Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband says he forgave her for killing children in first televised interview
He said the killings were tied to mental illness and described months of grief, panic and online accusations after the mistrial.
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Patrick Clancy gave his first televised interview to CBS News' "60 Minutes," addressing the grief of losing his three children and his public criticism of online conspiracy theories.
- The interview followed a mistrial declared September 4, 2026, after jurors deadlocked in the case of Lindsay Clancy, who was accused of strangling their three children in 2023 while experiencing postpartum psychosis.
- Patrick, who revealed he once struggled with suicidal thoughts, expressed forgiveness for Lindsay, stating "I think mental illness has this ability to be tragically deceptive, so I'm sure there were things I didn't see."
- Dr. Rachel Danis, whom Patrick married in April 2026, joined the interview to defend their relationship while attempting to support him and honor the memory of his children.
- Addressing online rumors, Patrick called claims that he was connected to the deaths "deeply harmful," arguing they distract from perinatal health conversations and have caused real harm to those involved.
