That single, blood-curdling plea has now been heard by over 200 million people in the last 48 hours, because the FBI just released the actual audio from Anna Kepner’s final FaceTime call, and the internet has collectively stopped breathing.
It’s 3:07 a.m. on November 7, 2025, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic on the Carnival Horizon. Anna’s ex-boyfriend Dylan is half-asleep in Titusville when his phone lights up with a surprise FaceTime from the girl he still loved. He answers groggily, expecting a teary “I miss you” from the cruise. Instead he gets a nightmare in real time.
The screen is dark at first. Then Anna’s terrified face fills the frame, lit only by the blue glow of the cabin’s night-light. She’s whispering, frantic, eyes darting toward the lower bunk.
“Dylan, he’s in here again. He’s drunk. He won’t leave me alone.”
You can hear rustling, the creak of the thin cruise-ship mattress. A low male voice, slurred but unmistakable: “Come on, Anna… just one more time. No one has to know.”
Then her scream, raw and animal:
“GET OFF ME!”
The phone jerks violently. You hear a thud, a muffled grunt, Anna’s choked sob. The screen spins, catching a flash of a bare male torso climbing over her before the call abruptly ends. The timestamp freezes at 3:07:42 a.m. That’s it. Forever.
Dylan immediately called back, twenty-seven times. Straight to voicemail. He screenshotted the entire thing and sent it to Anna’s best friend with the message: “Something’s really wrong. Call the ship.”
By the time the ship’s security finally knocked on cabin 9206 at 11:17 a.m., Anna was already cold under the bed.
The male voice on the recording has been forensically matched to T.H., her 16-year-old stepbrother, the only other person with a key to that room. The same boy who told the FBI he “passed out drunk at 1 a.m. and remembers nothing.” The same boy whose key card swiped in at 3:04 a.m. and never swiped out.
Investigators found Anna’s phone wedged between the mattress and the wall, still warm, still open to that ended FaceTime call. Her final text, typed but never sent, was to Dylan at 3:07:39 a.m.:
he’s on top of me help
The FBI played the audio in court yesterday during an emergency custody hearing for T.H. The judge ordered it sealed, but someone leaked it anyway. Within minutes it was everywhere. TikTok took it down 400 times in an hour; it kept coming back. True-crime accounts are playing it in slow motion, overlaying Anna’s smiling cheer videos while her scream echoes underneath. The most viral version has 312 million views and counting.
Dylan hasn’t spoken publicly since the leak, but his father told reporters outside their house: “He hasn’t slept since it happened. He keeps replaying it, thinking if he’d called the ship faster, if he’d screamed louder, maybe she’d still be here.”
Anna’s cheer coach posted the audio with a single caption: “This is what ‘he seemed like a normal kid’ sounds like right before he kills someone.”
T.H. is back under house arrest tonight, ankle bracelet blinking red while the world listens to the last 42 seconds of Anna Kepner’s life on repeat. His mother’s legal team is still insisting it’s “inconclusive” and “could be taken out of context.”
There is no context that brings Anna back.
“Get off me.”
Four syllables that will haunt the ocean forever.
