Summary
When Patrick Clancy came home on January 24th, 2023, his wife was in the backyard, seriously injured. She told him she had tried to kill herself. He asked where the children were. She said the basement. What he found down those stairs broke every assumption anyone had about this story.
Five days later, Patrick asked the world to forgive Lindsay. As he already had.
Lindsay Clancy was a Duxbury, Massachusetts mother of three and a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. After the birth of her youngest child, she spent months fighting for her mental health — seeing psychiatrists, visiting ERs, calling crisis lines, checking herself into McLean Hospital. Her husband called her doctors himself and said it was urgent. They were told to keep taking the medications. By January 2023, the defense says she had thirteen different prescriptions from multiple providers in four months with no meaningful coordination between them. The day before everything happened, her doctor raised her dose after a seventeen-minute virtual call.
Prosecutors say she planned the murders. That she searched methods of killing. That she calculated her husband's absence and acted with premeditation. That argument goes before a jury on July 20th, 2026.
Lindsay has pleaded not guilty. Her defense is lack of criminal responsibility — postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's psychiatric evaluation is set for April 10th. Her attorney has told the court she remains at serious risk of suicide.
Patrick has moved to Manhattan. He told The New Yorker he was married to someone who got sick — and prosecutors have subpoenaed the tape.
Hidden Killers tells the full story. The one nobody is telling completely.
