Final hantavirus quarantine ends in Nebraska as Hondius outbreak clears

The last eight American passengers remaining in a Nebraska quarantine unit have left the National Quarantine Unit in Omaha, concluding a 42-day monitoring period after exposure to hantavirus on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius. More than 120 people were evacuated from the Hondius, including 18 Americans who were quarantined in Omaha, with 13 hantavirus cases identified on the ship and three deaths overall. Some passengers had left earlier under monitoring agreements; Angela Perryman said Florida officials forced her to stay, calling the quarantine a political stunt. None of the Americans in quarantine developed hantavirus, and government flights home were funded as passengers were released.

Cruise-Ship Murder Case: Teen Surrenders, Faces Adult Charges

Timothy Hudson, 16, surrendered to federal marshals after a judge revoked his pretrial release, now facing first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse as an adult in the death of his 18-year-old stepsister Anna Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon. Kepner’s death, ruled mechanical asphyxia, followed alleged pinning and sexual assault on the ship in November, with the case in federal court because it occurred in international waters. Hudson will be held in a designated juvenile facility while proceedings continue, as prosecutors argue detention is necessary due to safety concerns and potential life imprisonment, while the defense notes he has complied with release conditions.
