Lindsay Clancy’s trial is underway, with the Massachusetts mother facing three counts of murder in the killings of her children Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. The proceedings are taking place in a Plymouth, Massachusetts, courtroom.
Patrick Clancy, her former husband, took the stand on the first two days of the trial and testified about finding his kids fatally injured and Lindsay’s struggles with mental health.
Patrick eventually moved on and remarried. People reported that Patrick’s new wife is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist named Rachel Danis. The couple live in New York City.
Lindsay’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, disclosed the remarriage in court during the trial.
“Patrick Clancy has suffered one of the worst tragedies that anyone could ever suffer. How that guy is not an emotional basketcase is beyond me, and he is trying hard to move on with his life. As the court is aware, they’re divorced, he’s remarried, he has a family,” Reddington said in court.
Patrick, in the past, asked the public to forgive Lindsay. In an October 2024 interview with The New Yorker, he said, “I wasn’t married to a monster — I was married to someone who got sick.”
Lindsay was a “very dedicated” mother who did everything for their children, Patrick said at the trial. “She just had a really hard time being separated from them,” he testified.
Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges. If convicted of murder, she faces life in prison without parole. In case she is found not guilty due to a lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.
