18-year-old Anna Kepner ABC News

In a since-deleted social media post, a man who identified himself as Anna Kepner's uncle discussed her mysterious death and details about what might have happened to her.

"I can not stay silent about this matter any longer," the post read. "The step mom son killer her stuffed her naked beaten body in a sheet and stuffed her under a bed and covered her with life jackets."

The post continued, "Then he slept on that bed like nothing happened. He told his mom when no one could find Anna on the ship."

Kepner, 18, was found dead on Friday, Nov. 7, on the Carnival Horizon as it sailed from Miami to the Caribbean. Kepner was vacationing with her family.

The social media post also claims that Anna's father, Chris, is aware of what happened: "So yes they know who did this and it sickens me that the father Chris remains silent about it."

The Daily Mail had also reported some of the details mentioned in the social media post. The newspaper reported that Kepner's body was found by a maid who went to service her room. The outlet, citing two anonymous sources, reported that Kepner's body was found wrapped in a blanket, covered with life jackets, and stuffed under a bed.

Also, NBC News reported that a court filing related to the previous marriage of Kepner's stepmother, Shauntel Hudson, indicated that the FBI was investigating one her sons.

The network reported that the filing states that Hudson "has been advised through discussion with FBI investigators and her attorneys, that a criminal case may be initiated against one of the minor children of this instant action."
