Origin: Authorities allege Clancy kills her three children

On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy sent her husband out for takeout and to pick up medication; when he returned he found her semi‑conscious and bleeding outside after she had jumped from a second‑story window and was later left paralyzed from the waist down. Inside the house he found all three children in the basement with exercise bands around their necks.

Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead at the hospital that day. Their infant son, Callan, was placed on life support and died on January 27, 2023. All three deaths were from ligature strangulation.

Clancy was arraigned from a Boston hospital bed on February 7, 2023, and pleaded not guilty to three counts of first‑degree murder and related charges; she faces a mandatory life sentence if convicted. Her lawyers say she was suffering postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings; prosecutors say she planned the deaths and sought to get her husband out of the house before strangling the children.
