In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice. Richard Beasley was convicted of murdering three men and attempting to kill a fourth in the fall of 2011, but before that heinous spree, authorities were building a human trafficking case against him.

In this episode, we take a brutally honest look at the now-viral TikTok posted by the biological mother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner — the teen found dead and concealed under a bed aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship.
What should have been a grieving mother’s message somehow turned into a thirteen-minute monologue about everything but Anna.
Excuses.
Grievances.
Old resentments.
Contradictions.
Life stories.
Dental detours.
Accusations.
Chaos.
And almost nothing about the daughter she lost.
Tonight, I break it down section by section — with timestamps — stopping at the points where the emotional wheels fly off and the video reveals far more about the environment Anna came from than the mother ever intended.
This isn’t mockery.
This isn’t cruelty.
This is context — because the instability, bitterness, and self-centered chaos on full display here help explain so much about the world Anna grew up in.
Meanwhile, investigators are focused on real evidence:
• a body concealed under a bed
• keycard logs
• cabin access patterns
• surveillance footage
• a 16-year-old stepsibling publicly named as a suspect
• a stepmother pleading the Fifth
• and a family structure collapsing in real time
This TikTok doesn’t give answers — but it gives a devastating look at the dysfunction that shaped this case from day one.
Watch as we break down the video, analyze each section, and look at what this emotional unraveling tells us about the broader investigation into Anna’s death.
If you want the unfiltered truth behind the headlines — and the family chaos investigators are up against — this is the episode you need to hear.
