A leaked recording from the ship’s emergency hotline has introduced yet another chilling twist in the death of 19-year-old passenger Anna Kepner. According to sources familiar with the investigation, a trembling female voice phoned the vessel’s internal hotline just minutes before communication abruptly dropped — leaving behind only five haunting words.
Investigators have not publicly released the full audio, but multiple officials confirm that the caller whispered: “She’s not breathing… please hurry.”
The call, placed at approximately 2:12 a.m., came just seven minutes before the ship’s monitoring system logged a sudden and unexplained interruption in the hotline’s connection. Technicians later verified that the cut was “not consistent with normal signal loss,” prompting questions about whether the disconnection was accidental — or intentional.
Authorities are now attempting to identify the woman behind the voice. No crew member has acknowledged making the call, and no passengers have yet come forward claiming responsibility. The uncertainty has fueled intense speculation about who discovered Anna first, why the woman spoke in a whisper, and what may have happened in the critical minutes that followed.
A senior investigator described the leak as “deeply troubling,” noting that the timeline suggested someone was aware of Anna’s deteriorating condition before official responders were alerted.
The ship’s operators have declined to comment on the recording, citing the ongoing investigation, but confirmed that all internal lines are being audited and that forensic technicians are analyzing the call’s metadata.
As authorities work to reconstruct the final 20 minutes of Anna Kepner’s life, the mystery surrounding the anonymous caller — and the abrupt end to her plea — has added a new layer of urgency and suspicion to an already complex case.
