An ex-boyfriend of Laken Snelling, the former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader accused of hiding her baby’s dead body in a closet, has provided his DNA to authorities.
Izaiah Hall recently gave the DNA sample to police in connection to the case, his father told the New York Post on Saturday, September 6.
“Lexington police had him come down to the station to give a sample,” Hall’s father, Justin Smith, said. “I don’t know anything on this and we don’t know if Izaiah is the father or not.”
Hall, 21, is currently a quarterback at the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky, where he is studying Business Administration.

He attended Anderson County High School in Clinton, Tennessee, roughly 50 miles away from where Snelling, 21, studied at Jefferson County High School in Dandridge, Tennessee.
It is unclear how long Hall and Snelling dated, or when the couple broke up.
“I don’t really want to go into any more detail at this stage,” Hall’s father told the Post.
Social media posts showed Snelling posing with another man as recently as June. It is not clear if the man from the posts is connected to the death of Snelling’s baby in any way, or if the couple was still together at the time of the infant’s death.
Snelling was arrested at her home in Lexington, Kentucky on August 30 and charged with Abuse of a Corpse, Tampering with Physical Evidence and Concealing the Birth of an Infant.
Authorities had been dispatched to the home on August 27 after receiving a call about an unresponsive infant.
According to an arrest citation, the “infant was located wrapped in a towel inside of a black trash bag.”
During her interview on the scene with authorities, Snelling “admitted to giving birth” and 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.”

A university spokesperson told Us Weekly on Friday, September 5 that Snelling is no longer a student at the school or on the university’s STUNT team, the competitive cheerleading squad where Snelling had been a member for the last three seasons.
Snelling’s preliminary court hearing is scheduled for September 26.
