University of Kentucky Cheerleader Laken Snelling Arrested for Concealing Dead Infant’s Birth
I’m Riley Carter, and I’m here to spill the tea on a shocking story that’s got everyone talking. A competitive cheerleader at the University of Kentucky has been arrested and charged with concealing the birth of an infant, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse after a dead baby was found in a closet.
Laken Snelling, 21, was taken into custody on Sunday and is facing serious charges after police discovered the body of a newborn infant wrapped in a towel and placed inside a black trash bag in a closet. According to the Lexington Police Department, Snelling admitted to being the child’s mother and told officers that she had concealed the birth by cleaning up any evidence and placing the infant, along with cleaning supplies, in the trash bag.
The Fayette County Coroner’s Office will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the infant’s death. Snelling was booked at the Fayette County Detention Center and posted a $100,000 bond, after which she was released on home incarceration without an ankle monitor.
What’s even more surprising is that Snelling is listed on the University of Kentucky’s STUNT team, a competitive cheerleading program. It’s unclear how this will affect her future with the team or her studies.
The incident occurred when police were dispatched to a residence near the UK campus on Wednesday morning after receiving a call about a deceased infant found in a closet. When officers arrived, they pronounced the infant dead at the scene.
As the investigation unfolds, many questions remain unanswered. How did Snelling manage to conceal the birth of her child? What led her to dispose of the infant’s body in such a horrific manner? And what will happen to her now that she’s facing serious charges?
The University of Kentucky has yet to comment on the incident or Snelling’s status with the cheerleading team. One thing is certain, however: this shocking story has left many people stunned and wondering how something like this could happen.
The case is ongoing, and more information is expected to come to light as the investigation continues. For now, Snelling’s future is uncertain, and the community is left to grapple with the disturbing details of this case.
In a bizarre twist, Snelling’s arrest has raised questions about the pressures and challenges faced by college students, particularly those involved in competitive sports programs. While it’s too early to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the infant’s death, one thing is clear: this story is a sobering reminder of the complexities and struggles that many young people face.
As the story continues to unfold, one thing is certain: we’ll be keeping a close eye on developments and providing updates as more information becomes available.
Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
