Patrick Clancy, the ex‑husband of Lindsay Clancy, will give his first televised interview to CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday after a jury deadlocked in her 2023 trial for killing their three children.
The case ended in a mistrial on September 4 when 11 of 12 jurors were ready to clear Clancy, believing that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from a rare postpartum psychosis when she strangled Cora, Dawson and Callan. A single juror sided with prosecutors, who argued that Clancy was aware of what she was doing.
In the upcoming interview, Clancy is expected to discuss the grief of losing his children and address the unfounded social‑media conspiracy theories that claim he was connected to their deaths. His new wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, will also appear to speak about the case.
A clip posted ahead of the interview shows Clancy answering whether he feels angry with himself or has failed. “I think I did the best I could with what I had at the time,” he says, adding, “And I live with the outcome. I live with it every day.” Danis, in a separate clip, calls Clancy “the most selfless and supportive partner” and says she does not understand how the story has been twisted.
During the trial, neither side disputed that Clancy strangled the children before attempting to end her own life. Her attorney maintained that she was a loving mother who had been experiencing deep delusions and other mental‑health problems, for which she had been receiving treatment. The Plymouth County district attorney has not yet announced whether he will seek to try Clancy again.
