The federal murder trial for the teenage stepbrother accused in the death of Titusville teenager Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship has been delayed until September. Court records show the 16 year old defendant, identified only as T.H., has pleaded not guilty to murder and aggravated sexual abuse charges after being indicted as an adult. Kepner died aboard the Carnival Horizon in November of last year while the ship was in international waters. Her body was later found hidden beneath a bed in the cabin she shared with two other teens.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
