Former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader Laken Snelling<\/strong><\/a> celebrated Easter with her boyfriend and her family months before she was arrested in connection to her baby\u2019s death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Snelling, 21, shared pictures via Facebook<\/a> with her boyfriend, Connor Jordan<\/strong>, and a group of family members on April 20.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan, a former college basketball player at Lincoln Memorial University, was also featured in a series of TikTok videos posted by Snelling earlier this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
