First Watch: She Went on a Cruise and Never Came Home: Anna Kepner

A Caribbean family vacation turns tragic when 18-year-old Anna Kepner disappears overnight on a Carnival cruise and is later found dead, wrapped in a blanket under a stateroom bed. As her community mourns, new custody filings and leaked details show why investigators are scrutinizing her 16-year-old stepbrother and what her ex-boyfriend says happened before she vanished.

Then, Katie investigates a case In Chicago, where 26-year-old Bethany MaGee is doused in gasoline and set on fire aboard a Blue Line train. Katie breaks down the federal terrorism charge, the surveillance footage, and the alarming record of suspect Lawrence Reed, raising urgent questions about electronic monitoring, bail decisions, and public safety on mass transit.
