Lindsay Clancy Trial: Friend Calls It “A Good Day” — Then a Trooper Drops a Facebook Bombshell
Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old 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, was back in Plymouth Superior Court as jurors heard from two very different witnesses. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She’s pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.
First up: Kyle Carney, a friend of Patrick Clancy’s, who testified that the day of the killings looked like nothing at all — normal, unremarkable, a good day. No warning signs. Then Massachusetts State Police Trooper Andrew Chiachio took the stand and the mood in the room changed. He detailed pulling surveillance footage from a nearby CVS and Three V Restaurant, and revealed that six months after the incident, investigators got a warrant to swab the outside of the Clancy home for possible DNA. A second warrant targeted Facebook, surfacing a May 2021 post from a parenting support group where Clancy described every day with Dawson as a battle. But on cross, Reddington got Chiachio to admit something that cuts the other way — no evidence Clancy was ever abusive toward her son turned up anywhere. The jury was dismissed after the two testified.
Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the defense’s mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several more weeks.
