The Lindsay Clancy murder trial, unfolding in Plymouth Superior Court, moved into a rough patch for the prosecution today. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.On cross-examination, Reddington went straight at the credibility of the state's expert. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist with FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit ties, had testified Clancy understood right from wrong and was criminally responsible despite a bipolar II diagnosis. Under questioning, he acknowledged he wasn't retained until January or February of 2026, more than three years after the killings, and said he had no idea what his university employer was paid for his time on the case. Reddington also got him to acknowledge a pattern: his expert testimony history runs almost entirely for prosecutors, prisons, and universities — not for defendants.The most uncomfortable stretch came over homicidal ideation. Saathoff confirmed Clancy had told her husband and mother about it directly. But asked whether she'd raised dark, intrusive thoughts of suicide and homicidal ideation with doctors and others more broadly, he wouldn't agree that the homicidal ideation part reached that far — even while admitting she repeatedly sought help and told doctors about dark and suicidal thoughts. Nobody, it turns out, ever asked her the one question that might matter most: were these just thoughts, or voices.Clancy is paralyzed from the waist down after her own alleged suicide attempt. Husband Patrick Clancy, absent from the home that day, now lives in Manhattan. The trial continues.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who works with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, 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's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington spent cross-examination taking Saathoff's testimony apart piece by piece. Saathoff admitted that on the 911 call, he never actually heard Clancy say she tried to kill herself — just grunts. That detail came from Patrick Clancy's account instead. Same story with the pills: Saathoff said he got the information about Clancy allegedly crushing medication straight from Patrick — nothing was ever tested to confirm it. Reddington then asked the obvious follow-up nobody had an answer for: how did the empty pill bottles end up in a drawer? Saathoff also conceded that a person in psychosis can generate false memories and misremember events entirely — which doesn't exactly help a case built on secondhand recollection. He testified he never reached out to Clancy's mother himself, relying only on the DA's office telling him she wouldn't talk.Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands at the time, has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.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, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the murders of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when it happened.Today the prosecution's expert took the stand, and he didn't hedge. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, testified that whatever voice Clancy said she heard never told her how to kill her children or where to do it — a detail the prosecution wants the jury sitting with. He described Clancy as gripped by a sense of "burdensomeness," convinced she couldn't return to work and that the family couldn't survive financially with her in it. He called her suicide attempt "very, very serious," pointing to the fact that she tried multiple methods as proof she meant it.Saathoff landed on a diagnosis — bipolar II — and said Clancy was suffering from a genuine mental disease at the time. But he drew a hard line after that: disease or not, he testified she understood right from wrong, and she was criminally responsible for what happened.That's the needle prosecutors are threading — real illness, real tragedy, but not legal insanity. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

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

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

For twenty-five years, exorcists have been sending a New York psychiatrist the cases they can't explain, and they chose him because they expected him to say no.==========HOUR ONE: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========HOUR TWO: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax?

Dr. Avram Mack, the psychiatrist prosecutors brought in to rebut the defense's insanity claim, spent Monday getting worked over by defense attorney Kevin Reddington 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 resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington opened by dredging up prior cases where courts found Mack didn't have the credentials to testify — not exactly a confidence builder before he even got to the substance. Then came the number nobody likes saying out loud in a courtroom: several hundred thousand dollars a year, Mack's take from expert testimony work. Reddington had him define confirmatory bias, then asked if he had it evaluating Clancy. Mack said no. He testified he evaluated Clancy in 2026 — three years after the killings — armed beforehand with defense records, DCF files, and medical history, across two doctors and roughly eight hours of interviews plus testing. He also noted that Drs. Heilbrun, Resnick, and Zeizel landed on bipolar 2, another doctor said bipolar 1, and that postpartum psychosis isn't even in the DSM, so he wouldn't use the term as a diagnosis.Prosecutors still need Mack's testimony to hold up despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The prosecution spent Monday's redirect trying to put Dr. Avram Mack back together after Kevin Reddington's cross-examination left him bruised 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 resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Prosecutors used their redirect to walk Mack through something the defense hadn't dwelled on: that "postpartum onset" exists as a specifier within diagnoses like bipolar disorder and major depression, even if postpartum psychosis itself isn't a standalone DSM entry. It's a technical point, but it's the kind of technical point that can quietly undercut a defense theory without anyone raising their voice. Beyond that, the redirect stayed in the weeds — definitions of what "postpartum" actually covers clinically, more on Mack's qualifications, and other procedural cleanup. No bombshells here, just two sides fighting over the credibility of one witness inch by inch, Reddington working to keep the earlier damage intact, prosecutors working to patch it.It's not the most cinematic day of testimony, but it matters — juries remember whether an expert held up under pressure, and this was the prosecution's chance to make sure Mack's opinion still counts for something. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday with Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist called by the prosecution, continuing his rebuttal testimony after the lunch break. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Mack testified that Clancy told him she heard a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she had to kill her children before killing herself. He diagnosed her with major depressive disorder, which he agreed qualifies as a Mental Disease or Defect. His conclusion, though, was that she retained the capacity to know her actions were wrong, and therefore retained criminal responsibility.Reddington used cross-examination to chip away at Mack's credibility. Mack confirmed he's being compensated by the district attorney's office, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him in, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside a second forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — declining, notably, to discuss "the contact" between the two of them. He also testified Clancy had a "lifelong history" of medication resistance, then acknowledged that claim isn't documented anywhere in his own notes. What he did document: she avoided medication specifically because she was breastfeeding.The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the diagnoses on the table just multiplied. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She then allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an injury that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Her defense, led by Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The prosecution's rebuttal witness had a different diagnosis in mind entirely. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's medical records and evaluated her in April 2026, told jurors that assessing someone's mental state requires looking at who they were at the time of the act itself. He described a patient who showed no interest in her hygiene, the hospital's food, or the other patients around her — though she did have visitors on occasion. Mack noted she's taking numerous psychiatric medications, all at low doses.His diagnosis: a major depressive episode within major depressive disorder. Not bipolar disorder — he testified he saw nothing in her records pointing to mania or hypomania. And notably, not postpartum psychosis either, which is the diagnosis the defense has built its entire case around.Patrick Clancy, her husband, was running errands when the killings happened and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist and one of the country's leading experts on filicide — cases where a parent kills their own children — testified via Zoom 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's pleaded not guilty, and her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Resnick evaluated Clancy in person about four months after the killings — over three and a half hours with her, another hour and a half with her parents. He described her as heavily medicated, matter-of-fact, blunted. Worth noting: the prosecution's own doctors didn't examine her until three years after the crime. Resnick, like the other evaluators, found no evidence she was faking or minimizing for sympathy — if anything, she downplayed her own symptoms. His diagnosis: Bipolar II with severe depression, postpartum anxiety that worsened with each pregnancy, and on the day of the killings, full postpartum psychosis — command hallucinations, a sense that her own body wasn't hers to control. His conclusion was blunt: she was unable to conform her conduct to the requirements of the law. Prosecutors pushed back hard on cross, leaning on how rare this kind of filicide actually is. After Resnick stepped down, the defense rested.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.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with murdering her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — is standing trial in Plymouth Superior Court. Prosecutors allege she strangled the children with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity — severe postpartum psychosis compounded by psychiatric overmedication.Today the prosecution called in a rebuttal witness with a very different read. Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist who reviewed Clancy's records and met with her in April 2026, testified that evaluating someone's mental state means looking at who they were at the moment of the act — not building a narrative around it. He described a woman uninterested in her own hygiene, indifferent to hospital food, and largely withdrawn from other patients, though she did accept visitors at times. He noted she's on numerous psychiatric medications, but at low doses.Mack's conclusion cuts against the defense's central theory on two fronts. He believes Clancy experienced a major depressive episode as part of major depressive disorder — not postpartum psychosis, and not bipolar disorder, since he says he found no evidence of mania or hypomania anywhere in her records.Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumed Friday with Dr. Avram Mack, a psychiatrist called by the prosecution, continuing his rebuttal testimony after the lunch break. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Mack testified that Clancy told him she heard a command voice tell her this was her "last chance" — that she had to kill her children before killing herself. He diagnosed her with major depressive disorder, which he agreed qualifies as a Mental Disease or Defect. His conclusion, though, was that she retained the capacity to know her actions were wrong, and therefore retained criminal responsibility.Reddington used cross-examination to chip away at Mack's credibility. Mack confirmed he's being compensated by the district attorney's office, that Park Dietz & Associates brought him in, and that he'd met with Clancy alongside a second forensic psychiatrist from that same firm — declining, notably, to discuss "the contact" between the two of them. He also testified Clancy had a "lifelong history" of medication resistance, then acknowledged that claim isn't documented anywhere in his own notes. What he did document: she avoided medication specifically because she was breastfeeding.The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.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 rested after fourteen days of testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Prosecutors presented the 911 call, prescription evidence, digital records including an Apple Maps search, and a psychiatrist who told the jury her patient never seemed psychotic despite fourteen treatment sessions. The defense has begun calling its own witnesses. Lindsay Clancy's mother told the court her daughter believed the medications were destroying her mind. Friends and family describe a mother who was present, loving, and fighting to hold herself together in a system that kept changing her prescriptions. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke sit down with the hardest listener questions this case has produced. Was Clancy's planning evidence of lucidity or the kind of desperate routine a sick mind can still perform? Does Patrick Clancy's forgiveness and his lawsuit against the doctors undermine the prosecution or reinforce it? And the question underneath everything else: if the jury finds her not criminally responsible, she doesn't walk free — she goes to a state facility, possibly forever. Does the jury even understand what they're deciding?END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It was a surprisingly short day in court, but it was a powerful one for the defense. Dr. Paul Zeizel told jurors that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis and that she had no appreciation for the wrongfulness of her act. Also, the judge in the case ruled a TikToker could not be called as a witness in the case and then abruptly and mysteriously ended court early, saying there was an “unforeseen circumstance” that they “did not see coming.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Donald Condie, a clinical and forensic psychiatrist specializing in psychopharmacology, testified today for the defense 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 severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Condie told jurors he reviewed Clancy's full medical file from Dr. Tufts and found it thin — sparse enough to raise questions about what was actually being tracked. He testified that psychosis patients typically report auditory hallucinations, and that Clancy did describe hearing voices and intrusive thoughts. In his assessment, she exhibited the full symptom profile that precedes postpartum psychosis. He also noted a basic gap in her care: thyroid issues can trigger postpartum complications, yet neither Dr. Tufts nor NP Jollotta ever ordered the blood test that would have ruled it out. When Clancy called the Aspire hotline for help, Condie testified she was told that without a specific suicide plan, her level of care couldn't be increased. Despite medication and repeated attempts to get help, he said, her symptoms never let up.On cross-examination, prosecutors pointed out that Condie's CV lists no direct postpartum experience and pressed him on whether he'd reviewed police reports. They also got him to confirm Clancy never told her own providers she was hearing voices — a point the defense addressed on redirect, when Condie testified she may have stayed quiet out of fear of losing her nursing license or her children.

Fourteen telehealth appointments. Not one of them in person. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist treated her for months without ever sitting in the same room as her — and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explain why that detail became one of the more damaging moments of the trial so far. Dr. Jennifer Tufts told the jury Lindsay showed no signs of psychosis. Under cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she acknowledged she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record, didn't know about two prior calls Lindsay made to a suicide hotline, and had become board-certified the same day Lindsay's intake paperwork was filled out. Faddis breaks down why the prosecution called her at all, and how that testimony was received once Reddington finished with her on the stand. Faddis unpacks what the prosecution needs from a witness like this — proof that Lindsay understood what she was doing — and how three hours of cross-examination complicated that. The state is also leaning on what Lindsay did the morning her children died: sending her husband out, timing the errand, and a phrase she typed into her phone that prosecutors consider central to their case. Meanwhile, the defense has spent weeks documenting thirteen psychiatric medications, near-daily messages begging providers for changes, and journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — the diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist the defense brought in. Faddis lays out where each side stands and what Massachusetts prosecutors still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The providers who treated Lindsay before her children died are turning out to be as central to this trial as anything said in the courtroom since. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.

A psychiatrist testified Lindsay Clancy showed no signs of psychosis. Then it came out she'd missed something twice. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to walk through the moment that turned a prosecution witness into a problem for the prosecution itself. Dr. Jennifer Tufts treated Lindsay through fourteen telehealth sessions over months and never met her in person. She testified without Lindsay's complete medical record. On cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she admitted she hadn't known Lindsay called a suicide hotline on two separate occasions, and that she'd become board-certified the same day Lindsay filled out her intake paperwork. Faddis breaks down why the state put Tufts on the stand in the first place — to establish that Lindsay was competent and aware — and why three hours of cross-examination may have accomplished the opposite. The prosecution's broader case leans on Lindsay's actions that day: sending her husband out, timing his errand, and a specific phrase she searched on her phone beforehand, a detail Faddis says the jury will keep coming back to during deliberations. On the other side, the defense has spent weeks building a picture of a woman on thirteen psychiatric medications, messaging providers almost daily begging for changes, describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in her own journal. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before her children died. That diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense. Faddis lays out what the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in Massachusetts, and where its own witness list may be working against it. Three weeks into the trial, both sides are still calling witnesses who cut in unexpected directions and reshape the case in real time. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week we are re-releasing a Substack Live from our Breaker community! Mayim and Jonathan unpack their recent conversation with Dr. Paul Conti, psychiatrist and author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, and the clinician who assessed Lady Gaga during her psychiatric crisis. His central argument: the lens through which you approach your own suffering may be the very thing keeping you stuck in it - and psychiatry needs to evolve to help you see that.Mayim breaks down one of Dr. Conti's most profound suggestions — that if a diagnosis becomes your sole identity, the brain will actually reinforce it. Every time you return to a problem as the primary fact of your existence, you deepen the groove that rumination is creating in your brain. He's offering a clinical framework for redirecting attention toward what is functioning, and why that reorientation affects real mental health improvement.More than half of the physical complaints that walk into a general practitioner's office originate in the mind not as fabrication, but as the body's honest response to unprocessed psychological overload. Mayim and Jonathan sit with what that actually means: your back pain, your gut issues, and your chronic fatigue may not be separate problems requiring separate specialists; they may be indications of a system under pressure that needs focused psychological care.They also explore:- Why internet self-diagnosis and social media labeling can be dangerous, and what the actual clinical criteria are for knowing when something needs professional attention versus when you're just wired differently- The case that many mental health challenges are spiritual in nature, and what it means that our healthcare system lacks a framework for treating them that way- How chronic background stress erodes your capacity to handle normal life, and why you often can't see it happening, because your baseline keeps shifting without your awareness- Practical takeaways from the recent episode with Dr. Stacy Sims, Exercise Physiologist and Nutrition Scientist, on women's health, protein timing, and what actually happened when Jonathan snuck a bolus of protein into Mayim's bedtime routineFollow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lindsay Clancy saw her psychiatrist fourteen times. Every appointment was a video call. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she never observed signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. On cross-examination, the foundation of that testimony collapsed.Tufts didn't have Lindsay's full medical record during treatment. She never used the Edinburgh screening scale. She was unaware Lindsay had reached out to a suicide hotline on two occasions. Her board certification arrived on the same date Lindsay filled out intake paperwork. The prosecution brought her to the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally stable. Three hours of defense questioning turned that testimony into an exhibit about a healthcare system that evaluated a struggling mother through a screen.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the prosecution's strategy three weeks into the trial. The state's premeditation theory relies on a single Google search and the timing of a takeout errand. But witness after witness called by the prosecution has described a devoted mother overwhelmed by thirteen medications and unable to get adequate help. In Massachusetts, the prosecution carries the burden of proving criminal responsibility. The state's own case may be undermining that burden.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The state argues Lindsay sent Patrick out for takeout, timed the errand, and searched "ways to kill" before her children died. But the prosecution's own witnesses — the nanny, the pediatrician, the ex-husband — have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who couldn't get help. In Massachusetts, the state carries the burden of proving she was criminally responsible.

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?

No blood tests. That's the detail that stuck out most from today's cross-examination of Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her defense — led by attorney Kevin Reddington — argues she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington walked Tufts through standard suicidal-ideation screening protocols, then noted no bloodwork was ever done to confirm her medications were actually functioning as intended. He also highlighted what he framed as insufficient responses to Clancy's own pleas for help. Tufts testified that she doesn't consider genetic testing particularly useful for guiding psychiatric medication choices, which set up an awkward moment when Reddington asked about a specific article linking postpartum depression to thyroid function — one Tufts admitted she'd never read. She also confirmed discussing a possible undiagnosed bipolar disorder with Clancy, tied to an extreme SSRI reaction, plus a partial hospitalization program that was discussed but never carried out. Even so, Tufts said she didn't believe involuntary hospitalization was the right call at the time.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands that day and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If you're the state's expert witness, the last thing you want is your own resume working against you. That's what happened today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington took psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts apart on cross. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she strangled 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's pleaded not guilty, with an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts told the court she'd been trained in postpartum treatment and had seen as many as 50 patients across four years. Reddington countered with the specifics: in the month leading up to Clancy's evaluation — her first stretch practicing solo — she'd seen roughly two postpartum depression patients. He also raised a pending lawsuit accusing Tufts of overstating her postpartum credentials, a detail that undercuts the "trusted expert" framing prosecutors need her to carry. He then pivoted to medication, walking her through side effects and drug interactions and pushing on how much she actually knew about what Clancy was taking, before hammering what he's calling a breakdown in communication among her doctor, her psychiatrist, and everyone else supposedly coordinating her care.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy knew what she was doing despite the psychiatric defense. She allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy, spent today under cross-examination in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and defense attorney Kevin Reddington didn't let her off easy. Clancy, 34, is 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington pressed Tufts on the basics of suicidal-ideation screening, then pointed out something that should give anyone pause: no blood tests were ever run to check whether Clancy's prescribed medications were actually working. He also zeroed in on what he characterized as thin, inadequate responses to Clancy's own cries for help. Tufts testified she doesn't put much stock in genetic testing for medication selection — a position Reddington used to needle her about a postpartum-thyroid article she admitted she'd never read. She also confirmed she and Clancy had discussed a possible undiagnosed bipolar disorder, prompted by an extreme reaction to SSRIs, along with a partial hospitalization program that never happened. And despite everything, Tufts told the court she didn't believe involuntary hospitalization was warranted.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

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?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist who spent four years as a resident treating thousands of psychiatric patients — roughly 50 of them dealing with postpartum depression — took the stand again today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, this time on redirect from prosecutors. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts told the court she's treated patients in the middle of active psychosis before — she knows what it looks like. And by her account, she didn't see it in Clancy. That's the kind of testimony that doesn't need a dramatic soundbite to matter; it goes straight at the foundation of the defense's entire theory.Then came recross, and things got granular fast. Reddington and Tufts went back and forth over her own clinical notes — not just what was written, but what it actually meant. Two professionals, same document, competing readings. Juries tend to remember exactly this kind of moment, because it's not about who's lying. It's about how much room there is to argue over a diagnosis after the fact.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings, jumping from a second-story window and leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court, expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?

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?

A screening form is only as good as what the patient is willing to write down — and today's testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial made that painfully clear. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's psychiatrist, described a patient who checked every box for "not a threat" right up until she wasn't. Clancy is charged with strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise 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, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing insanity via postpartum psychosis and overmedication.Tufts testified Clancy denied being suicidal, homicidal, or manic on her intake and risk forms, and showed no signs of psychosis or auditory hallucinations. But Clancy also told Tufts she was concerned about her own alcohol use — up to five days a week — alongside a long list of other mental health issues, and impulsive behavior was never assessed. Tufts started her on Zoloft, a breastfeeding-safe first option, and recommended therapy, though Clancy was reluctant to medicate. Raising the dose from 25 to 50 milligrams brought side effects, including intrusive thoughts that she might die — not active suicidal thoughts, Tufts clarified, but ideation nonetheless. Tufts said Clancy didn't fit Major Depressive Disorder, even as her depression visibly worsened in the days before January 23. Still, nothing in front of Tufts read as an active threat.Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew what she was doing. She allegedly tried to take her own life afterward by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband Patrick was running errands at the time and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before the killings, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts murder trial — and her testimony reads like a paper trail that missed everything. Clancy is 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. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts testified that Clancy filled out suicide risk and mental health screening forms, and on paper, she checked out — not suicidal, not homicidal, not manic. No signs of psychosis. No auditory hallucinations. What the forms didn't capture: Clancy told Tufts she was worried about her own drinking, up to five days a week, on top of a long list of other mental health concerns — and impulsive behavior was never flagged. Tufts prescribed Zoloft, a first-line option considered safe for breastfeeding, and referred Clancy to therapy. Clancy was hesitant about medication. When the dose went from 25 to 50 milligrams, she had side effects — including intrusive thoughts that she might die, though Tufts said there was no active suicidal ideation attached to it. Tufts testified Clancy's depression worsened as January 23 approached. She still didn't consider her a threat.Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

But Clancy also told Tufts she was concerned about her own alcohol use — up to five days a week — alongside a long list of other mental health issues, and impulsive behavior was never assessed. Tufts started her on Zoloft, a breastfeeding-safe first option, and recommended therapy, though Clancy was reluctant to medicate. Raising the dose from 25 to 50 milligrams brought side effects, including intrusive thoughts that she might die — not active suicidal thoughts, Tufts clarified, but ideation nonetheless. Tufts said Clancy didn't fit Major Depressive Disorder, even as her depression visibly worsened in the days before January 23. Still, nothing in front of Tufts read as an active threat.Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew what she was doing. She allegedly tried to take her own life afterward by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband Patrick was running errands at the time and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
