Lindsay Clancy told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts. Her lawsuit says nobody ever asked her the one follow-up question that might have changed everything. 
Lindsay, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. Between September 2022 and January 2023, she was prescribed at least nine different psychiatric medications. Her husband, Patrick, has said she seemed to be acting like a zombie. An outside hospital later determined she'd been overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and her nurse practitioner allegedly never responded when she reached out. 
Her civil lawsuit alleges that what she reported as intrusive thoughts were actually auditory hallucinations, and that the distinction never got explored. A forensic psychiatrist has since diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset, a condition where the very antidepressants doctors prescribe can trigger psychosis. Postpartum psychosis affects roughly one to two women out of every thousand births, and there is still no standardized screening for it anywhere in the country. 
She was also gravely injured that night and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. She has never given police a statement about what happened, not once, in three and a half years. 
Prosecutors have their own version of that missed question. They argue other mothers who lived through postpartum psychosis or depression without harming their children prove sickness alone doesn't explain what happened. Judge William Sullivan agreed and kept those witnesses off the stand, though the comparison stayed part of the record. 
Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list and has publicly asked people to forgive his wife.

Nobody has to push someone off a boat for a death to become a crime. Prosecutors may be about to test that with the Nolan Wells case. 
Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July, he and a group of friends took a boat out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast. He was last seen there around three in the afternoon. His friends left without him. A National Park Service ranger recovered his body two mornings later, off the island's northwestern tip. 
Officials initially said they believed Nolan drowned and that they didn't suspect foul play, before the autopsy was even complete. That same office has since said investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what occurred, a statement that sits uneasily next to the first one. 
District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has told the family the case will go to a grand jury once the investigation wraps. What twelve jurors do with a death that has never been formally classified, and whether leaving a person behind on an island can amount to a crime on its own, is the question at the center of this one. 
Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after leaving the island, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. Crump's experts and Jackson County investigators have agreed to examine the device together. The family has also arranged its own independent autopsy in Washington, D.C., separate from the one performed by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office. Neither result has been released. 
Two autopsies, a missing chunk of texts, and a legal theory nobody has tested yet.

A district attorney doesn't send a drowning to a grand jury. So why is that exactly what's happening in the Nolan Wells case? 
Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats until dark, and then everyone heads back to the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. 
A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was requested. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. 
Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned. They've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released, and some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what they saw. 
None of that explains why the district attorney has now sent the case to a grand jury. Attorney Ben Crump is running a separate, independent investigation for the family, and online, two camps have already dug in — one certain something sinister happened, one certain everyone should calm down. Neither one has seen what the grand jury is about to see. 
A grand jury doesn't get convened over paperwork. Somewhere between the boat leaving and the ranger finding his body, prosecutors saw something worth putting in front of twelve strangers, and they haven't said what it is.

A judge just decided the jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial won't hear from anyone who's actually lived through what her defense says she was living through. 
Lindsay Clancy is charged with killing her three children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, and her attorneys wanted other mothers who've experienced postpartum psychosis to testify about what that actually looks like from the inside. The judge said no. 
Here's what the jury will hear instead: that Lindsay was prescribed at least ten different medications over four months, with eight of them stacked into a single three-week span. That her psychiatric appointments were virtual and sometimes lasted seventeen minutes. That she hospitalized herself three times, called a crisis hotline and was turned away, and told her providers directly that she was having thoughts of harming her children. A hospital assessment ruled out bipolar disorder at the time, an assessment two civil lawsuits now allege was dangerously wrong. A forensic evaluation after the killings diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset. 
Prosecutors counter with their own version: that Lindsay checked Apple Maps to time a fifty-four-minute window, and that her fitness tracker logged her climbing three flights of stairs right after she sent her husband out. Patrick Clancy, the man who found their children, is on the witness list for her defense, not against her. 
Patrick has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the healthcare providers he believes let his wife spiral without ever intervening. 
Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, where two very different pictures of the same woman are about to collide.

Siders family Gallia County Ohio child marriage judge — in 2002, a Gallia County judge approved a marriage license for a fourteen-year-old pregnant girl and a forty-eight-year-old man named Richard E. Siders, a cousin of Gary Siders Sr. When asked about it years later, that judge said he vaguely remembered and acknowledged that no investigation was ever conducted.
That marriage was the first of at least three involving girls between fourteen and fifteen connected to the Siders family across two Ohio counties and West Virginia. In each case, the law allowed parents and judges to sign off on marriages that Ohio's own criminal code could have treated as evidence of a felony. The legal contradiction — one statute criminalizing the conduct, another legalizing the marriage — ran unchecked for nearly two decades.
Tony maps the pattern from the first marriage license in 2002 to the sixty-four charges now pending in Vinton County, where prosecutors allege sixteen children were confined to conditions the Attorney General described as prolonged and extreme interfamilial neglect. The connection between the three child brides and the four defendants in the current case is closer than anyone has reported — and it starts with the grandparents.
