What Lindsay Clancy Did With The Kids That Afternoon

Before any of it, there was a snowman.

Patrick Clancy testified that on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, his wife built one in the yard with their three children and then did art projects with them inside. That morning she had taken five-year-old Cora to a doctor's appointment while he stayed home with the boys, and the two of them had traded photos by text. Three-year-old Dawson had dressed himself for the first time.

He told the jury she was having one of her best days.

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what that afternoon is worth to each side.

The Commonwealth wants it as proof of a clear mind. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors this was not a woman in the throes of psychosis. The defense needs those same hours to point somewhere else.

The episode also covers what prosecutors say happened after the art projects. A drive plotted from the house to a restaurant nobody in the family had tried, then on to a pharmacy. A shopping list with dinner on it and children's medicine under it. An errand that emptied the house.

Dreeke takes on the behavioral question directly. What does a genuinely good day tell you about the mind having it, and what does it fail to tell you?

Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. Their mother has pleaded not guilty and does not dispute causing their deaths, which leaves a jury of twelve women and six men to decide what she understood while it happened.

The trial is expected to run six to eight weeks.
