Lindsay Clancy trial: A book named “Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts” — discovered by police in a kitchen cabinet at the Clancys’ residence in Duxbury, Massachusetts , following Lindsay Clancy’s act of strangling her three children in the basement — was suggested by one of the professionals who was treating her for postpartum anxiety.
What Happened
Prosecutors assert that on January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy killed her children — Cora, 5 years old, Dawson, 3 years old, and Callan, 8 months old — after dispatching her then-husband Patrick to run some errands. In January 2026, the mother, who has been accused of murder, initiated a malpractice lawsuit against medical professionals, hospitals, and a nurse, alleging that they failed to identify her bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis, which she claims contributed to the tragic incident of strangling her three children. Later, she jumped from the second floor of the house and became paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the fall.
The jurors were shown a photographic evidence of the book earlier during the trial.
