Dr. Phillip Resnick examined two women who killed their own children in the exact same way, decades apart, and reached the same conclusion both times. He evaluated Andrea Yates before her 2001 case ended in a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict, and he told Lindsay Clancy's jury she was following a command voice too, the same finding, one expert, two mothers. That comparison sits at the center of a defense case that's now rested. The record shows Lindsay in session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, one day before the killings, on top of two nurse practitioners, a therapist, two December calls to a suicide hotline, and a five-day inpatient stay at McLean Hospital that ended nineteen days before. The planning theory, built on errands and timing, runs into Resnick's testimony that the Commonwealth's own testing found no evidence of faking, and that Lindsay downplayed her symptoms rather than exaggerated them. The staged-jump theory runs into the fact that she's paralyzed for life and remains on suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital. Prosecutors have their own expert. Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed Lindsay in April 2026, testified she could tell right from wrong, and told the jury she said "go to God" to her children during the killings, a statement she reportedly framed very differently to a hospital chaplain a week later and to Resnick himself months after that. Closings are next. Lindsay's plea is not guilty on three counts of murder, on the ground that she lacked criminal responsibility, and a conviction would mean life without parole starting at age thirty-six for a woman already paralyzed and under suicide watch. Tony Brueski asks what it means when the same doctor who helped clear one mother says the same thing about another.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy was sitting across from her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, one day before she killed her three children. Jennifer Coffindaffer, 25 years in the FBI and no stranger to the guilty camp, joins Tony Brueski to hold every argument for Lindsay's guilt up against what actually made it into the record. The paper trail is the starting point. Beyond that psychiatrist visit, Lindsay had two nurse practitioners, a therapist, two December calls to a suicide hotline, and a five-day inpatient stay at McLean Hospital that ended nineteen days before the killings. The planning argument leans on errands, timing, and exercise bands as proof she knew what she was doing, but Dr. Phillip Resnick, who examined both Lindsay and Andrea Yates, told this jury she was following a command voice. The theory that a search about treating a sociopath proves she was faking runs into Resnick's own testimony that the Commonwealth's testing found no evidence of faking, and that she downplayed her symptoms rather than exaggerated them. The staged-jump theory doesn't hold up against a woman who cut her own wrists, cut her own neck, is paralyzed for life, and remains on suicide watch at Tewksbury Hospital. Prosecutors have countered with Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed Lindsay in April 2026, testified she could tell right from wrong, and told the jury she said "go to God" to her children during the killings, a statement that sits uneasily next to what she told a hospital chaplain a week later and Dr. Resnick months after that. Closings are next. Lindsay's plea is not guilty on three counts of murder, on the ground that she lacked criminal responsibility. Coffindaffer and Brueski ask how sick someone has to be before a jury calls it not responsible.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
State Police Sgt. Timothy Chiappini and Cellebrite examiner Ian Whiffin pulled two sets of messages off Lindsay Clancy's phone, one day apart, and prosecutors and defense attorneys are now building opposite cases out of the same device. On January 20, a message asks whether a sociopath can be treated. Prosecutors point to that line as evidence of a woman thinking strategically, not psychotically. The day before, on January 19, other messages describe hallucinations and symptoms of postpartum psychosis, and a second message on the 20th uses the word "intrusive." The defense says that's the real record of what was happening in her head. The digital evidence sits inside a bigger fight over who Lindsay Clancy told what, and when. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, testified she described a male, laughing voice telling her it was her last chance, the same account she gave everyone else, including a hospital chaplain in the first week after her arrest, back in January 2023. Dr. Phillip Resnick and Dr. Paul Zeizel both separately diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis after spending hours and, in Zeizel's case, roughly sixty sessions with her. Mack disagrees and says he found no evidence of mania. Her family had already tried to intervene. She told them in December 2022 that she'd had thoughts of harming the kids, and they got her admitted to McLean Hospital, which sent her home as low risk nineteen days before the deaths. Her outpatient providers knew about those thoughts too, well before anyone examined a single text message. Closings are next. She's pleaded not guilty on three murder counts on the ground that she wasn't criminally responsible. Prosecutors allege planning and a faked suicide attempt. Tony Brueski walks through what the phone actually shows, and what it doesn't.

The theory floating around Lindsay Clancy's trial says she invented the voice she heard for a malpractice lawsuit filed in January 2026. Hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh testified Clancy told her about that same voice in the first week of her hospitalization, in January 2023, three years before any lawsuit existed. Cavanaugh has visited her roughly two hundred times since. The timeline matters because of who else heard the same story. The prosecution's own psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, called by the Commonwealth to argue Clancy was responsible for her actions, testified she described a male, laughing voice telling her it was her last chance. Mack's first interview with her didn't happen until April 2026, more than three years after the killings, well after Dr. Phillip Resnick's three-hour evaluation four months out and Dr. Paul Zeizel's roughly sixty sessions with her. Both Resnick and Zeizel diagnosed bipolar disorder with postpartum psychosis. Mack says there's no evidence of mania, and that Clancy isn't convinced she's bipolar at all. None of this started in a courtroom. Lindsay told her family in December 2022 that she'd had thoughts of harming the kids. They got her admitted to McLean Hospital, which sent her home as low risk nineteen days before the deaths, and her outpatient providers already knew about those thoughts too. She's pleaded not guilty on three counts of murder on the ground that she wasn't criminally responsible, and prosecutors allege planning and a faked suicide attempt. She's admitted she did it. What she was when she did it is the only question left for the jury. Tony Brueski and a guest lay the lawsuit theory next to the actual dates, and let the timeline speak for itself.

Prosecutors in the Lindsay Clancy trial called Dr. Avram Mack to tell the jury she was responsible. He did. He also told them she described a laughing male voice, cried during his interview, and said she doesn't want to be alive. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a 25-year FBI veteran, joins Tony Brueski for the credibility fight that now defines this case.The guilt camp has moved off the evidence and onto the witnesses, and Tony takes the attacks in order. Resnick, 88, examined her at four months; Mack got his one interview in April 2026. The rules kept the Commonwealth's experts out until the insanity defense was filed, but the jury still heard who got there first.The chaplain, Sheila Cavanaugh, isn't a clinician, and her notes don't mention the voice. She testified Clancy described it in the first week of January 2023 hospitalization, off a breathing tube, and that she's visited about two hundred times. The malpractice lawsuit the voice was supposedly invented for was filed in January 2026.Courtroom face-reading meets Dr. Paul Zeizel's roughly sixty meetings and Mack's own account of her tears. The bipolar denial meets two examining doctors who diagnosed it and the clinical reality that sick people deny being sick.The family blame meets December 2022, when Clancy told them about harm thoughts and they got her admitted to McLean Hospital. McLean's psychiatrist saw no safety concerns and sent her home. The children died nineteen days later. Her providers had the harm thoughts in their records too.Clancy has entered a not guilty plea and argues she lacked criminal responsibility; prosecutors allege premeditation and a staged suicide attempt. She can't be a mastermind and an obvious danger at the same time. The jury gets to pick.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy's final psychiatric appointment was January 23, 2023. The killings were January 24. That single date is where the Lindsay Clancy trial's guilt arguments start to wobble, and Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired from the FBI after 25 years, is here to defend them anyway. The defense rested on August 21, 2026, after Dr. Phillip Resnick testified by video that Clancy was psychotic the day she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Resnick helped acquit Andrea Yates in 2006. He told this jury the command voice ran for some time before January 24 and that Clancy felt she had to obey it. Coffindaffer argues planning proves awareness. Tony puts Yates next to Clancy: both waited for a husband to leave, both acted methodically, one was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Coffindaffer argues the paper trail is thin. The record shows a psychiatrist, two nurse practitioners, a therapist, suicide hotline calls in December 2022, and a five-day stay at McLean Hospital that discharged her as lo
She did. Dr. Avram Mack, the Commonwealth's rebuttal psychiatrist in the Lindsay Clancy trial, testified that Clancy told him about a male, laughing voice that said it was her last chance. On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer argues the guilt side while Tony Brueski runs every credibility attack against the testimony.The doctor's too old: Resnick is 88 and evaluated her four months out. Mack's evaluation came in April 2026. The chaplain isn't ordained: Cavanaugh also testified Clancy brought up the voice in their first conversations, and her visits number around two hundred.The voice was invented for the lawsuit: the malpractice case was filed in January 2026, and the chaplain's account puts the voice in January 2023. Her face is evidence: Mack himself said she cried in front of him. She denies being bipolar: Dr. Paul Zeizel and Resnick both diagnosed it, and denial runs with the illness.The family failed her: after she told them in December 2022 she'd had thoughts of harming the children, they got her into McLean Hospital. The hospital cleared her and discharged her; nineteen days after that, the children were dead. Her providers knew about the harm thoughts. She wasn't hiding it.Clancy denies three murder counts on a claim of no criminal responsibility, and prosecutors allege she planned the killings and staged the jump. Two versions of her are on trial at once: a mastermind who fooled everyone and an obvious danger nobody acted on.

Yes. Lindsay Clancy had a telehealth session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, and killed her three children on January 24. On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer brings the guilt argument in the Lindsay Clancy trial, and Tony Brueski brings the record.The defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the forensic psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He testified Clancy was psychotic and obeying a command voice. Prosecutors answered the same day with Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed her in April 2026 and said she knew her actions were wrong.Six questions, six arguments for guilt, each one run against a fact. Everyone agrees she was sick, so how sick is sick enough? Yates planned and was acquitted, so why does planning convict Clancy? A sociopath faking insanity exaggerates, and the Commonwealth's testing showed Clancy minimized, so where's the faker? The paper trail runs through four providers and a McLean Hospital admission, so how is that no paper trail?The staged-jump theory meets a nurse in a house full of medication who chose a neck wound, cut wrists, and a second-story window, and is now paralyzed and still on suicide watch at Tewksbury. The consciousness-of-guilt theory meets three people who heard the same thing from her. "Go to God" during the killings, according to Mack. "Glad they're safe" to a chaplain a week later. Months after that, she told Resnick dying would've left the kids worse off without her.Clancy's plea is not guilty, built on lack of criminal responsibility, while prosecutors allege a planned killing and a faked suicide attempt.

Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse on trial for killing her three children, ages five, three, and eight months, received more than 30 different psychiatric prescriptions in just four months and was never diagnosed with postpartum psychosis before the killings. While she has admitted to the murders, a wave of TikTok and true crime creators has spent the past week building an entirely different case against her husband, Patrick Clancy, pointing to a half marathon photo with his now wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, a Bratz doll crime scene recreation, and a Nancy Grace segment about the couple sitting too close together. Chalene checked every theory against the actual court testimony. She also breaks down the one piece of evidence the judge won't let the public hear, Patrick's 911 call, described by courtroom insiders, including NBC10 Boston's Sue O'Connell, as the most gut wrenching audio they have ever heard. Topics discussed: Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Dr. Rachel Danis, McLean Hospital, postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, SSRIs, Bermuda Half Marathon, Don't F**k with Cats, Nancy Grace, Shannon Hill, Sue O'Connell, Commonwealth Confidential, Casey Anthony, George Anthony, Chris Watts.

The Lindsay Clancy trial stopped today and nobody will say why. Judge William Sullivan sent the jury home mid-afternoon citing an "unforeseen circumstance," told them not to speculate about it, and offered no further explanation. There was also an unexplained delay starting the morning. Two stoppages in one day, and no outlet has reported the cause.This episode covers three days of testimony in Plymouth Superior Court: Days 14, 15, and 16 of the trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan.Monday, the prosecution rested after 72 witnesses over 13 days. Tuesday, the defense brought its medical case. And today, forensic psychologist Dr. Paul Zeizel delivered the sentence Kevin Reddington has been building toward for four weeks: that Lindsay Clancy had a mental disease, was unable to conform her behavior to the rule of law, and had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. That is the Massachusetts standard for not criminally responsible, recited almost word for word.Also covered: the Andrea Yates testimony nobody is reporting on, the prosecution asking a grandmother whether she knew murder is a mortal sin, a defense witness found on TikTok by a private investigator, McLean Hospital's staffing records entering evidence, and the suicide hotline that Lindsay Clancy called twice in December.Plus a full Reality Check on Patrick Clancy. He is not a suspect and never has been, but the trial record contains a different indictment.

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, examine the specific claims.Creators are scrutinizing surveillance footage from Kingston CVS, comparing photos of Patrick's new wife to Lindsay, and reinterpreting a blood stain expert's testimony as evidence Patrick pushed Lindsay from the second floor. The command hallucination Lindsay reported — a man's voice telling her to act — has been recast as Patrick coaching her over the phone.On August 11th, defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked the judge to let a former McLean Hospital employee testify after he found her through a TikTok video disputing the prosecution's portrayal of the facility.

TikTok creators are calling Patrick Clancy the real killer. Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has already told a courtroom she did it. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Patrick can do about online accusations reaching millions of people — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott digs into a warning that came months before the deaths and never changed the treatment plan. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder over the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense argues severe postpartum illness removed her criminal responsibility. Prosecutors argue she acted with intention. In 2022, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta raised the possibility of bipolar disorder with Lindsay and her husband, partly based on a reported forty-eight hours without sleep on a new antidepressant. She prescribed an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, while the antidepressant regimen continued. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she weighed bipolar disorder that December and set it aside for lack of mania. Staff at McLean Hospital discussed sleep loss tipping a patient hypomanic before discharging her with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun explains why bipolar disorder often takes years to diagnose correctly, why depression is usually the first label clinicians reach for, and whether the criteria taught in training even apply to a new mother. Faddis then returns to Patrick — creators dissecting his remarriage, analyzing his testimony for signs of guilt, and building narratives the trial evidence doesn't support. He lays out what the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook verdicts established, and why suing anonymous creators with no assets may not be worth the fight regardless of the law.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy's treatment plan barely moved after a nurse practitioner flagged bipolar disorder in 2022 — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why that matters, while defense attorney Eric Faddis tackles an entirely different fight brewing online. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense concedes she killed them and argues postpartum illness left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew what she was doing. Months before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told Lindsay and her husband she might have bipolar disorder, based partly on a forty-eight-hour stretch without sleep after starting an antidepressant. She added an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, but the antidepressant kept going. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered bipolar disorder that December and ruled it out for lack of mania — euphoria, high energy, grandiosity. McLean Hospital staff discussed sleep loss tipping someone hypomanic before discharging Lindsay with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun walks through how long a bipolar diagnosis typically takes to land, why depression gets diagnosed first almost every time, and whether the standard clinical checklist was ever built with a mother of three small children in mind. From there, Faddis shifts to Patrick Clancy, who's now being accused on TikTok of murdering his own children — compared to Chris Watts, blamed for pushing Lindsay from a window — despite Lindsay's own defense team conceding in open court that she did it. Faddis explains what legal options actually exist against creators reaching millions of people, and why "theory" framing doesn't always hold up.

Kevin Reddington spent hours cross-examining Dr. Jennifer Tufts on Day 10 of Lindsay Clancy's trial, and one line of questioning kept circling back to a test that was never run. Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what Tufts declined to order, and what she said when Reddington pushed on it. Tufts testified all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never spoke to Clancy's parents, and that she couldn't access records from a separate perinatal clinic Clancy was attending because she never asked Clancy to sign a release. Reddington also pressed her on a treatment she considered but couldn't prescribe outpatient, and on a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis that she hadn't read. Midway through, he stopped and told her she was a doctor trying to do the right thing. The episode also covers testimony from Dr. Alia Goodheart, who treated Clancy at McLean Hospital and acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis, and from Dr. Sejal Shah, a prosecution witness who agreed a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis. Both Tufts and Goodheart testified they never knew Clancy had called a crisis line twice, calls that appear in Clancy's own civil filings. The prosecution's cross drew out that Clancy booked her own appointments, drove herself to an emergency room, and never showed a sign of psychosis in front of Tufts. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Support is available around the clock at 988.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A psychiatrist signed off on Lindsay Clancy's release from McLean Hospital. On cross-examination, she was asked a simple question — how many cases like this had she actually seen. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unpack what that answer means for a case built on whether Clancy's illness was real enough to excuse what happened. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after her children died at home in Duxbury in January 2023. Neither side disputes that she caused their deaths. Her defense argues postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew exactly what she was doing. Shavaun, a licensed psychotherapist with more than thirty years in trauma and the psychology of violence, walks through what postpartum psychosis looks like from the inside — the difference between an intrusive thought and a command voice, and why a person can seem composed while still being seriously ill. Research estimates the condition affects roughly one or two births per thousand, usually surfacing within weeks of delivery. Then the episode turns to Clancy's outpatient psychiatrist, who treated her by video through fourteen appointments in the months before the killings. Those sessions were scheduled for thirty minutes. What actually happened inside them is a separate question — one Clancy's own civil suit answers differently than her provider's records do. Shavaun also addresses something easy to miss: Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse, which may have shaped how seriously her own reports were taken by the people responsible for her care. Clancy attempted suicide the same day her children died and now appears at trial in a wheelchair.

Dr. Alia Goodheart treated Lindsay Clancy at McLean Hospital. On cross-examination, she couldn't say how many patients with postpartum depression she'd seen across twenty years of practice, and acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis at all. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke take listener questions on what that means for her testimony. Goodheart, like Dr. Jennifer Tufts, Clancy's outpatient psychiatrist, testified she observed no signs of psychosis and had no idea Clancy called a crisis line twice, calls documented in Clancy's own civil filings. A separate prosecution witness, Dr. Sejal Shah, agreed on cross-examination that a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis and called Clancy an honest patient. The conversation also covers Day 10 of the trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington spent hours cross-examining Tufts. He established that all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never spoke to Clancy's parents, and that she never asked Clancy to sign a release that would have opened her file from a separate perinatal clinic. He pressed her on a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis she hadn't read and blood testing she declined to order. The prosecution countered that Clancy booked her own appointments and drove herself to an emergency room. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and is presumed innocent unless the state proves its case. Support is available around the clock at 988.

Screening tools exist because the human eye misses things. There is a ten-question screen built specifically for postpartum mood disorders. Lindsay Clancy took it in November 2022 with a nurse practitioner and scored 23 out of 30. Testimony established McLean Hospital never gave it to her.The three first-degree murder counts against Clancy all carry not guilty pleas. Cora, Dawson, and Callan died on January 24, 2023. She admits causing their deaths. The not criminally responsible claim rests on postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder. The Commonwealth says she acted rationally and knew what she was doing.This is the full conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, running all three parts.Part one explains the illness. A 2017 review in BMC Psychiatry puts postpartum psychosis at roughly one or two births in a thousand, and it usually arrives within days or weeks of delivery. Callan was eight months old.Part two examines the clinicians. Dr. Jennifer Tufts treated Clancy across fourteen video sessions without ever meeting her, and testified she relied on Clancy to volunteer whatever mattered. Dr. Alia Goodheart testified her caseload had never included one.Part three covers bipolar disorder, raised by a nurse practitioner in 2022 and written on the McLean discharge as severe depression with no psychotic features noted.Nightbird is her published memoir. Both doctors dispute the malpractice claims.The McLean admission began January 1, 2023 and ended with a discharge four days later. She has been in a wheelchair throughout the proceedings. Shavaun covers what changes in treatment once bipolar disorder is on the chart, and why a mood stabilizer alters the entire prescribing calculus.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
"This is your last chance." That's what the defense says Lindsay Clancy heard on January 24, 2023 — voices telling her to act. She had been on thirteen psychiatric medications. She had been messaging her providers almost daily begging to change them. Her journal described intrusive thoughts, insomnia, and a desperation that built for months.No clinician diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that night. Every provider documented anxiety and depression. The psychosis diagnosis came after, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense.Kevin Reddington's case doesn't dispute that Lindsay killed her children. It argues she was incapable of understanding what she was doing. He's spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated her — exposing telehealth-only sessions, incomplete records, missed warning signs, and a prescribing pattern he's called "horrific." The judge barred him from calling other mothers who've experienced postpartum psychosis. He's now fighting to add a former McLean Hospital employee to the witness list through a TikTok video.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether the defense's strategy is working, where its risks are, and what happens when a case built on a diagnosis that didn't exist until after the crime reaches a jury that has to look at three dead children and decide whether their mother was too sick to be punished.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution had 180,000 pages of data extracted from Lindsay Clancy's iPhone. On Day 13 at Plymouth Superior Court, they chose to present one Google search to the jury: "Can you treat a sociopath?" from January 20, 2023.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington's cross-examination revealed what else the phone's browser history contained. Four weeks of searches, date by date: bipolar disorder, McLean Hospital, Trazodone, Zoloft, insomnia, schizophrenia, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, benzodiazepine withdrawal, Ativan, psychosis. On January 23, the day before the killings — intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. Every medication Lindsay had been prescribed appeared in her search history.The prosecution also flagged photos of the Clancy children as "modified" on the evening of January 23. Reddington established on cross that the modification was a standard iPhone function — converting a live burst photo to a single image. The forensic analyst confirmed he didn't know there were framed photos of the children throughout the Clancy home.Prosecutors presented a Surface Pro laptop visit to a website about methods of ending one's life from August 2022. Reddington traced the browsing chain to a Spotify music search and a Wikipedia hyperlink. The examiner couldn't confirm who was using the computer. A cellphone note modified the night before the killings described a woman who wanted a fourth child and was terrified of messing up her kids. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contends she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time. Prosecutors allege she planned the killings deliberately.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In November 2022, a psychiatric nurse practitioner screened Lindsay Clancy with a ten-question tool built to detect postpartum mood disorders. Twenty-three out of thirty was the number. Extreme anxiety showed up on the same screen. Weeks later she was admitted to McLean Hospital, where that screening was never administered.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three first-degree murder counts arising from the deaths of her children at their Duxbury home. Her defense does not dispute the killings themselves. The defense argues her illness put her beyond criminal responsibility. The state's case is that she acted knowingly and swiftly.This is the complete conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, all three parts in one.The first covers the condition. A 2017 review in BMC Psychiatry puts postpartum psychosis at roughly one or two births in a thousand, and it typically arrives within days or weeks of delivery. Eight months was Callan's age.The second covers the clinicians. Dr. Jennifer Tufts saw Clancy across fourteen video sessions and never in person, and testified she never obtained records from other providers or had Clancy sign the releases. Dr. Alia Goodheart testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior records.The third covers bipolar disorder. A nurse practitioner told Clancy and her husband about it in 2022. A psychiatrist dismissed it on the absence of mania. McLean discharged her with major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features.She authored the memoir Nightbird. Both named doctors deny the allegations against them.Clancy's five-day stay at McLean ran from January 1 to January 5, 2023. Her lawsuit says a Columbia psychiatrist evaluated her for eight hours after the deaths and diagnosed bipolar disorder with psychosis and anxious distress with postpartum onset.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A screening result is only worth something if it travels. Lindsay Clancy scored 23 out of 30 on a ten-question postpartum screen administered by a nurse practitioner in November 2022. Her outpatient psychiatrist testified she never requested records from other providers. McLean Hospital obtained none either.Three children died in Duxbury on January 24, 2023. Every count drew a not guilty plea. The killings are not what the jury has to decide. Her attorney says postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder are why she is not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she should be held criminally accountable for intentional acts.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott run the full three-part conversation here.The first part is the illness — how rare it is, how it moves between disorientation and clarity, and where psychosis parts company with psychopathy.The second is the clinicians. Fourteen video appointments and no in-person visit. A McLean psychiatrist who testified she had encountered none of these cases. A patient who was herself a labor and delivery nurse and was taken at her word by everyone.The third is bipolar disorder — raised by a nurse practitioner in 2022, ruled out by a psychiatrist for lack of mania, and recorded on the McLean discharge as major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features.Shavaun credits what worked too, including a nurse practitioner who handed Clancy her personal cell number. Neither accepts liability in the civil suits.The nurse practitioner who administered that screen, Julie Paul, launched South Shore Hospital's perinatal program in 2018 and saw Clancy for about ten days before leaving for another position. Clancy's lawsuit says a Columbia psychiatrist later diagnosed bipolar disorder with psychosis after an eight-hour evaluation.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ruling out a condition you have never encountered is a different act than ruling out one you know. That question runs through the medical testimony in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial.Clancy stands charged with three counts of first-degree murder, all pleaded not guilty, in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her three children. She has not contested causing their deaths. The defense claims postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder are why she is not criminally responsible. The state's argument is that she acted knowingly and should be held accountable.Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital testified her caseload had never included one, and could not say how many postpartum depression patients she had treated in twenty years. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she was not certain how rare the condition is, and that she had not treated any such patients in the period before Clancy came to her.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for part two of three. Shavaun has practiced for more than thirty years across trauma, anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence.The conversation covers the records that were never requested, the releases that were never signed, and fourteen video appointments with a psychiatrist who was never in the same room with her. It covers what it means that Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse and was treated as a reliable reporter by everyone who saw her.It also covers the care that held up. A psychiatric nurse practitioner gave Clancy her personal cell number and called her on a day off.Neither has admitted liability.Julie Paul launched South Shore Hospital's Perinatal Behavioral Health Program in 2018 and met Clancy through Clancy's then-mother-in-law, a nurse at the same hospital. Their contact lasted about ten days because Paul was leaving for another job. Tufts finished her residency in July 2022, the month before Clancy's first appointment.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Anyone following the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has watched a second case get built in public against her husband. Patrick Clancy has never been charged, never been named by a detective, and never been accused by her own defense team. He is being convicted anyway, daily, by strangers.The loudest item on the list is the lawsuit. He sued four of her providers on behalf of his three children's estates, and a great many people read that as a man constructing himself a story. Lindsay sued eleven, seven of them individual providers, plus McLean Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. Both filings argue the same thing about the care she got.Tony Brueski works through what the accusation needs to be true and what the record actually holds. Where the errand originates. What the toxicology came back as. What two strangers on a phone line heard from her minutes before. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a defendant in those suits, has been on the stand defending the care she gave, with Julie Paul called after her.And there is one thing he did a year after losing them that the people prosecuting him online have never had to account for.He made that same argument first, days after the funerals, when he asked strangers on a fundraising page to forgive her the way he had. He told police the medications had given her the worst side effects possible. He said he was not married to a monster.Eighteen jurors have now heard every fact this accusation rests on, under oath, and not one of them has been asked to consider him.Come for the list. Stay for the item nobody on either side argues with him about.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Set the Lindsay Clancy trial beside the Alex Murdaugh retrial and the witness lists start to rhyme. Tony Brueski takes the mail across all three segments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis.Clancy's psychiatrists testified for the prosecution that they saw no signs of psychosis. One of them, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told jurors she did not have or seek Clancy's records from other providers and relied on her patient to disclose what mattered. The other, Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital, testified the hospital did not obtain those records either. Neither knew about the two crisis line calls Clancy's civil suit describes.In South Carolina, Murdaugh's defense is demanding updated personnel files, disciplinary records and internal affairs materials on the investigators and forensic analysts who built the case. The state is moving the other way, seeking to admit Murdaugh's 2023 testimony and to keep third-party guilt away from the jury.One structure, two jurisdictions. A record assembled by people who were not looking for the thing the defense now says was sitting there.Prosecutors in Massachusetts argue Clancy's providers are not to blame and that she acted intentionally. Prosecutors in South Carolina argue the evidence against Murdaugh is overwhelming and that speculation about other suspects is not evidence.Clancy's trial is expected to run six to eight weeks with more than a hundred and eighty witnesses. Murdaugh's retrial is tentatively set for April 5, 2027.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Alex Murdaugh awaits retrial after his convictions were overturned and is presumed innocent.Robin Dreeke handles all of it, including what a witness leaves out and how you hear it. 988 is answered around the clock.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy walked out of McLean Hospital in January 2023. The psychiatrist who oversaw that discharge, Dr. Alia Goodheart, later testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that she could not say how many postpartum depression patients she had seen in twenty years.Her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, died on January 24, 2023 in Duxbury. Her plea on all three counts is not guilty. Her attorney's position is that she was psychotic and not criminally responsible. The Commonwealth argues she understood what she was doing.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott spend part two on the clinicians and the record they left behind.Goodheart testified she had no concerns about Clancy's safety or anyone else's, and that she had no reason to believe Clancy was not a reliable reporter. McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior psychiatric records.Her outpatient psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, testified to the same gap from the other direction. She did not request records from Clancy's other providers and did not have her sign the releases that would have opened them. She testified she relied on Clancy to disclose what mattered. Fourteen appointments, all by video, none in person.Shavaun addresses the detail that changes how all of this reads. Her career was spent in labor and delivery. She spoke the language, and it made her easier to believe.The conversation also credits the care that worked. One psychiatric nurse practitioner gave Clancy her personal cell number and called her on a day off, and Clancy's own defense lawyer said she had done a good job.Both named physicians deny liability.Tufts completed her psychiatric residency in July 2022 and joined the practice the month before Clancy became her patient. Clancy located her online. Goodheart testified McLean staff contacted Patrick Clancy to corroborate his wife's reports, and that she knows patients sometimes minimize symptoms.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On December 20th, 2022, a doctor at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence looked at Lindsay Clancy's medication list and decided she was too medicated to safely enter their postpartum program. That doctor picked up a phone and called the nurse practitioner prescribing them. Nobody answered. Nobody called back. Thirty-five days later her three children were dead.Today that nurse practitioner testified, and Kevin Reddington read her the note.Day 11 in Plymouth Superior Court, on what happened to be Lindsay Clancy's 36th birthday. Julie Paul retook the stand and got a one-minute cross that was more devastating than any of the grillings that came before it. Rebecca Jollotta, the psychiatric nurse practitioner who inherited Clancy's care in November 2022, spent nearly the entire day answering for a treatment record she only ever saw a fraction of. And before the jury walked in, Judge William Sullivan heard argument on whether a former McLean Hospital social worker who posted about the trial on TikTok can testify about holiday staffing on a psychiatric unit.I go through the MyChart messages Clancy sent her provider in December, in her own words, in real time. I go through the bipolar question and the 5K that nobody knew about. And I get into the detail nobody else is covering: Jollotta could not get her patient's psychiatrist notes, could not get the McLean records, and did not know about fourteen psychiatric appointments, but she could pull every controlled substance Clancy had ever been dispensed in Massachusetts in about ninety seconds. We built one interoperable health database in this country. We built the one that watches you.Also in here: why blaming HIPAA for this is a myth, with the actual regulation cited. Why there are five inpatient perinatal psychiatric programs in the entire United States and forty-five states have none. And why every provider on that witness stand is also a defendant in a civil suit over the same care.***This episode is not editedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics
True Crime Today digs into the Lindsay Clancy civil lawsuit and the reason her ex-husband is suing her providers instead of her. According to the complaint filed in Norfolk Superior Court, the people treating Lindsay's postpartum mental illness misprescribed a bevy of powerful medications and stacked new drugs onto old ones without any connecting plan. The civil filings count nine psychiatric medications in her final months, eight of them inside a single three-week stretch, while her criminal defense team counts 13. The suits say Lindsay repeatedly told her providers the medications were causing her worsening symptoms. She went to emergency rooms, called crisis lines, and admitted herself to hospitals. The basic lab work that would have shown how her body was processing the drugs was never done, the filings claim. Lindsay's own separate malpractice suit goes further, naming 11 defendants including McLean Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital. It describes a program staffed by a skeleton crew over a holiday, and it discloses a bipolar diagnosis made after the killings by a Columbia University psychiatrist. Tony breaks down both filings, the difference between what a civil jury and a criminal jury must find, and the collision coming when one verdict arrives before the other. The providers' employers have responded with statements, not specifics, and nothing in either lawsuit has been proven. Lindsay Clancy is presumed innocent in her criminal case, where prosecutors allege the killings were planned and her illness has been overstated. The reason Patrick Clancy went to civil court is written across every page of his complaint, and it points at the same system his ex-wife's defense is blaming at trial. Read the trial through the lawsuit and the whole picture sharpens.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
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.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Four separate places treated Lindsay Clancy in the four months before January 24, 2023. Testimony on Day 10 of her Plymouth Superior Court murder trial established that none of them could read what the others were writing down.Aster Mental Health had her from September. South Shore's perinatal behavioral health program had her in November. McLean Hospital admitted her for five days in early January. A program in Rhode Island evaluated her in December. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who saw her most, testified she had no access to the records from any of the others and never requested them.That gap has a rule behind it. Under Massachusetts law, mental health information sits behind a higher wall than ordinary medical data, and a provider needs a signed authorization to reach across it. Tufts confirmed she never put that form in front of her patient.The consequences arrived in pieces. Tufts said she found out about the McLean admission only after discharge. She said she did not know Clancy had disclosed thoughts of harming the children, and that had she known, she would have been very concerned and might have contacted the state child protection agency.The afternoon brought Julie Paul, the psychiatric nurse practitioner who founded the South Shore perinatal program in 2018. Her testimony about how Clancy reached that program, what her screening actually scored, and how long she remained a patient there changes the shape of the whole November timeline.Tony runs the day the way it happened, including Judge William Sullivan's morning ruling permitting three additional defense doctors.Clancy has entered a plea of not guilty. Her attorneys argue postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors say the killings were intentional.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution in the Lindsay Clancy trial built its case around one number — thirteen medications, all within therapeutic range. Then their own expert stood up and complicated that story in a way nobody on the state's side probably wanted.Under cross-examination, the prosecution's psychiatrist told the jury that a person can be in active psychosis and still appear calm, functional, and coherent to everyone around her. That single admission cuts against the Commonwealth's entire "she was thinking clearly" theory.The rest of Day 8 didn't make things simpler for the state. Eleven witnesses took the stand, all called by the prosecution. A medical examiner described how 8-month-old Callan died. Lindsay Clancy broke down at the defense table watching autopsy photos, forcing the judge to pause proceedings. The pediatrician recalled a routine physical with 5-year-old Cora hours before the deaths — nothing unusual, nothing flagged. Friends and coworkers testified about insomnia, brain fog, and a stay at McLean Hospital. Patrick Clancy's father called her a great mother and their home an all-American family.Then the case detective was pressed on a search warrant executed on her Facebook account, hunting for evidence of abuse in the marriage. He admitted it found nothing.Clancy's journal entries were read into the record, including a line about feeling like she was drowning. The prosecution calls that premeditation. The defense calls it a documented collapse. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has already conceded the killings — what's left is whether Massachusetts can prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Two doctors testified at the Lindsay Clancy murder trial on Day 9, and both are defendants in wrongful-death lawsuits filed over the deaths of the three Clancy children. That collision is the spine of this episode of Hidden Killers. The state called Dr. Alia Goodheart and Dr. Jennifer Tufts to help prove Lindsay Clancy planned the killings in Duxbury, Massachusetts. What jurors heard cut both ways. Goodheart explained why McLean Hospital sent Clancy home on January 5, 2023: she seemed like a caring mother focused on the future, with support at home and follow-up care booked. Nineteen days later the children were gone. Pressed by defense attorney Kevin Reddington, Goodheart acknowledged she has never treated postpartum psychosis, and Yahoo News reports McLean never pulled Clancy's prior records or ran blood tests during her stay. Then Tufts described where Clancy stood the day before it all ended, in two words said under oath. Tony lays out what the prosecution wanted from this testimony, what the defense actually got, and why the stakes could not fork harder. A conviction means life without parole. A finding of not guilty by reason of a lack of criminal responsibility means a state psychiatric facility. There's also the courtroom fight that opened the day, an accusation about a hot mic, a denial from the district attorney's office, and a judge reminding everyone in the room that the microphones are always on. Tufts is back on the stand August 10 for cross-examination, and Reddington has already shown which prescription he plans to start with. This is the episode that gets you ready for it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy trial that legal analysts didn't expect from a prosecution witness — an admission that may have done more for the defense than for the state. I break it down along with everything else that unfolded across the Commonwealth's case.Thirteen psychiatric medications, all within therapeutic range — that's the prosecution's headline fact, the one they want the jury fixated on. It's supposed to mean she was lucid. It doesn't mean what they think it means, and their own expert said so under cross-examination.Day 8 alone produced eleven witnesses, all called by the state. A medical examiner detailed how 8-month-old Callan died. Lindsay Clancy broke down hard enough at the defense table that the judge halted the hearing until she composed herself. The family's pediatrician recounted a completely unremarkable checkup with 5-year-old Cora hours before the deaths. Coworkers and friends testified to insomnia, brain fog, a rotating list of medications, and time spent at McLean Hospital. Patrick Clancy's own father took the stand and called her a great mother.Then the case detective was asked about a search warrant on her Facebook account, hunting for any sign of abuse in the home. He confirmed it turned up nothing.Her journal entries were read into the record — lines about drowning, about barely holding on. The prosecution reads those words as premeditation. The defense reads them as a woman's mind unraveling in real time, on paper, before anyone stepped in. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has conceded what happened. What he's fighting is whether Massachusetts can prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. I walk through where that fight stands now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A prosecution witness in the Lindsay Clancy trial said something on the stand that sounds like it belongs in the defense's closing argument. I go through exactly what was admitted and why it matters more than the state probably wanted it to.The Commonwealth's case leans hard on one fact: all thirteen of Lindsay Clancy's psychiatric medications were within therapeutic range when her children died. To the prosecution, that means clarity. But their own psychiatrist told the jury that someone deep in psychosis can still present as calm and put-together — normal on the outside doesn't rule out a break happening underneath.Day 8 of the trial brought eleven witnesses, every one called by the state, and the day didn't go the way prosecutors probably scripted it. A medical examiner explained how 8-month-old Callan died, autopsy photos went up on screen, and Lindsay sobbed hard enough that the judge stopped the hearing. The pediatrician described a routine, unremarkable checkup with 5-year-old Cora just hours before the killings. Coworkers described insomnia, brain fog, a stack of medications, a stay at McLean Hospital. Then the case detective confirmed a search warrant on her Facebook, looking for signs of abuse, came back empty.Her journal entries were read aloud — words about drowning, about barely functioning. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington isn't arguing about what happened; he's conceded it. The only question left for this jury is whether the state can prove she was legally sane, and that burden belongs entirely to the prosecution. I break down where this leaves the case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 9 of the Lindsay Clancy trial shifted heavily into the psychiatric treatment Lindsay received in the weeks and months before the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan. Jurors heard from Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital and Dr. Jennifer Tufts, Lindsay's outpatient psychiatrist, about her worsening depression, anxiety, severe insomnia, suicidal thoughts, medication changes and whether she ever displayed signs of psychosis. Both doctors testified that they did not observe Lindsay to be psychotic during the periods they treated her.The defense challenged those assessments, focusing on Lindsay's escalating symptoms, her calls to a suicide hotline, medication changes and the adequacy of her psychiatric care. Dr. Goodheart testified that Lindsay was considered a low/minimal safety risk when discharged from McLean, while Dr. Tufts described Lindsay as “depressed and flat” just one day before the killings, although Lindsay denied suicidal or homicidal thoughts. Tufts' testimony continued into Day 10.Join True Crime Squad as we break down the crucial psychiatric testimony from Day 9, the prosecution and defense questioning, Lindsay's treatment history and what these doctors' observations could mean for the central question of the trial: Was Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible for killing her children, or was she suffering from a mental illness severe enough to meet Massachusetts' standard for lack of criminal responsibility?
A father takes the stand for the prosecution — then sues the doctors instead. That's where the Lindsay Clancy murder trial stands after its first week in Plymouth Superior Court, and it's not the story anyone expected walking in. Patrick Clancy testified that the day before his three children died, Lindsay seemed fine — she built a snowman with them, texted normally, gave no outward sign anything was wrong. Prosecutors are using that testimony to argue she was rational enough to plan what came next. Jurors also heard a seven-minute 911 call, saw pajamas and exercise bands entered as evidence, and learned about a fourteen-second phone call Patrick received after the children were already dead, with no idea anything had happened. But the defense pulled a different thread on cross-examination. Lindsay had checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve. She'd been to the ER. She'd told providers, repeatedly, about intrusive thoughts involving her own children — and Women and Infants Hospital had already flagged overmedication and a possible misdiagnosis that nobody followed up on. Now here's the twist: Patrick and Lindsay have both filed separate civil lawsuits against the healthcare providers who treated her. The same man who testified against his wife is, outside the courtroom, blaming the medical system for what happened. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to break down what it means for a jury to hear both stories at once, and whether a case built on "she seemed fine" can survive a father who doesn't seem to believe it either. They also unpack ADA Buckingham's opening line — that people with mental illness commit crimes every day and are still responsible — and whether the jury will still buy it after cross.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Patrick Clancy sat in the witness box for the prosecution in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial — and by the time cross-examination finished, jurors had heard a very different story than the one that put him there. Plymouth Superior Court opened its first full week with a seven-minute 911 call, pajamas and exercise bands entered as physical evidence, and a fourteen-second phone call Patrick received after his children were already gone, with no idea what had happened on the other end of the line. The state leans hard on one detail: Patrick testified that the day before, Lindsay built a snowman with the kids and texted like everything was normal. Prosecutors call that proof she was lucid enough to plan. ADA Buckingham told jurors flatly that people with mental illness commit crimes every day and are still held responsible for them. Then the defense got its turn. Records showed Lindsay checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve. She went to the emergency room. She told providers, repeatedly, about intrusive thoughts involving her own children. Women and Infants Hospital had already flagged overmedication and a possible misdiagnosis — a flag nobody ever answered. What the jury may not expect: both Patrick and Lindsay have filed separate civil lawsuits against the healthcare providers who treated her. The man testifying for the prosecution is, outside the courtroom, blaming the same system the state is asking jurors to look past. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to unpack what actually hurt the prosecution on cross-examination, what Massachusetts asks a jury with no medical background to decide, and what it means that the children's own father says the doctors failed first. They also break down whether the civil suits undercut the state's timeline, or whether a jury can hold both stories in its head at once.

Here's what the prosecution didn't count on in the Lindsay Clancy trial: their own witness might be their biggest problem. Patrick Clancy took the stand in Plymouth Superior Court to help the state prove his wife was rational enough to plan what happened to their three children. He described one of her best days — a snowman, normal texts, nothing that looked like a woman in crisis. Prosecutors leaned into it hard. Jurors sat through a seven-minute 911 call. They saw the pajamas. They saw the exercise bands. They heard about the fourteen-second phone call Patrick got after the children were already gone, a call where he had no idea anything had happened. Then cross-examination flipped the room. Lindsay had checked herself into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve. She'd gone to the ER. She'd told providers, more than once, about intrusive thoughts involving her own children. And Women and Infants Hospital had already flagged overmedication and a possible misdiagnosis — a warning that went nowhere. And then came the detail nobody in that courtroom saw coming: Patrick Clancy filed a civil lawsuit against the doctors. Lindsay filed her own, separately. The father who just testified for the prosecution is, outside those courtroom doors, telling a different story about who's actually responsible. Tony Brueski sits down live with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries to go through it in real time — what ADA Buckingham's opening statement bet on, what the defense pulled out of Patrick on cross, and whether a jury asked to judge a mother's mind can ignore what her own husband believes happened to her. They also get into how Massachusetts law defines criminal responsibility for someone the state's own witness may not fully believe was in control.

The Commonwealth kept building its picture of Lindsay Clancy this week, and the picture is getting more complicated, not less. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation over the January 24, 2023 deaths of her children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She's pleaded not guilty. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible.Kimberlee Hardy, former Child Service Director at the Kingsbury Club, told jurors Clancy was shy and reticent around other parents and staff, and wouldn't bring Callan in because she was nervous about him catching a cold — though on cross, Hardy said Clancy always seemed happy with her children. Sarah Carney, a family friend closer to Patrick Clancy than to Lindsay, testified Lindsay had been exercising frequently and looked noticeably thinner by the fall and winter of 2022, but described nothing more alarming than a quieter version of the woman she knew.The heavier testimony came from Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital, who explained how patients get admitted — through the ER, via an involuntary Section 12 or voluntary Section 10. Clancy checked in voluntarily in January, citing insomnia and medication side effects. Goodheart's records documented suicidal ideation without a plan, no signs of psychosis, and a minimal-risk classification. Clancy reported feeling emotionally numb and pushed back on a possible bipolar diagnosis. Goodheart weighed postpartum depression, diagnosed insomnia linked to a mental health condition, and sent her home — judged no threat to herself or others.Three witnesses, three separate windows, and one question the jury still has to answer.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, a McLean Hospital psychiatrist spent today's session explaining exactly what she didn't do. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is pursuing an insanity defense through attorney Kevin Reddington, who argues she was suffering severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Dr. Alia Goodheart testified under defense cross-examination that Clancy's discharge instructions consisted of directing her to the Psychology Today website and telling her to check her insurance for covered providers. Goodheart acknowledged she hadn't reviewed prior records from the nurse practitioners and other clinicians already treating Clancy, and confirmed Clancy had disclosed intrusive thoughts of suicide during her care. No blood tests were run. No screening tools were used — including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a standard postpartum assessment that apparently never made it into the room. On redirect, prosecutors pointed to language in the discharge paperwork instructing Clancy to follow up with a personal provider, an attempt to put some of the burden back on the patient leaving the building.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Dr. Alia Goodheart, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital, took the stand today in the murder trial of 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 bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Under defense cross-examination, Goodheart testified that Clancy's discharge plan amounted to a website and an insurance card — she told Clancy to check Psychology Today and her own coverage to find follow-up care. Goodheart also admitted she never reviewed prior records from the nurse practitioners and other providers who'd already treated Clancy, and she confirmed Clancy told her she was having intrusive thoughts of suicide. No blood work. No screening tools. Not even the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale — the standard test built for exactly this situation. On redirect, prosecutors tried to soften the blow, stressing that discharge instructions did tell Clancy to contact a personal provider. Whether that line survives what came before it is now the jury's problem.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Commonwealth spent Day 8 of the Lindsay Clancy trial calling the people who knew her best, and their testimony is the reason this episode matters. Hidden Killers takes you inside Plymouth Superior Court for the full day of August 6, witness by witness.Her coworker of seven years described a lunch where Lindsay admitted insomnia, brain fog, and a difficult mental place, then read a text from the day before the killings about finding the right medication. A therapist friend recalled Lindsay saying she felt like a zombie at her own daughter's birthday party. A lifelong friend shared a message about dark thoughts on medications she was tapering. A preschool teacher remembered 5-year-old Cora saying she missed her mom during Lindsay's stay at McLean Hospital. And Patrick Clancy's father, the children's grandfather, told the jury she was a great mother in an all-American family.Every one of those witnesses came from the prosecution's list. So did the medical examiner who performed Callan's autopsy, the pediatrician who saw Cora the morning of the killings, and the case detective who agreed on cross-examination that a search for abuse evidence came up empty.Prosecutors allege a functioning woman who made choices. The defense argues a mind that had broken in ways the people around her could not see. This episode walks through both readings of the same testimony, the single Facebook post prosecutors pulled from her account, and the fight over three defense doctors that started the moment the jury left the room.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Three witnesses this week gave the jury three very different windows into who Lindsay Clancy was before that day. Kimberlee Hardy, former Child Service Director at the Kingsbury Club, described a mother who was shy, reticent, and reluctant to even bring baby Callan around — she said she was worried about him catching a cold. On cross, Hardy conceded Clancy always seemed happy with her kids. Sarah Carney, closer to Patrick Clancy than to Lindsay, testified Lindsay had been exercising heavily and had grown noticeably thinner through the fall and winter of 2022 — but otherwise just "quiet."Then came the witness that actually matters: Dr. Alia Goodheart, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital. She walked the jury through how patients land at McLean — through the ER, either involuntarily under Section 12 or voluntarily under Section 10. Clancy came in voluntarily in January, unable to sleep without medication and struggling with side effects. Goodheart's own records showed suicidal ideation with no plan, no notations of psychosis, and a "minimal risk" rating. Clancy described feeling emotionally numb and rejected a possible bipolar diagnosis. Goodheart considered postpartum depression, diagnosed insomnia tied to a mental health condition — and cleared her as no threat to herself or anyone else.That last part is the one the defense wants this jury to sit with.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy testified for the prosecution. He described a woman having one of her best days. Then the defense cross-examined him and pulled a different picture — a mother who checked herself into McLean Hospital, who fought to get help, who told multiple providers what was happening in her head.Not one of them told Patrick it was unsafe to leave her alone with the children.Now both Patrick and Lindsay have filed separate civil lawsuits against her healthcare providers. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to analyze what the lawsuits reveal about what this family actually believes happened, the hospital that identified the problem and got no response when it tried to raise the alarm, and whether Massachusetts is asking a jury to make a medical judgment without medical training.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A jury is now seated in Plymouth Superior Court to decide something nobody fully agrees on: whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when her three children died. Eight days before it happened, she told her doctors what was going on inside her mind, and the record of what she said is now part of the case both sides are building. The prosecution isn't disputing that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy. ADA Jennifer Sprague argues she mapped her husband's errand route on Apple Maps, calculated the window, and used exercise bands deliberately. To the Commonwealth, that's a woman who knew precisely what she was doing. The defense doesn't dispute the deaths either. Kevin Reddington is arguing postpartum psychosis, backed by a medical record showing thirteen psychiatric medications in four months, an ER visit, a McLean Hospital admission, and a husband who told doctors she'd turned into a zombie. The court denied a motion to split the trial into two phases. Then there's the whiteboard. Intubated and unable to speak after it was over, Lindsay Clancy wrote one question, and it's a detail that cuts straight to what this whole trial is trying to determine. Patrick Clancy is on both witness lists, called first by the prosecution and expected to testify for the defense as well. He's filed a malpractice suit against her doctors and told a reporter he wasn't married to a monster. We also walk through the Andrea Yates case, where a first jury convicted and a second jury acquitted on strikingly similar facts, and what that means for a Massachusetts jury operating under an even higher legal bar. Two juries have looked at nearly identical facts before and split completely. This jury still has to choose.

Two days on the witness stand. The prosecution's first and most important witness in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. And everything Patrick Clancy said in Plymouth Superior Court made the defense's case stronger.He walked the jury through finding a bedroom covered in blood, his wife beneath an open window, and his three children in the basement. The 911 call played in court left jurors visibly emotional and the judge calling a recess. But during cross-examination, Patrick described a woman who spent months going from provider to provider, getting prescription after prescription, tracking every pill in a journal, checking herself into McLean Hospital voluntarily — and never once being told by any medical professional that she shouldn't be left alone with Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The prosecution tried to undercut the overmedication defense with nine bottles still containing pills. Tony explains why that evidence cuts against the state's own argument. Plus the defense motion over how prosecutors are characterizing Lindsay's internet searches, and the voice Lindsay says she heard on the night of January 24, 2023.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution put Patrick Clancy on the stand first in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, and across two days at Plymouth Superior Court, they got something they probably didn't want. A portrait of a medical system that prescribed without monitoring, referred without following up, and discharged without warning the one person who needed to hear six words: do not leave her alone.Patrick testified to Lindsay's spiral after their third child — the insomnia, the ER visits, the rotating prescriptions, the voluntary admission to McLean Hospital. He told the jury she kept a journal tracking every pill. He said nobody ever told him his wife posed a risk to their children. Meanwhile, the prosecution walked nine prescription bottles past the jury, many still full, arguing the medications weren't taken. Tony breaks down what those bottles actually prove — and it isn't what the state thinks. Plus the seven-minute 911 call that stopped the courtroom cold, the man's voice Lindsay says she heard that night, and why the defense just filed a motion that could force prosecutors to stop misleading the jury about her internet searches.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Dr. David Puder speaks with Robert Drozek, clinical director of the Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) Clinic at McLean Hospital and teaching associate at Harvard Medical School, about practical Mentalization-Based Therapy techniques to improve clinical outcomes in borderline personality disorder (BPD), OCD, and narcissism. Drozek explains the "What, Why, and How" model of mentalizing, how to address psychic equivalence (rigid certainty), pretend mode, and teleological thinking, and offers concrete strategies clinicians can use in session and assign as between-session work to help patients reconnect with difficult emotions, reduce intellectualization, and develop more flexible, reflective ways of understanding themselves and others.
