Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband Patrick has shared intimate details about the deaths of their three children in a new interview with 60 Minutes. Speaking to CBS News' Ross Douthat, Patrick Clancy said his ex-wife told him she remembered the killings as though they were a dream, and that she had never asked for his forgiveness. He also spoke candidly about experiencing suicidal thoughts after his children's deaths.
Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan—at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. She pleaded not guilty, with her defense attorney arguing that postpartum psychosis had left her not criminally responsible for their deaths. The 12 jurors deliberated for seven days but failed to reach a unanimous verdict, leading Judge William Sullivan to declare a mistrial in early September.
Here are some of Patrick Clancy's biggest revelations: Patrick said he asked Lindsay whether she remembered killing their three children, and that she described her recollection as distant and unreal. "She said it was like a dream," he told Douthat. "And she remembered it much in the way you would remember a dream after waking up." When Douthat asked if Lindsey Clancy had ever asked for her ex-husband's forgiveness, he said: "No.
But I gave it to her." "I think when it comes to forgiveness, I also felt that if I didn't get there, I would be eaten up inside forever," he added. Douthat asked Patrick Clancy whether he had ever suffered suicidal thoughts after the deaths of his children. There was a time where I didn't think I would live to see my 35th birthday.
And I was completely fine with it." This is a developing story.
