“admitted to concealing the birth by cleaning any evidence”
Yikes. This young woman is going to need counseling. And religion.

University of Kentucky athlete arrested after police find dead infant in closet
An athlete at the University of Kentucky was arrested for allegedly hiding a dead infant in her closet to conceal a birth, according to the Lexington Police Department. The baby was found wrapped in a towel and placed inside a trash bag, police said.
Laken Snelling, 21, was arrested Sunday and charged with abusing a corpse, tampering with evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. Court documents indicate Snelling has posted a $100,000 bond and is now on house arrest without an ankle monitor at her parents’ home in Jefferson City, Tennessee.
Snelling appeared in court Tuesday, per NBC News.
Police investigated a residence near Kentucky’s campus last week following a disturbing call, according to arrest documents obtained by LEX18.
The citation indicates Snelling “admitted to giving birth” during an interview with officers. Snelling reportedly “admitted to concealing the birth by cleaning any evidence, placing all cleaning items used inside of a black trash bag, including the infant, who was wrapped in a towel.”
Snelling is a member of Kentucky’s “STUNT” team, which is part of the university’s athletic program. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office is investigating the infant’s cause of death, per NBC News.
In her most recent TikTok post from June, Snelling used an emoji of a woman holding a baby under a list of “goals” that included marriage and a home.

if the normal course is followed
she will be found innocent and a victim of maga
So she’s clearly mentally ill. She definitely needs professional help.

Much less likely now.
So a student athlete bloats up long enough to give birth and… absolutely nobody notices anything amiss?
It is possible to stay moderately trim during a pregnancy, particularly if you eat and exercise in a way that isn’t healthy for the baby. I’m guessing that’s why it was stillborn (or died soon thereafter).
Staying moderately trim then summer break and giving birth before term when school is back in session. Nothing in the stories I’ve read about this indicate the baby was carried to 9 months.

Who is this “we”?
There are multiple photos of her elsewhere. A decent looking young, blond haired blue eyed girl.
“The citation indicates Snelling “admitted to giving birth” during an interview with officers.”
Quite a statement. It’s not every day that officers are present during a delivery. Even rarer that a woman delivers while being interviewed by them.
What a girl!
Playing with English is fun! “I was running low on fuel so I turned into a gas station.”
and it was so stealthy the officers had to make her admit she did it while they were standing there.
