Anna Kepner is on the Carnival Horizon on a 6-day cruise with her father, stepmother, and other family members.

Feeling sick at dinner, she excuses herself and goes to her cabin. When she doesn't show up for breakfast, the family goes to her cabin, but she is gone. A massive search of the 14-story floating city of 4,000-plus people is conducted without success.

At around 11 a.m., a maid finds Anna wrapped in a sheet, stuffed under a bed, and covered with a life jacket. Dead.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the difficulty of investigating a death at sea on a cruise ship and try to find the truth of what happened to the 18-year-old cheerleader on the trip of a lifetime.
