Laken Snelling, a junior at the University of Kentucky and a three-year member of the STUNT team, has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of an infant. The incident occurred at her home on August 27, 2023, at approximately 10:30 a.m.
According to reports, the infant was found wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag. The trash bag, it was revealed, had been previously used by Snelling for cleaning purposes. The infant was pronounced dead at the scene.
Snelling has been charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant. She was initially reported to the police by officers and has since been released on bond, currently under the custody of her parents.
The Fayette County Coroner's office will release the infant's cause of death at a later date. Snelling is currently being held at the Fayette County Detention Center, and her lawyer in the criminal trial has not been publicly disclosed.
