On 60 Minutes, Patrick Clancy shared his ongoing grief and memories of his children following the murder trial of his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy. Despite the trial ending in a mistrial due to a jury deadlock, Clancy continues to feel connected to his children by speaking to them regularly. The defense argued that Lindsay Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed their three children in 2023, but the jury could not unanimously agree on her criminal responsibility. Prosecutors have not yet decided on a retrial. The interview, conducted by Ross Douthat, also included Clancy’s current wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, and highlighted the impact of conspiracy theories on social media surrounding the case. The full interview will air on CBS and Paramount+ on September 20.
