Speaker 1: their eyes off. We're updating you multiple times a week
Speaker 1: in this feed as the court proceedings continue to unfold.
Speaker 1: Just a warning, this episode contains descriptions of violence against
Speaker 1: children and suicide. In our last episode, I detailed the
Speaker 1: events that led up to the deaths of the Clancy
Speaker 1: children from Patrick's testimony, including his chilling words to nine
Speaker 1: one one. In today's episode, we delve into Lindsay and
Speaker 1: Patrick's lives in the lead up to the trial. During
Speaker 1: his testimony, Patrick Clancy was asked about all three of
Speaker 1: his children, Cora five, Dawson three, and eight month old Callen.
Speaker 2: Cora's into princesses, and she had a lot of friends,
Speaker 2: and she just liked taking care of people. He was
Speaker 2: in the firefighters and trucks, and he liked parpetrol. Allen correct,
Speaker 2: he had.
Speaker 1: Many Lindsay and Patrick named Cora after the first baby
Speaker 1: Lindsey delivered as a nurse. Patrick described his ex wife
Speaker 1: as a dedicated mum. Prior to the killings. As emergency
Speaker 1: services arrived on the scene and took in the horror
Speaker 1: that was in front of them. Lindsay was rushed from
Speaker 1: one hospital to the next. Due to the severity of
Speaker 1: her trauma, she needed intensive surgical and medical treatment. Children
Speaker 1: were also rushed to local hospitals, but none of them survived.
Speaker 1: A few days after the killings, Patrick received a voicemail
Speaker 1: from Lindsay.
Speaker 2: She said she heard a man's voice telling her that
Speaker 2: if she didn't do it now, she would lose her chance,
Speaker 2: or something like that.
Speaker 1: She was assessed on January twenty sixth, two days after
Speaker 1: the killings. Incubated in the ICU, psychiatric staff gave her
Speaker 1: paper to write her answers on. When asked how she
Speaker 1: was feeling, she wrote down horrified. Then do I have
Speaker 1: an attorney? When asked if she had questions for the
Speaker 1: psychiatric team, she said.
Speaker 3: She asked, is my body broken? Are my legs street?
Speaker 3: She then asked about can she have visitors? And you
Speaker 3: know where her family is.
Speaker 1: In another assessment, it was raised that Lindsay wanted to
Speaker 1: change her health care proxy from her husband to her parents.
Speaker 1: The next day, it was determined she had the medical
Speaker 1: decision making capacity to do so. Eventually, she was transferred
Speaker 1: to a psychiatric facility where she was being held. She
Speaker 1: continues to receive medical treatment and remains partially paralyzed. Her
Speaker 1: sister and her mother have continued to support her. During
Speaker 1: her mum's testimony, she said.
Speaker 4: Lindsay was a very loving mother. She was dedicated to
Speaker 4: her children. She was a fun mother. I was always
Speaker 4: doing things for her kids. She always wanted to be
Speaker 4: a mother, have many children, and I felt it was
Speaker 4: the best thing that ever happened to her, and she
Speaker 4: would do anything for her children. She was just a
Speaker 4: loving mother.
Speaker 1: After the killings, a friend of the family started a
Speaker 1: GoFundMe on Patrick's behalf, which raised just over a million
Speaker 1: dollars with the intention of helping cover medical bills, funeral services,
Speaker 1: and legal help. In the description of the GoFundMe, thanked
Speaker 1: those for contributing. Since the deaths of his children, he's
Speaker 1: been actively involved in charitable endeavors, including the Herd Foundation,
Speaker 1: which was created by him alongside his sisters in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. The charity's core mission is to build a
Speaker 1: dedicated treatment center where parents can heal with dignity and
Speaker 1: support and foster a culture of kindness and connection so
Speaker 1: no one struggles alone. It's been reported that Patrick went
Speaker 1: on solo trips to both Europe and Latin America in
Speaker 1: the months after his children were killed, before relocating to
Speaker 1: New York. In the May of twenty twenty three, he
Speaker 1: sold the family home in Duxbury and rented an apartment
Speaker 1: in the Upper East Side of New York and started
Speaker 1: a new job working for Microsoft. At the time, he
Speaker 1: filed for divorce from Lindsay and began dating again. In
Speaker 1: February twenty twenty four, he was in a confirmed new
Speaker 1: relationship with doctor Rachel Danis. The pair moved in together
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five and were married in April twenty

Speaker 1: tribute to them, he shared in a statement shared by
Speaker 1: the Boston Children's Hospital, Callen spent his last moments in

Speaker 1: gave me a little more time with my boy, and
Speaker 1: I'll forever be grateful for that, He shared. This with
Speaker 1: reporters after crossing the finish line.
