A shocking case unfolds as 22-year-old Laken Snelling, a former University of Kentucky student and STUNT team member, pleads guilty to murdering her newborn son—admitting she deprived him of oxygen and later hid the infant’s body in plastic bags. Found by roommates in August 2025, the baby was born alive and died from asphyxia. Snelling initially claimed she thought the child wasn’t breathing, then confessed to passing out on top of him and concealing evidence by bagging his body with towels. Prosecutors seek 10 years for manslaughter plus additional time for related charges, potentially totaling up to 13 years if sentenced consecutively. Sentencing is set for October 16th.
