Laken Snelling: Grand Jury Adds Manslaughter — The Cover-Up the Evidence Exposed

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has been indicted on first-degree manslaughter in the death of her newborn son, whose body was discovered by her roommates on August 27, 2025, wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag in the closet of her off-campus Lexington apartment. The Kentucky Medical Examiner confirmed the infant was born alive. Cause of death: asphyxia by undetermined means. On March 12, 2026, Snelling was booked into the Fayette County Detention Center. She faces up to 31 years.Tony Brueski of Hidden Killers breaks down the case from the beginning — and the beginning matters. This is not a story that starts at 4 a.m. on August 27th. It starts months earlier, with a full-term pregnancy Snelling concealed from everyone around her while privately tracking it week by week on her phone. It includes a national cheerleading championship performance in April 2025, couples photo shoots in June that observers described as maternity photos, and a final TikTok post listing "be a mom" as a life goal — all while the evidence shows she had no intention of anyone finding out.When investigators executed search warrants on her phone and social media accounts, they found deleted labor photos, pregnancy searches, and documented evidence of a months-long concealment. Her own words to investigators placed her conscious and aware when her son moved and made a sound. The grand jury heard all four levels of criminal homicide. They landed on manslaughter.Hidden Killers covers the full timeline, the phone evidence, the affidavit details, and what the people who knew Snelling long before this say about who she really is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
