In an upcoming interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Patrick Clancy, the ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy, seeks to bring attention to his children amid the high-profile case surrounding their deaths. Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, faces charges for the first-degree murders of her children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, who died in January 2023 at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. Her defense claims postpartum psychosis left her not responsible for their deaths, resulting in a mistrial after jurors couldn’t agree on a verdict.
Patrick Clancy’s intention in the interview is to honor the memory of his children amidst ongoing controversies. He feels their story is overshadowed by debates and baseless online accusations directed at him. Some social media accounts falsely suggest his involvement in the children’s deaths despite Lindsay’s admission and no supporting evidence.
Howard Cooper, Patrick’s lawyer, addressed these accusations stating, “Patrick and his family have faced a destructive defamation campaign driven by individuals seeking personal gain. This spread of blatant and baseless falsehoods must stop, and we will pursue all legal measures against those responsible.” Law enforcement has been informed of the situation.
In a preview clip from 60 Minutes, Dr. Rachel Danis, Patrick’s new wife, defends him, saying, “I don’t understand how the story has been so twisted. Pat is a selfless father and supportive partner.” The couple married after Patrick’s divorce from Lindsay Clancy.
During the interview, Patrick shares his continued emotional connection to his deceased children, expressing that he talks to them, asking for help as a way to feel connected.
As Patrick prepares for the interview’s airing, prosecutors are deciding whether to retry Lindsay Clancy. A hearing is scheduled for September 29.
