The medical examiner had to do all the testing to determine that the baby was actually born alive and then asphyxiated.

So that's where the manslaughter charge comes in.

Wait, so do we go over the basic facts?

Did she just get delivered at home?

Yeah, we're going to get to that.

I'm just kind of giving like a brief outline of what's going on and then we'll get into like some more details.

Police previously reported that the infant's body was discovered wrapped in a towel and placed inside a trash bag, which had been hidden in a closet inside Snelling's bedroom.

Authorities also revealed that an autopsy determined, this is later, that the cause of death was asphyxia, although the exact circumstances of how the suffocation occurred could not be determined unless she...

talks or confesses but um as far as i know her initial story is that she gave birth and the baby was alive and it whimpered or made some noises and then she passed out but like she claims the baby she claims she like passed out on top of the baby and then woke up later and like the baby was dead which is a very elaborate story right which is also like well you should have gone to a hospital

So let's talk about the timeline of events.

So this was on Wednesday, August 27th of 2025.

So this was over last summer.

Police were called to an off-campus residence near the University of Kentucky after roommates reported finding blood inside Snelling's bedroom.

Now, I read more about this, more details about the roommates.

First of all, the roommates heard a lot of noise going on for an hour inside her bedroom.

Okay.

Like contractions?

Yeah, like... Her response to contractions?

Yeah, so she's... At first, the noises were five minutes apart.

Yes.
