Lindsay Clancy Trial: A Gym Friend, a Daycare Director, and a Psychiatrist Testify

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?
