Jury Hears Lindsay Clancy’s 2023 Search and Phone Data in Trial Over 3 Children’s Deaths

3 articles · Updated · NBC Boston · Aug 13

Summary

  • Police testimony Thursday walked jurors through data from the Clancy family laptop and Lindsay Clancy’s cellphone, including Google searches and text messages with her mother.
  • The evidence goes to prosecutors’ claim that Clancy, 36, strangled her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — on Jan. 24, 2023 after sending her husband out.
  • Investigators also revisited the aftermath: Clancy jumped from a second-story window and was left paralyzed from the waist down, while the case officer confirmed his role through scene images.
  • The defense argues Clancy was experiencing bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis, making criminal responsibility the central issue as testimony continues.
