Dad of dead kids breaks silence

Patrick Clancy, whose three children were killed by his ex-wife Lindsay in 2023, is speaking out on 60 Minutes after her murder trial ended in a hung jury.

Patrick Clancy, the ex-husband of accused child killer Lindsay Clancy, is set to break his silence in a bombshell 60 Minutes interview this weekend, following the mistrial in his ex-wife’s triple-murder case.

The Long Sip
What happened

Patrick Clancy will give his first public interview on 60 Minutes following the mistrial in his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy's triple-murder case.

The detail

The jury deadlocked after one holdout refused to agree Lindsay was not criminally responsible due to severe post-partum psychosis.

What it means

Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry Lindsay, and the interview has already sparked fierce online backlash against Patrick.

ReturnerAlison
The surveillance footage and phone records are what actually matter here - the article mentions those proved he wasn't at the house, which is the kind of forensic detail that tends to get buried under internet noise. The conspiracy theories seem to have thrived precisely because people weren't engaging with those specific facts.
LebaneseAusNadia
The jury couldn't agree. That's the actual outcome here, not whatever people are arguing online.
BiMumKath
A mistrial and a hung jury means nothing is resolved. This interview won't change that.
GirlsTripAlly
The internet has decided he's guilty based on when he moved house. That's not justice.
OldLin
It is significant that the jury reached a deadlock of 11 to 1 on the insanity defence. The lone holdout essentially prevented a resolution for the family, and now everyone is waiting to see if the prosecution will proceed with a retrial on September 29.

Police records and phone data already confirmed he was not there.
