Lindsay Clancy Trial: What Crime Lab Tech Maureen Hartnett Collected From Clancy Herself

 Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother 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, was back in Plymouth Superior Court this week as the Commonwealth built its forensic timeline. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today's witness wasn't flashy, but she mattered. Maureen Hartnett, a technician with the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, walked the jury through the forensic evidence she personally collected — some of it from the Summer Street home, some of it directly from Lindsay Clancy. That included blood drawn from the defendant herself. It's the unglamorous part of a murder case: nobody's writing a movie about swabs and vials. But it's also the part that becomes load-bearing later, when the defense and prosecution start arguing about what was — or wasn't — in Clancy's system that day.Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham are laying that groundwork now. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, before Judge William F. Sullivan in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several more weeks.Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
