Kentucky Cheerleader’s Roommates Found Dead Newborn as She Went to McDonald’s

Laken Snelling‘s roommates grew suspicious when they heard strange noises coming from her room … eventually sneaking in while she went to get food and discovering her dead newborn’s body — according to a report.

LEX18 — a local news outlet in Lexington, Kentucky — cites an affidavit from the Lexington Police Dept. stating Laken’s roommates heard loud noises after they say she gave birth to the baby shortly after 4 AM on August 27.

Cops say Snelling told her roommates around 8:40 AM she’d passed out early in the morning, leading to the loud noises … and, she planned to go see a doctor.

Rather than attending her 9:30 AM class, police say she ordered food from McDonald’s and drove to a university clinic … however, she didn’t go inside — instead returning to her residence, where she was later arrested.

The police say her roommates grew suspicious of Snelling’s story … and decided to go into her room, where they allegedly found a “blood-soaked towel on the floor and a plastic bag containing evidence of childbirth.”

Police reportedly executed a search warrant of Laken’s social media accounts … which uncovered “different things pertaining to pregnancy, images of her during labor, photos of her doing things ordinary pregnant women should not be doing, and a concealed or hidden pregnancy.”

The filed affidavit also states Laken allegedly told medical staff at UK Hospital “the baby made a ‘whimper,’ and that she ‘guessed’ the baby was alive.”
