Watch: Lindsay Clancy’s Final Texts to Husband Before Kids’ Deaths Revealed in Murder Trial

Content warning: This story contains discussion of suicidal ideations.

More details about Lindsay Clancy‘s digital activities before the 2023 killings of her three kids have come to light.

The 36-year-old’s internet searches, phone calls and Apple Watch readings were brought forth to court on Aug. 17 amid her ongoing trial for the murder of her and now ex-husband Patrick Clancy‘s children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

Digital forensics expert Ian Whiffin was called the stand by the prosecution, testifying that Lindsay made multiple online inquiries about drugs and medication—including “how quickly does wellbutrin work for depression” and “ketamine for suicidal ideation”—in the days leading up to her kids’ deaths, per NBC Boston.

Lindsay—whose legal team argues was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she killed her children—made searches about the condition five days before the incident, Whiffin testified.

Whiffin said Lindsay also made online inquiries about “Kids miralax” and “CVS pharmacy” on Jan. 24, 2023, the day of the killings.

As for Lindsay’s call history, Whiffin testified that the former nurse’s phone was last unlocked at 5:13 p.m. on Jan. 24.

Whiffin said Lindsay’s device received an unanswered call from Patrick at 5:33 p.m., before a 14-second outgoing call—which was likely returned using the phone’s locked screen—was made to his phone minutes later. According to Whiffin, Lindsay’s phone received another unanswered call from Patrick at 6:09 p.m.

During his testimony, Whiffin also detailed data recorded by her iPhone Apple Health app and her Apple Watch. He said Lindsay’s last recorded heart rate was 57 beats per minute—which is considered low—while app data showed that she climbed two flights of stairs at 5:03 and 5:33 p.m.

However, Lindsay’s attorney Kevin Reddington challenged the reliability of the data during cross-examination, noting that Lindsay’s watch stopped recording at 5:23 p.m. and her phone stopped recording at 5:38 p.m.

While Reddington does not deny that Lindsay killed her children in their Massachusetts home that day, he argues that she cannot be held criminally responsible because she was struggling with postpartum psychosis at the time.

Meanwhile, the prosecution alleges that Lindsay planned and executed the murders of her three children, before jumping out of a second-story window in a fall that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

If convicted, Lindsay could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Patrick Clancy Says Lindsay Clancy Told Him She Thought About Suicide and Harming Their KidsLindsay Clancy‘s now-ex-husband was the first witness called to testify during her murder trial, which began July 27 in Plymouth Superior Court. The 35-year-old former nurse has not denied killing daughter Cora, 5, and sons Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, but has pleaded not guilty of murder, the defense attributing her actions to postpartum psychosis.Patrick Clancy testified that Lindsay struggled with her mental health after giving birth to Callan in May 2023, according to CNN.She also sought treatment after Dawson was born in 2019, he said, “but it didn’t last very long.”Lindsay’s “big spiral,” as he referred to it, occurred in December 2023 after she started taking a new medication, one of several she’d been prescribed since September, Patrick said. He testified that Lindsay told him she had “intrusive thoughts” about harming their children and herself.He didn’t worry about the kids’ safety, he said, because she didn’t seem to have “any intention” of actually hurting them.On Dec. 31, Patrick said, Lindsay went to the E.R. at Massachusetts General Hospital “because she was still talking about thoughts of suicide. She was admitted to an affiliated psychiatric facility, and when she was discharged Jan. 5 she seemed “much better.”

Patrick Clancy Describes Last Time He Saw Their Children AliveOn Jan. 24, 2023, Lindsay “was having one of her best days,” Patrick testified, per CNN, recalling that his then-wife built a snowman in the yard.”She was playing with the kids,” he said, “and she seemed in a good mood.”That morning she had taken Cora to a doctor’s appointment and he had texted her a picture of Dawson after he “dressed himself completely for the first time.”Patrick told the court he had felt “hopeful” since his wife’s release from the hospital. “Her mood seemed better,” he said. “She was more active, and she was able…to partake in more things.”Before he left to pick up dinner and medication for Cora, he said he kissed one of the kids on the head and told them he’d “be right back.”Prosecutors allege Lindsay sent Patrick on errands to get him out of the house on purpose. Then, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham said in her opening statement, she strangled the children with exercise bands “deliberately and meticulously.”Patrick testified July 29 that no one told him he shouldn’t leave Linday alone with their kids, telling the court, “I didn’t know what psychosis was until after this happened.”

Toxicologist Details Medication Found in Lindsay Clancy’s SystemWhen Lindsay was hospitalized after killing her children and allegedly tried to take her own life, she tested positive for the antidepressant mirtazapine, the mood stabilizer lamotrigine, the antidepressant trazodone and quetiapine, a drug used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe depression, forensic toxicologist Justin Brower testified Aug. 5.He said, per The Guardian, that his lab found that only the level of quetiapine in her blood was slightly elevated, but it wasn’t at a “toxic” or “suicidal concentration.” He further described the levels in her blood as “not consistent” with someone who takes a bunch of pills before trying to end her life. Under defense cross-examination, Brower also said that toxicology results “don’t tell the entire story.”Lindsay’s attorney Kevin Reddington said in his July 28 opening statement that she has bipolar disorder and medication worsened her condition.On the day she killed Cora, Dawson and Callan, Reddington said, she heard a voice telling her, “‘This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself.'”
