‘Unthinkable’: Roommates Find Infant’s Body While Laken Snelling Eats Big Mac

Upon noticing unusual sounds emanating from Laken Snelling's room, her roommates grew concerned and decided to intervene. They entered the space while she was out procuring food and tragically discovered the lifeless body of her newborn, as reported. An affidavit from the Lexington Police Department recounts that the roommates heard disturbing noises shortly after Laken gave birth around 4 AM on August 27. By 8:40 AM, Snelling explained to them that she had fainted, attributing the noise to that incident and expressed her intention to seek medical attention.Instead of attending her scheduled 9:30 AM class, authorities say she opted for McDonald’s while driving to a nearby clinic but ultimately returned home without seeking help. Her roommates, suspicious of her explanation, reportedly found a blood-stained towel and a plastic bag that contained evidence of childbirth. Investigations into Snelling's social media revealed numerous posts relating to her covert pregnancy and labor experiences.
