True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who's consulted with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent today explaining what he found when he sat down with Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.
Saathoff isn't new to this territory — he told the court he's evaluated and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a paper on postpartum psychosis back in the 1980s. He drew a line for jurors between psychosis, which he called a symptom rather than a standalone illness, and the diagnoses that can produce it. He also walked through the difference between Serious Mental Illness — schizophrenia, bipolar I — and Any Mental Illness, the broader category that includes things like anxiety and PTSD.
The heart of his testimony: after interviewing Clancy over Zoom for roughly 11 hours across May and June 2026, Saathoff said she described an external voice that surfaced while making dinner, right after hanging up with Patrick Clancy — telling her this was her last chance, that she had to kill the kids and then herself. He testified the voice stopped once she strangled Callan, her youngest, but had already gone quiet before she attempted suicide. He flagged that as unusual, along with inconsistencies between her account and what collateral witnesses told him — including the decision to order Three V takeout, and Clancy allegedly steering her husband toward a specific drugstore to keep him out of the house longer.

In a 2017 recording played for the jury on Day 6 of the Tupac Shakur murder trial, Duane "Keffe D" Davis described the shooting — the gun, his nephew, the Cadillac, Combs. Then the interviewer asked him a question that exposed the crack in his defense.
The recording from the Death Row Chronicles production captured Davis discussing his relationship with Sean Combs, claiming Combs wanted Suge Knight dealt with and then stopped returning calls after the shooting. Davis said Combs was trying to "wash his hands" of them. The defense tried to block the recording over references to other crimes. The judge allowed it — the fiction defense weakens each time the jury hears another version of Davis telling the story he now claims was invented for money.
Filmmaker Michael Dorsey took the stand as the prosecution's witness, testifying about his phone recording of the interview and his decision to contact Las Vegas police after the documentary aired. His recording was potentially broader than the official production version. Combs has denied involvement and has never been charged.

Eleven hours. That's how long forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff, who's worked with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, spent interviewing Lindsay Clancy over Zoom across May and June 2026 — and today he told a Plymouth Superior Court jury what came out of it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (7 months) — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.
Saathoff isn't a stranger to this specific horror — he testified he's diagnosed and treated five to seven women in the prison system who killed their children, and co-authored a 1980s paper on postpartum psychosis with four colleagues. He explained to jurors that psychosis itself isn't a disease but a symptom, and distinguished Serious Mental Illness like schizophrenia and bipolar I from the broader Any Mental Illness category that covers things like anxiety disorder and PTSD.
Then came the substance: Saathoff testified Clancy described an external voice that started while she was making the kids' dinner, right after a call with Patrick Clancy — telling her this was her last chance, that she had to kill the children and then herself. The voice, he said, stopped after she strangled Callan, her youngest — though it had already gone silent before her own suicide attempt. He called it unusual that this was the first time she'd ever heard it. He also noted inconsistencies between Clancy's account and collateral witness statements, pointing specifically to the Three V takeout order and Clancy allegedly asking her husband to run an errand to a particular drugstore.

The word is "phone." Jackson County DA Angel Myers McIlrath has told the public a grand jury will get everything her office gathered in the Nolan Wells case, and she hasn't said that word since the family put the device on a four-day window. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a 25-year FBI veteran, joins Tony Brueski on the evidence nobody has opened.
Everything loud about this case rests on it. Nolan's mother says his July 4 texts and pictures had been wiped when she got the phone from his friends. The friends insist no one touched it. An extraction would expose deletions, timestamps, and any login around the hours he went missing. Seven weeks on, the phone sits with the family and no examiner has touched it.
A joint exam at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College lab was agreed July 15 and never scheduled. A 48-hour deadline from the DA followed on August 12, with the parents away. The family countered on August 17 with August 18 through 21. No exam has been announced.
Coffindaffer's 25 years in the Bureau aim the questions at the system. The sheriff announced no foul play on day two, ahead of any autopsy, and never requested the phone. A congressional caucus, the NAACP, and Al Sharpton all moved before a single test was run. The three friends gave the FBI their own devices without being asked twice.
The family's subpoenas to Snapchat, Meta, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Life360 seek login and IP histories. Those logs may answer the wipe question before the phone does.
No one has been arrested. The friends deny erasing anything. The state has its autopsy and its toxicology. The last piece is the one nobody will pick up.

If Lindsay Clancy killed someone because of mental illness, she'd be under the jail like anyone else. That's one comment. She should be in a hospital, not a prison. That's the reply. Both are closer to right than most of the thread, and this is what each verdict actually does.
Guilty of first-degree murder in Massachusetts carries mandatory life without parole. Not criminally responsible means commitment to a state psychiatric facility with periodic court reviews on whether she could ever be released. Lindsay has been held at Tewksbury State Hospital since May 2023, so the hospital outcome is already her daily life. The insanity defense is open to every Massachusetts defendant, juries rarely accept it, and the burden here sits on the prosecution to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Either way she's confined. The jury decides where, and whether the door ever opens.
The segment's spine is a line from Lindsay's nurse practitioner. Rebecca Jollotta testified she raised bipolar disorder with Patrick and Lindsay in the weeks before the killings, and Patrick answered, "My wife is not bipolar." Defense psychologist Paul Zeizel and Dr. Phillip Resnick later diagnosed bipolar disorder. So did Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, testifying for the prosecution.
The rest of the segment: what Patrick did to get her help in December 2022, dated by testimony. His move to Manhattan in May 2023 and the timeline to his remarriage. The profiler commenters call FBI, who never was, and the difference between psychopathy and psychosis. And the thirteen medications, which are documented in his own lawsuit.
Five comments about Patrick Clancy and the system around his wife, each one checked against the record. The verdict belongs to the jury. The consequences are written into the law, and I read them out.
