HEARTBREAKING UPDATE: Forensic staff examining Anna Kepner’s body have just discovered a series of strange, unexplained wounds that were not mentioned in the initial autopsy report — and investigators say the nature of these marks could completely change the direction of the case.
According to a forensic source, the wounds are thin, irregular lines found along Anna’s arms and upper back, resembling neither cuts nor bruises typically seen in accidental injuries. What makes them especially disturbing is that the marks appear in a pattern, as though caused by something repeatedly dragged or pressed against the skin.
Experts say the wounds were created before Anna entered the water, confirming that they are not the result of rocks, debris, or marine life. Under closer examination, specialists noticed faint traces of metallic residue around the edges of several marks — a detail that has left investigators deeply unsettled.
The preliminary assessment suggests the wounds may have been caused by a narrow, textured object, though forensic teams have not yet identified what it might be. One officer described the injuries as “highly unusual and not consistent with any known boating accident.”
Police are now running tests to determine:
-
What object could leave such unique patterns.
-
When the wounds were inflicted — minutes or possibly hours before the incident.
-
Whether the marks indicate self-defense, restraint, or contact with an unknown item on the boat.
Detectives have already revisited the vessel with additional forensic equipment, searching for anything that matches the residue or wound pattern.
Authorities say these injuries could represent a critical clue, raising new and unsettling questions about Anna’s final moments — and whether someone else was involved.
