Why Lindsay Clancy’s Two Calls Never Reached Her Doctors

The Lindsay Clancy trial has spent days on her medical care, and the timeline that came out of it does not line up the way either side wants. Tony Brueski works through the questions listeners are sending in with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career on behavioral analysis.

Start with the calendar. Clancy began seeing Dr. Jennifer Tufts in September 2022, and fourteen appointments followed by video through January 23, 2023. Tufts testified Clancy was deteriorating across that stretch, with worsening depression, insomnia and anxiety. She raised the possibility of bipolar disorder at a November appointment, then concluded Clancy did not meet the criteria.

Then New Year’s Day 2023. Clancy admitted herself to McLean Hospital. Dr. Alia Goodheart joined her care on January 3 and discharged her on January 5. Goodheart testified Clancy was polite, cooperative, appropriately dressed, and denied any plan to harm herself or anyone else.

Somewhere inside that same window, according to Clancy’s own civil filings, she called a crisis line twice. Neither psychiatrist knew it had happened. Neither had the other’s records, and neither obtained records from Clancy’s earlier providers.

That is the question listeners keep asking, and it is a fair one. Two calls placed by a woman under psychiatric care, and no clinician treating her ever learned they happened.

On all three counts of first-degree murder, Clancy pleaded not guilty and remains presumed innocent. Prosecutors argue she was not seriously pursuing treatment and that her providers bear no responsibility. The providers deny negligence.

Robin Dreeke takes the mailbag on what a handoff is supposed to look like and where this one broke. Support is available any time at 988.
