are structured and whether the outcomes adequately reflect the harm done to survivors.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases examining real investigations and the justice system.

A Cosmic Comedy of Questionable ChoicesWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Robert Fata to dive into the 1988 sci-fi rom-com My Stepmother is an Alien, starring Kim Basinger, Dan Aykroyd, and a scene-stealing debut from Alyson Hannigan. When scientist Steve Mills accidentally sends a signal to another galaxy, he inadvertently attracts the attention of gorgeous extraterrestrial Celeste, who arrives on Earth with a mission—and a magical purse named Bag. What follows is a whirlwind of awkward romance, questionable parenting, and enough '80s excess to power a small planet.The trio explores how this film—written by approximately everyone in Hollywood—manages to be simultaneously charming and deeply uncomfortable. Robert, who loved the movie as a child, confronts it with adult eyes and discovers layers of subtext he definitely wasn't picking up on at age seven. Kim Basinger's committed performance shines as she navigates everything from eating cigarette butts at parties to learning about intimacy through instructional videos provided by her alien AI companion. Meanwhile, Dan Aykroyd plays a widowed scientist who somehow seems less concerned about his daughter's emotional wellbeing than about getting remarried within 48 hours of meeting someone.The conversation delves into the film's bizarre pacing, where a three-day romance feels like both a lifetime and five minutes simultaneously. They discuss Alyson Hannigan's powerhouse crying scenes, John Lovitz's relentless commitment to being turned up to 300%, and the film's curious decision to spend entire minutes on sequences that could have been trimmed while rushing through major plot points.The hosts also grapple with how this movie might be viewed through a modern lens—particularly its treatment of relationships, consent, and the uncomfortably enthusiastic daughter who tracks her father's romantic activity like a sports statistician.Additional Highlights:The scientific accuracy (or lack thereof) of brass buttons creating intergalactic signalsKim Basinger's inexplicable obsession with Jimmy Durante as the pinnacle of human achievementWhy pre-pubescent Seth Green was already fully formed Seth GreenThe film's journey from a pitch about "a dark allegory for child abuse" to... whatever this becameRobert's ratings: 10/10 as a child, 6.5/10 as an adult; Nathan's more critical 4.5/10; Krissy agrees with the 6.5Ultimately, the hosts land on My Stepmother is an Alien being an enjoyable, if deeply flawed, time capsule of '80s comedy excess. It's a film that asks the important questions like "What if rom-coms were made exclusively by and for men?" and "How many writers does it take to make a box office bomb?" The answer to both: probably too many.Deep Cut Recommendations: The hosts share their picks for films that echo themes from My Stepmother is an Alien—from the disturbing art film Under the Skin to the Mike Myers comedy So I Married an Axe Murderer, plus the late '80s TV gem Out of This World.Want more?

The tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship has now escalated into a deeply complex FBI investigation, and newly uncovered court documents are shedding dramatic new light on the case. What began as a heartbreaking loss during a family vacation has quickly turned into a potential homicide inquiry involving a juvenile suspect, a custody battle, and allegations from Anna's own relatives that she was murdered—not the victim of an accident or overdose. This breaking true crime story unfolds against the backdrop of a cruise ship returning to Miami, where FBI agents immediately boarded to secure the scene, interview passengers, and preserve evidence. According to the timeline, Anna was found unresponsive by a maid and pronounced dead just minutes later by the medical examiner. But the most shocking development comes from a recently filed court document in which Anna's stepmother, Chantel Hudson, requested a delay in her custody hearing. Her reasoning: one of her minor children may face criminal charges connected to the ongoing federal investigation. This statement, coming directly from sworn records, supports what Anna's grandmother and uncle have been saying since the beginning—that Anna did not die by accident. Their claims suggest she suffered a violent death aboard the ship, one involving disturbing details that point toward foul play. The FBI's involvement, and the mention of a minor as a potential suspect, has triggered a slower process while federal authorities determine whether the juvenile should be charged as an adult or if the case will be handed to Miami-Dade prosecutors. As investigators work through witness statements, cruise ship logs, and forensic evidence, the case continues to gain national attention. Anna Kepner was a high-achieving Florida teen preparing for graduation and a future in the military. Her sudden death on what was meant to be a celebratory holiday trip has sent shockwaves through her community and ignited urgent questions about cruise ship safety, FBI procedures, and the fate of the juvenile at the center of this unfolding investigation. #truecrime #breakingnews #AnnaKepner #FBIinvestigation #CarnivalHorizon #justiceforAnna #crimescene #newsupdate #murderinvestigation #juvenilecrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Step-mother of the year? That crown now belongs to Ghislaine Maxwell, apparently. Imagine the bedtime stories: instead of fairy tales, you get lessons on how to dodge subpoenas, deny everything, and cozy up to billionaires with private islands. The kids get “heartbroken” when she's hauled off in cuffs, but hey — not every family gets to say their step-mom's bail was priced like a small sports franchiseAnd let's not forget the role model factor. Most step-parents struggle to win over their partner's kids, but Ghislaine? She shows them that if you play your cards right, you too can end up in prison orange with a $30 million price tag dangling over your head. That's a life lesson money can't buy — though in her case, apparently, they're going to try.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13455252/ghislaine-maxwells-stepkids-heartbroken-husband-prepares-30m-bail/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Listener Week continues on Woman's Hour as we bring your stories, ideas and the issues you want to hear about to the air.What happens when a woman earns more than her partner, or is the sole earner in a household? For some couples, it's a practical arrangement that works well. For others, it can bring unexpected tensions, challenging traditional ideas about gender, identity and power. Listener Karla emailed the programme to say that she wanted to talk about what it means to be a female breadwinner. She joins Anita Rani along with Melissa Hogenboom, author of the book Breadwinners.Lynne got in touch with the show to share her experience of being a stepmother and ask why people question the validity of her role and other her. Lynne explains that her bonds with her partner and her stepdaughter are incredibly strong, but expresses confusion and anxiety at how people react to her being a stepmum. Lynne talks to Anita and Professor Lisa Doodson, a chartered psychologist, author and stepmother herself, who has carried out research into this topic.After our recent series about women and gaming, listener Jacqueline got in touch to say, 'I use games to 'check out' of life and to cope with an overwhelming amount of stuff that I need to manage. The games are an escape, but all those issues just come rushing back afterwards. I don't know where to turn for help.' Jacqueline joins Anita to share her experience, alongside consultant psychiatrist Professor Henrietta Bowden-Jones, founder and Director of the National Centre for Gaming Disorders.Last weekend Laura Hollywood was crowned Europe's Strongest Woman at the Official Strongman European Championship. We heard about her achievements from her friend Helen, who is a Woman's Hour listener. As well as being a ‘strong-woman', Laura is also a strength coach, supporting women through the perimenopause, helping them to embrace their strength, enhance their performance, and build their best self. Laura joins Anita to explain what it take to become a ‘strong woman'.Mary-Havana Little is a traditional fibrous plasterer. She got in touch for Listener Week to suggest we talk about traditional crafts. Mary is one of the few women in the plastering world, working to create ornate decorative mouldings using techniques from hundreds of years ago. She joins Anita to speak about working in this male-dominated craft, and why she wants to inspire more women and girls into the industry.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

Alexis grew up in the shadows of neglect and abuse, with a stepmother whose control didn't end when she left home at 17. Even from a distance, the stalking and manipulation continued — a relentless effort to keep Alexis under her thumb. But Alexis fought back in the quietest, most powerful way: by healing. Through somatic therapy and EMDR, she's learning to calm her nervous system, reclaim her sense of safety, and rebuild trust in herself. Her journey hasn't been easy — but it's given her a sharp clarity. She now recognizes the red flags, holds her boundaries, and protects the peace she fought so hard to find. Today, Alexis is here to share her story — not just to speak her truth, but to let others know they're not alone.**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence.

When a detective's daughter vanished in 1930s Denver, it looked like a kidnapping — but what unfolded behind closed doors was a domestic nightmare involving poison, deception, and a stepmother with a deadly secret.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateDISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only.

A 32-year-old man was recently found to be held captive for two decades when firefighters were called to house fire.
