Laken Snelling, a STUNT cheerleader at the University of Kentucky, was arrested late last month after law enforcement found a dead infant that was described as having been ‘wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag’. The infant had been stuffed inside a closet in her accommodation, which had been off campus.

Since the body was found, it was determined that Snelling, an Interdisciplinary Disability Studies student from Tennessee, was its biological mother. She also later ‘admitted to giving birth’ when she was questioned.

Snelling has also reportedly confessed to cleaning up the evidence of the brith and discarding the infant in the trash bag, according to her arrest report.

The 21-year-old from White Pine, Tennessee has now been charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and also concealing the birth of an infant, a charge which she has plead not guilty for.

A DNA test is underway to determine the paternity of the infant. Snelling’s ex-boyfriend, Izaiah Hall, is said to be the child’s father, according to new information that has come to light just days after Snelling’s arrest.

Lexington Herald Leader, Kentucky University spokesperson Jay Blanton has confirmed that Snelling has withdrawn from the Lexington-area school as of Friday, last week.
