Husband Patrick Clancy returned home to find Lindsay with slashes on her neck and wrists and Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, strangled in the basement.Â
Cora and Dawson were dead, Callan died a few days later. His wife had brutally killed them before throwing herself from the window of their mansion in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023.
In a heartbreaking interview with the New Yorker, Patrick speaks about that day and opens up about how he and Lindsay, now paralyzed, have interacted since.
One chilling extract describes him calling her from a CVS store. When she rang back she was normal but ‘seemed to be in the middle of something.’
Yet, he says, he does not blame Lindsay for the killing their three children.
‘I wasn’t married to a monster, I was married to someone who got sick,’ he said.
He told how she had been suffering from anxiety and was institutionalized in the months before the horrific incident.
He also said that just a few days before her arraignment, a voice mail was left from a phone number he didn’t recognize. It was Lindsay, calling from a psychologist’s phone to say she loved him.
When he called back the next day, Lindsay explained she heard a voice commanding her to kill the children and then herself because it was her ‘last chance’.
‘She did not sound like my wife,’ Clancy said of the phone call.Â
It was six months before the couple spoke again, and Lindsay told her husband how every day was the worst day of her life.
‘She misses her kids,’ Clancy said. ‘Which I know sounds crazy to some people. But that’s the reality.’
Lindsay’s friends have also previously told how she often joked about having enough children to fill a ‘baseball team,’ and said she was ‘born to be a mother.’

But Lindsay apparently started to struggle with anxiety shortly after the birth of her youngest son, Callan, who was just eight months old when he was killed.
She told Patrick she wanted to go on to Zoloft as she prepared to return to work, and started seeing a virtual therapist.
Those virtual visits, though, were more centered on medication management, Patrick said.
