Summary

She was a labor and delivery nurse at Mass General. She screened in the severe range for postpartum depression, told her care team again and again that something was deeply wrong, and checked herself into the top psychiatric hospital in the country. The day after her final psychiatrist appointment, all three of her children were gone.

In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through who Lindsay Clancy was before January 24th, 2023 — the manic episodes after her second birth, the medication cascade that followed her third, and what the civil lawsuits filed by both Lindsay and her husband allege her providers missed across four months of escalating crisis. The question this episode sits with: if she was as sick as the lawsuits say, and the system kept sending her home, what does that mean when the criminal case reaches a jury?

Part 2 is live now for Patreon members and drops Thursday for everyone else — the 54 minutes, the police affidavit, and the Commonwealth's case.

Content warning: child death, suicide and self-harm, severe mental illness. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
