0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Clancy in Massachusetts. The case the entire world can't take

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>their eyes off. We're updating you multiple times a week

<v Speaker 1>in this feed as the court proceedings continue to unfold.

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Just a warning, this episode contains descriptions of violence against

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>children and suicide. In our last episode, I detailed the

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>events that led up to the deaths of the Clancy

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>children from Patrick's testimony, including his chilling words to nine

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>one one. In today's episode, we delve into Lindsay and

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Patrick's lives in the lead up to the trial. During

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>his testimony, Patrick Clancy was asked about all three of

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>his children, Cora five, Dawson three, and eight month old Callen.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Cora's into princesses, and she had a lot of friends,

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>and she just liked taking care of people. He was

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>in the firefighters and trucks, and he liked parpetrol. Allen correct,

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he had.

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Many Lindsay and Patrick named Cora after the first baby

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey delivered as a nurse. Patrick described his ex wife

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>as a dedicated mum. Prior to the killings. As emergency

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>services arrived on the scene and took in the horror

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that was in front of them. Lindsay was rushed from

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>one hospital to the next. Due to the severity of

0:01:55.320 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>her trauma, she needed intensive surgical and medical treatment. Children

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>were also rushed to local hospitals, but none of them survived.

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>A few days after the killings, Patrick received a voicemail

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>from Lindsay.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>She said she heard a man's voice telling her that

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>if she didn't do it now, she would lose her chance,

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:17.679
<v Speaker 2>or something like that.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>She was assessed on January twenty sixth, two days after

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the killings. Incubated in the ICU, psychiatric staff gave her

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>paper to write her answers on. When asked how she

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>was feeling, she wrote down horrified. Then do I have

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>an attorney? When asked if she had questions for the

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>psychiatric team, she said.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 3>She asked, is my body broken? Are my legs street?

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 3>She then asked about can she have visitors? And you

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 3>know where her family is.

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>In another assessment, it was raised that Lindsay wanted to

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>change her health care proxy from her husband to her parents.

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>The next day, it was determined she had the medical

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>decision making capacity to do so. Eventually, she was transferred

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to a psychiatric facility where she was being held. She

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>continues to receive medical treatment and remains partially paralyzed. Her

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>sister and her mother have continued to support her. During

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>her mum's testimony, she said.

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Lindsay was a very loving mother. She was dedicated to

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>her children. She was a fun mother. I was always

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 4>doing things for her kids. She always wanted to be

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 4>a mother, have many children, and I felt it was

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 4>the best thing that ever happened to her, and she

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>would do anything for her children. She was just a

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 4>loving mother.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>After the killings, a friend of the family started a

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>GoFundMe on Patrick's behalf, which raised just over a million

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars with the intention of helping cover medical bills, funeral services,

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>and legal help. In the description of the GoFundMe, thanked

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>those for contributing. Since the deaths of his children, he's

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>been actively involved in charitable endeavors, including the Herd Foundation,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>which was created by him alongside his sisters in twenty

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. The charity's core mission is to build a

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>dedicated treatment center where parents can heal with dignity and

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>support and foster a culture of kindness and connection so

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>no one struggles alone. It's been reported that Patrick went

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>on solo trips to both Europe and Latin America in

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>the months after his children were killed, before relocating to

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>New York. In the May of twenty twenty three, he

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>sold the family home in Duxbury and rented an apartment

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in the Upper East Side of New York and started

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a new job working for Microsoft. At the time, he

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>filed for divorce from Lindsay and began dating again. In

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>February twenty twenty four, he was in a confirmed new

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>relationship with doctor Rachel Danis. The pair moved in together

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five and were married in April twenty

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>six in New York's Central Park, just a few months

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 1>prior to Lindsay's trial. Patrick has continued to center his

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>children in his life after running the Boston Marathon in

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>tribute to them, he shared in a statement shared by

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the Boston Children's Hospital, Callen spent his last moments in

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>my arms before he passed at Boston Children's Hospital. They

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>gave me a little more time with my boy, and

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll forever be grateful for that, He shared. This with

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>reporters after crossing the finish line.

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I love my kids.

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 2>There are wonderful people. They had a lot of friends.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Everybody loved them, and they had short lives, but they

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>had really good lives.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.680
