• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about the final emotional moments he shared with his eight-month-old son, Callan,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: revealing the devastating last words he spoke to the infant
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: before the boy passed away. It's been more than three
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: years since the nightmare unfolded inside the Clancy family home
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: located in Duxbury, Massachusetts. On January 24, 2023, Patrick returned
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: home from running routine errands to discover a horrifying scene.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: His ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, had strangled their three young children,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callen, using exercise bands
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: before attempting suicide by jumping directly from a second-story window.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Lindsay survived the fall, left partially paralyzed, while Cora and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Dawson were tragically pronounced dead shortly after emergency crews arrived.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Eight-month-old Callen, however, clung to life. For four excruciating days,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the infant's heart kept beating as medical staff worked around
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the clock. In a candid interview with 60 Minutes correspondent
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Ross Douthat on CBS News, Patrick described holding on to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: hope during those critical days, praying desperately for a miracle
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that at least one of his beloved children would survive.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: He recalled thinking that if he could just have one
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: child left, he would raise him as best he could
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and tell him about his lost brother and sister. But
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: when he arrived at the hospital, the doctor's somber expression
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: delivered the grim reality that Callan would not survive. In
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: an emotional segment aired on 60 Minutes, Patrick recalled the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: devastating final moments in the hospital room with his baby boy.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. I said,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: got to lay down next to him. And he died
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in my arms. Following that heartbreaking moment broadcast on CBS News,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Patrick shared that he continues to write tributes to Cora,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Dawson and Callen, speaking to them regularly and asking them
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for daily guidance. Meanwhile, legal proceedings surrounding the tragic deaths
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: remain unsolved. Lindsay Clancy has never denied killing her three children,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but she has pleaded not guilty to murder charges, citing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a total lack of criminal responsibility. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: argued Lindsay was experiencing severe postpartum psychosis, hearing voices telling
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: her to kill her children and herself. Prosecutors maintained throughout
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a five-week trial that the killings were premeditated. That trial
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: ended in a mistrial on September 4 after a jury
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: deliberated seven days without reaching a verdict. The jury was
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: split 11-1, with the majority favoring not guilty by reason
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of lack of criminal responsibility. Lindsay remains held on suicide
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: watch at a state psychiatric hospital ahead of a September
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: 29th court hearing. During a 60 Minutes interview, Patrick defended Lindsay,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: rejecting headlines labeling her a monster and attributing the tragedy
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: entirely to severe mental illness. Patrick has since remarried, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: he and his wife, Dr. Rachel Dannis, revealed they are
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: starting a family. More crime and justice news after this.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: In Kissimmee, Florida, a mother faces attempted murder and severe
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: abuse charges after authorities say she deliberately tried to poison
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: her two adult sons before attempting to end her own life.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: The Osceola County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies responded to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a home on Indian Ridge Trail South shortly after 10 a.m.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: on September 8th following an emergency overdose call. Responders found
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: 68-year-old Marilyn Elise Therrell and her two sons, ages 30
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and 32, suffering from medication overdoses. All three were rushed
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to a hospital. Following evidence collection and detailed interviews with
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a family member and landlord, investigators determined the overdoses were intentional.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: During a September 17 interrogation, Therrell allegedly confessed that caring
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for her sons, both of whom have autism, has become
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: increasingly difficult since her husband's death last year. She admitted
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: giving her sons lethal doses in an attempt to kill
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: them before overdosing herself. Therrell faces two counts of attempted
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated abuse of a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: disabled adult, with bonds set at $ 50, 000. All three are
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: expected to survive, and the sons will be placed with
• 4:44

• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a 33-year-old man stands accused of fatally stabbing his father
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: over 40 times, with authorities revealing the 69-year-old victim managed
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to call 911 during the fatal attack. Suffolk County Police
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: responded to a Mastic Studio apartment around 12.30 a.m. on
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: September 7 after Edward Brown called 911, reporting he was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: being stabbed. Prosecutors say Edward's son, 33-year-old Sage Arias Brown,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: entered the apartment. A neighbor heard a bang and screaming,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: while Edward frantically screamed on the 911 call, I'm being murdered.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: What are you doing to me, Sage? Sage left minutes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: later and was arrested half a mile away. Edward was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: found covered in blood and died at the scene. An
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: autopsy revealed over 40 stab wounds. District Attorney Raymond Tierney
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: condemned the brutal crime, while an obituary remembered Edward as
• 5:40
