Part 2/8:
Heather Wright, Anna's biological mother, has spoken out publicly for the first time following the investigation's escalation. Estranged from her daughter for several years, Wright expressed her frustration and confusion over the events leading up to Anna's death. In an interview with Fox News Digital, she criticized her ex-husband, Chris Keaptainner, Anna's father, for allegedly painting her as a villain. Wright claims she was forbidden from attending her daughter's memorial service, with her ex threatening to have her arrested over unpaid child support.
"Why am I the bad guy?" Wright lamented, emphasizing her belief that her ex-husband was responsible for placing Anna in dangerous situations, including sharing a cabin with her stepbrother—who is now suspected of her murder.
