Lexington police discovered a newborn’s body hidden in a trash bag and wrapped in a towel at a Park Avenue home, leading to the arrest of 21-year-old University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling. Authorities say she admitted to giving birth and now faces charges of corpse abuse, evidence tampering, and concealing birth. Snelling, who had been part of the university’s competitive stunt team for three seasons, was taken into custody as the university confirmed her involvement but referred further questions to investigators.
