What Lindsay Clancy's Providers Would Have Found If They'd Talked

Not one of the four providers treating Lindsay Clancy before January 24, 2023, ever contacted another to compare notes on her care. Her psychiatrist saw her fourteen times. Her nurse practitioner had no record of those visits. When Clancy admitted herself to a locked psychiatric ward, her outpatient providers were not informed.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers Live to cover what the trial testimony at Plymouth Superior Court has shown about a fractured mental health system and a mother who fell through it.

Clancy messaged her treatment team about thoughts she had never experienced before. She searched for "hallucinations" on her phone. Published research puts postpartum psychosis at one in a thousand births and documents a four percent infanticide rate within that population. Her defense argues she was psychotic when she killed Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months.

She attempted to take her own life immediately after. She jumped from a window, broke her spine, and is permanently paralyzed. She cut her own neck and wrists. Her blood pressure dropped in the ICU and she went into cardiac arrest.

The prosecution says she planned it. Coffindaffer examines whether planning and psychosis can exist in the same person at the same time, and what thirteen psychiatric medications, four disconnected providers, and a treatment program refusal tell an investigator.

Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent.
