A 911 call reported a newborn body that was “cold.”

Three days later, authorities arrested Laken Snelling.

Now, a grand jury has indicted the University of Kentucky cheerleader.

She faces multiple charges, including first-degree manslaughter.

Man 1 is a serious charge

On Tuesday, March 10, a grand jury indicted Snelling on charges of first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant.

The childbirth and alleged homicide took place in August 2025.

There was initially some uncertainty over which level of homicide charge the former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader would receive.

However, after the medical examiner determined that Snelling’s newborn was alive at the time that she allegedly stashed the infant in a trash bag in her closet, this information was seemingly enough for the grand jury.

Prosecutor Kimberly Baird explained: “They were given the information about homicide, the four levels of homicide and then deliberated and decided that manslaughter first degree was the charge.”

Snelling is due back in court within the next two-to-three weeks.

As you can see in the video above, she waived ehr right to a preliminary trial in September 2025.

Snelling’s arrest was on August 30 of that year — just three days after someone uncovered a “cold to the touch” infant inside a trash bag within Snelling’s closet.

The ME concluded that the infant’s cause of death was “asphyxia by undetermined means.”

Sometimes, suffocation leaves evidence — fabric debris in the lungs, a pattern or residue over the mouth and nose. Not in this case, it seems.

How did the newborn die?

According to at least one statement that Snelling allegedly made to police, she lost consciousness after giving birth in her room.

She said that she passed out on top of the newborn.

When she awoke, Snelling told police, the infant was “blue and purple.”

She apparently lied down beside the newborn for a time before bundling up everything from the birth — including the baby — and stashing it in the closet.

Snelling allegedly confessed to having heard a “whimper” during the bagging process.

In September 2025, Snelling pleaded not guilty to all of the charges that she is facing.

She was released on a $100,000 bond.

The court required Snelling to live on house arrest.

She is no longer enrolled at the University of Kentucky, where she had been part of the school’s STUNT cheerleading team.

Additionally, she is no longer part of the STUNT team.

Crimes like this are often an indictment of the broader community

Every incident like this is nothing short of a horror.

Infanticide has a long and brutal history. Accidental deaths of infants are also a grim reality — especially for a young woman going through the unthinkable trauma of giving birth alone.

Notably, Kentucky has outlawed nearly all forms of abortion.

If Snelling, who reportedly was unaware that she was pregnant for the majority of her pregnancy, had learned of her pregnancy in time, she would probably have had to travel across state lines — perhaps to Illinois — to exercise her human rights.

Infanticide is not excusable, if that is what happened. But this very much appears to be a no-win situation that society and our nation’s backwards laws forced upon her.

This gives new meaning to “Hide Your Love Away”!

John Lennon and Paul McCartney might be the most beloved and influential songwriting duo in history.

But the relationship between the Beatles’ frontmen was tense at times — and now we know it may have been even more complex than we realized.

In a newly resurfaced interview, McCartney revealed that Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, believed he might have been gay.

“I swear [Ono] rang me shortly after John died and said, ‘You know, I think John might have been gay,’” McCartney told Vanity Fair (via Page Six).

“I went, ‘I’m not sure.’ I said, ‘I don’t think so. Certainly not when I knew him’… because we’d been in the ’60s,” McCartney recalled replying.

“We’d been around with loads and loads of girls. And I bumped into seeing him jacking … a lot of girl action.

“There was never a gesture, never an expression. It was nothing. So I had no reason to believe this at all.”

McCartney says that Ono’s suspicions may have arisen from trips that Lennon took with the Beatles’ gay manager, Brian Epstein.

“But I saw that as a power play, which was very John,” McCartney said.

“Brian would ask him as a homosexual thing – a good-looking boy who Brian fancied. They went down to Spain, had a fun time. No doubt John would play into the thing.

“I personally didn’t think anything had happened. Certainly never heard about anything happening. But I saw it as: ‘You want to deal with the Beatles? I’m the leader.’”

Lennon and Ono’s relationship famously had quite a few ups and downs, including the period between 1973 and 1974, when they separated and Lennon embarked on what he called his “Lost Weekend” in Los Angeles.

Lennon spent the year boozing and carousing with pal Harry Nilsson, and his marriage almost came to an end.

“There was a time when Sir Paul McCartney offered Yoko his willingness to speak to John in Los Angeles about the separation,” the couple’s pal, Elliot Mintz remarked in 2024.

“She seemed grateful for that invitation,” he continued, adding:

“Paul came out here, he had a meeting with John. His advice to him was, ‘You can’t just say that you’ve changed. You have to show it. You have to prove it. It would be like dating her again. You have to bring her flowers, you have to take her out for dinners. You have to show her how important she is to you in your world.’”

Lennon was a famously open-minded and free-spirited man, so it’s not hard to see why his widow believes he might have been open for anything.

But whatever the case, John and Yoko remained married for the rest of his life.

Valerie Bertinelli was shaking and crying uncontrollably in a video that she shared to social media.

In a sense, nothing was wrong. Nothing immediate.

For years, the actor has suffered anxiety attacks that send her body into a state of panic.

This time, she recorded herself shaking — to let followers know that they are not alone.

Valerie Bertinelli shared a video in which she was shaking uncontrollably

Bertinelli took to her Instagram page to share a video of her anxiety attack.

The 65-year-old actor, known for One Day At A Time, Touched By An Angel, Hot In Cleveland, and more, wanted to raise mental health awareness. A lot of people do not know what these sorts of attacks can look like.

“I’ve sat on this post for a day because it’s incredibly vulnerable and that’s always scary to share,” she wrote in the caption.

The video itself showed her hand trembling.

“But I’m posting because we’re all out here doing our best having a human experience,” Valerie Bertinelli wrote alongside her shaking hand. “And,” she continued, “none of us want to feel like we’re alone in that.”

She went on to detail that she had suffered a “really bad anxiety attack.”

This, she explained, had not happened in “a very, very long time.”

Bertinelli shared that she had been “shaking” and “weeping uncontrollably” while her heart “felt like it was pounding out of my chest.”

Anxiety attacks are not new to Valerie Bertinelli

One of the sick twists of this kind of anxiety is that it can seem to go away entirely … until it comes back, catching you by surprise.

“As I’m going through the actual attack […] I almost disassociate and am focused solely on calming down and finding any road to a more relaxed and peaceful body,” Valerie Bertinelli explained. She admitted that she “can’t quite seem to calm all the way yet.”

The actor detailed how her “body goes into overdrive” and her brain is “overthinking and catastrophizing.”

For most, catastrophizing is worrying that your friend is dead when they’re merely running a few minutes late. In this case, it’s her entire body going into panic mode — a response over which she has “no control.”

Bertinelli mused: “Part of me is fascinated by what the human body is capable of when our feelings can get in the way or override any reasonable thought.”

She added: “And another part of me is just curious on how all of this happens.”

‘You’re not alone’

At the end of her caption under the video of her shaking, Valerie Bertinelli asked if anyone could relate to her “extreme anxiety attacks.” She also reminded her followers: “You’re not alone.”

She’s right. Many people have these experiences.

As for why … simply put, sometimes people’s bodies go into crisis mode without an emergency context.

Whether someone has cPTSD for childhood trauma or is still processing a car accident, their body might surge with panic.

In Valerie Bertinelli’s case, that means shaking and sobbing until the “false alarm” concludes.
