She will be eligible for parole in early 2034 after serving eight years of her 10-year sentence for killing her newborn after giving birth Snelling was also sentenced to one year each on charges of abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of a child. The former beauty queen, cheerleader and member of the University of Kentucky STUNT squad is being held at the Fayette County Detention Center in Lexington, where she is likely awaiting assignment to a state prison. Her new residence is just four miles northwest of the off-campus home that officers with the Lexington Police Department (LPD) were dispatched to on the morning of Aug. 27, 2025. Snelling lived at the residence at the time, and it was her concerned roommates who called police after finding blood in her bedroom and hearing strange noises coming from her area of the house while they slept, according to a copy of the arrest report. Authorities began to investigate the scene and found a trash bag inside Snelling’s bedroom closet that contained a deceased newborn wrapped in a towel. An autopsy would later determine the infant’s cause of death to be “asphyxia by undetermined means.” #TrueCrime #courtcase #sentences #lakensnelling #trial - @sentences_ontiktok
