Patrick Clancy has described speaking to his three dead children and asking them to “help me” in his first interview since his former wife Lindsay’s murder trial ended in a mistrial. The interview highlights his ongoing grief, while also addressing the severe online abuse and conspiracy theories he faced during the trial, including false claims that he was involved in the children’s deaths.

Lindsay Clancy admitted killing Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, in Massachusetts in 2023, but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing post-partum psychosis and medication. The jury deadlocked 11-1, and prosecutors have not said whether they will retry her or offer a plea deal; she has since hired attorney Martin Weinberg to seek dismissal on double-jeopardy grounds.
