Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / LINDSAY CLANCY HUSBAND: 8-MONTH-OLD CALLAN "DIED IN MY ARMS"
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Tonight, Lindsay Clancy's husband says his eight-month-old son, Callan, quote,
- 0:07Speaker 1: died in my arms. And tonight, the heartbreak last words
- 0:14Speaker 1: he uttered to his baby boy. Good evening. I'm Nancy Grace.
- 0:19Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for
- 0:21Speaker 1: being with us. Mom slits her own wrist and jumps
- 0:33Speaker 1: out a window after killing all three of her children.
- 0:39Speaker 2: So this is top three worst crime scenes I've ever
- 0:42Speaker 2: been to.
- 0:43Speaker 1: The internet is on fire with sleuths claiming Patrick Clancy
- 0:49Speaker 1: is somehow involved.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Why in the world would this man leave his wife
- 0:53Speaker 3: who's struggling alone with three kids?
- 0:56Speaker 4: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
- 0:59Speaker 4: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. I said,
- 1:04Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him. I
- 1:12Speaker 4: got to lay down next to him. And he died
- 1:17Speaker 4: in my arms.
- 1:19Speaker 1: That is Patrick Clancy. And that is from our friends
- 1:22Speaker 1: at CBS 60 Minutes. Heartbreaking. This guy is battling back
- 1:30Speaker 1: against internet trolls and haters that from the very beginning
- 1:34Speaker 1: has said he is the one responsible for the deaths
- 1:38Speaker 1: of his three children. How many times do I have
- 1:41Speaker 1: to scream it from the mountaintops? Patrick Clancy is not
- 1:45Speaker 1: the one that strangled his three children dead. I don't
- 1:50Speaker 1: think Patrick Clancy had anything to do with the deaths
- 1:52Speaker 1: of his three children. He had nothing to do, as
- 1:55Speaker 1: far as I can analyze the evidence, and believe you me,
- 1:57Speaker 1: if I thought he was involved in any way, I
- 2:00Speaker 1: would be screaming it on the mountaintops. The husband didn't
- 2:02Speaker 1: do it. The pings on his phone, the video here
- 2:05Speaker 1: and other places, his GPS in his car, the pickup
- 2:10Speaker 1: time of the dinner his wife wanted, it all places
- 2:14Speaker 1: him outside the home, At the time the children were murdered,
- 2:18Speaker 1: somebody wants to argue between 532 and 545. He left CVS,
- 2:24Speaker 1: went home, murdered three children, left and came back to
- 2:28Speaker 1: 3V at 545. And then he's home at 609. No,
- 2:34Speaker 1: that did not happen. We can find fault with Patrick
- 2:36Speaker 1: Clancy all day long, all night long. As much as
- 2:39Speaker 1: people want to blame Patrick Clancy, because nobody wants to
- 2:44Speaker 1: Confront that a mother could kill all three of her
- 2:46Speaker 1: children and not just be crazy. Dear Lord in heaven,
- 2:50Speaker 1: can you imagine coming home? You call out for your children.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Nobody answers. Everything's dark. You start looking for them. And
- 2:59Speaker 1: in the words of Patrick Clancy, you see blood as
- 3:04Speaker 1: if it was sprayed with a hose on the wall.
- 3:10Speaker 1: This army... An army of people, legions of people trying
- 3:17Speaker 1: to blame Patrick Clancy. I don't understand why. Now, look
- 3:24Speaker 1: again at the dad of three who lost all of
- 3:28Speaker 1: his children, Patrick Clancy from last night.
- 3:32Speaker 4: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
- 3:34Speaker 4: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. I said,
- 3:39Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him. I
- 3:47Speaker 4: got to lay down next to him. And he died
- 3:52Speaker 4: in my arms.
- 3:54Speaker 1: From our friends at 60 Minutes to Dr. Bethany Marshall
- 3:57Speaker 1: joining us tonight.
- 3:58Speaker 5: Dr.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Bethany, I'm constantly sending you pictures and texts updating you
- 4:02Speaker 1: about my children, you know, going to college and all
- 4:06Speaker 1: those emotions. And I have all that and all he
- 4:11Speaker 1: has left. It's Callan dying in his arms, his baby
- 4:18Speaker 1: just a few months old, and he's grateful, he's thankful
- 4:24Speaker 1: that he got to lay down next to him before
- 4:27Speaker 1: he died. It's excruciating, Bethany. And yet there are hordes
- 4:32Speaker 1: of people out there still, even now, even after last night,
- 4:37Speaker 1: saying he died. is the killer. I don't know how
- 4:40Speaker 1: he did it, but he did it. They're actually saying that.
- 4:43Speaker 1: What is wrong with these people?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Nancy, he's definitely not the killer. As you pointed out earlier,
- 4:49Speaker 2: the evidence does not support that. However, there is something
- 4:52Speaker 2: missing in this interview. There's something missing in his words
- 4:57Speaker 2: that he was grateful he got four more days with Callan.
- 5:00Speaker 2: And what's missing is that Callan struggled. This little boy
- 5:05Speaker 2: had ligatures around his neck. And Patrick is happy he
- 5:09Speaker 2: got four more days, but there's no mention of the
- 5:13Speaker 2: pain and the suffering that this little boy is going through.
- 5:17Speaker 2: It's almost as if the account is whitewashed somehow. When
- 5:21Speaker 2: I treat couples and individuals, I look for both sides
- 5:24Speaker 2: of the story. I look for something called ambivalence. I'm
- 5:27Speaker 2: happy I had four more days with my baby boy,
- 5:31Speaker 2: but there's a part of me that wished he would
- 5:35Speaker 2: have just gone out immediately because He was lying there
- 5:39Speaker 2: struggling with ligature marks around his neck, and I couldn't
- 5:44Speaker 2: bear to see him suffering like that. So I'm looking
- 5:48Speaker 2: for the words that are missing from this interview, not
- 5:52Speaker 2: just the words that are spoken.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I still don't understand, Dr. Bethany, how people and what
- 6:00Speaker 1: fantastical world they live in After Lindsay Clancy and her lawyer,
- 6:06Speaker 1: Kevin Reddington, stand up in court, he stands up in
- 6:09Speaker 1: court and says she did it. Joe Scott Morgan, help
- 6:13Speaker 1: me out. You're the professor of forensics, Jacksonville State University,
- 6:16Speaker 1: author and star of YouTube hit Body Bags with Joe
- 6:19Speaker 1: Scott Morgan. And that little footnote, over 10,000 death scene
- 6:25Speaker 1: investigations under your belt. Repeat, 10,000. Joe Scott, weigh in.
- 6:30Speaker 5: These children suffered and they suffered at the hand of
- 6:34Speaker 5: their mother, who was actually using exercise bands. It's not
- 6:38Speaker 5: like she had the thought to go out and say,
- 6:41Speaker 5: you know what, maybe I'll get something more static, like
- 6:44Speaker 5: a woven rope or maybe a piece of wire. No,
- 6:47Speaker 5: she didn't do that. She got these exercise bands, which
- 6:51Speaker 5: I guess she's been using in the past to exercise with. Oh, wow,
- 6:55Speaker 5: what great facility for these, because every time you apply these,
- 6:58Speaker 5: every time you put tension on these things, okay? You
- 7:03Speaker 5: have to readjust it, all right? So these children would
- 7:06Speaker 5: have struggled for a protracted period of time because that's
- 7:09Speaker 5: what she chose to utilize in order to destroy her children,
- 7:15Speaker 5: which she did in that house in the absence of
- 7:19Speaker 5: their father, okay? I'm trying to use small words so
- 7:23Speaker 5: that maybe this woman can understand.
- 7:26Speaker 1: It's amazing to me. And it's not just Lisa Rinna
- 7:29Speaker 1: and apparently her therapist. It's a Patrick did it. You
- 7:34Speaker 1: have no idea, Joe Scott. I can't even get through
- 7:38Speaker 1: the grocery aisle at Kroger without someone attacking me and
- 7:42Speaker 1: telling me I've got it all wrong that Patrick did it.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 7:45Speaker 6: Patrick claims that he went to CVS and sat in
- 7:47Speaker 6: his car for about 15 minutes. But that is nowhere
- 7:50Speaker 6: seen on the CBS footage. The only thing you see
- 7:52Speaker 6: on the CBS footage is Patrick wearing a different outfit
- 7:55Speaker 6: than from the restaurant where he picked up the food
- 7:57Speaker 6: minutes later and rushing out of CBS after the supposedly
- 8:01Speaker 6: 14-second call from Lindsay.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Okay, now we've got TikTok's at Courtney Dark Diaries. And
- 8:08Speaker 1: there you have it. Shannon Hill is joining us, star
- 8:11Speaker 1: of Shannon Hill News on Insta, who was in the courtroom,
- 8:16Speaker 1: heard the evidence right down to the closing arguments. Somehow online,
- 8:22Speaker 1: forget Patrick Clancy's demeanor last night. What we learned from
- 8:27Speaker 1: everything he said, the details that we learned that I
- 8:31Speaker 1: believe could only have been formulated if you're telling the truth.
- 8:36Speaker 1: But now these online sleuths have figured out how the
- 8:39Speaker 1: CVS footage has been manipulated and that somehow Patrick Clancy
- 8:45Speaker 1: is really responsible for What did we really learn in
- 8:49Speaker 1: the courtroom, Shannon Hill, from the footage?
- 8:54Speaker 7: On the stand, according to the online sleuths, Patrick didn't
- 8:57Speaker 7: cry enough. In last night's 60-minute episode, Patrick cried too much.
- 9:03Speaker 7: They're never happy with any answer they get from Patrick Clancy.
- 9:07Speaker 7: And something we learned about that footage was that little
- 9:09Speaker 7: clip that you showed of that TikToker talking about Patrick.
- 9:13Speaker 8: Where was he?
- 9:14Speaker 7: In the parking lot. Well, there was forensic evidence that
- 9:17Speaker 7: Patrick Clancy was sending emails, sending work emails within that
- 9:21Speaker 7: timeframe that he sat in that CVS parking lot. This
- 9:24Speaker 7: was an investigated case. People forget that this was investigated
- 9:29Speaker 7: when this first happened and brought to the courtroom a
- 9:32Speaker 7: couple of years later. They'll never be happy with any
- 9:36Speaker 7: answer that Patrick Clancy gives to them.
- 9:38Speaker 9: Dr.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Bethany is joining us for now, psychoanalyst, author of Deal Breaker.
- 9:42Speaker 1: You can see her on Bravo. Hulu, Peacock. You can
- 9:48Speaker 1: hear her on her new hit podcast, On the Couch
- 9:51Speaker 1: with Dr. Bethany Marshall. And you can find her at drbethanymarshall.com.
- 9:56Speaker 1: She's not a TV talking head. She's a real psychopath.
- 10:01Speaker 9: Dr.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Bethany now this is off the top of my head
- 10:03Speaker 1: but he said Patrick Clancy said that Cora was brave
- 10:10Speaker 1: and adventurous she loved princesses he said that Dawson loved
- 10:19Speaker 1: Paw Patrol, blues clues, and anything to do with fire
- 10:24Speaker 1: trucks and police trucks. And that baby Callan was just
- 10:31Speaker 1: a happy baby. A happy baby, always smiling. Now, those
- 10:39Speaker 1: are just details that I remember him stating. Again, I
- 10:44Speaker 1: don't understand why. Why it's so hard to get your
- 10:47Speaker 1: mind around the fact that Lindsay Clancy did this thing.
- 10:51Speaker 2: He also, didn't he also talk about Cora loving slots
- 10:55Speaker 2: and he has the handprints of the kids on his
- 10:58Speaker 2: new apartment in New York city. He has a toy
- 11:01Speaker 2: that Dawson used to play with. He has a lot
- 11:03Speaker 2: of memories of these children that he's willing to talk about. Nancy,
- 11:07Speaker 2: people want to make the world a predictable place. And
- 11:11Speaker 2: if they hear about a mother killing her children, which
- 11:14Speaker 2: Lindsay certainly did, that does not fit with their cohesive
- 11:18Speaker 2: narrative of how the world should be. So they make
- 11:21Speaker 2: up their own narrative in their mind. And I think also, Nancy,
- 11:25Speaker 2: men become vilified because women do actually take up most
- 11:30Speaker 2: of the workload with babies. They have to. Babies come
- 11:33Speaker 2: from their bodies. They take the mental workload. They take
- 11:37Speaker 2: the physical workload. There's no way that the father can
- 11:40Speaker 2: step in 100% to alleviate the mother's burden. The father
- 11:46Speaker 2: is just a supportive system. But because of that, fathers
- 11:50Speaker 2: often get thrown under the bus. And I think that's
- 11:53Speaker 2: certainly what we're seeing with Patrick Clancy. Also, there's this
- 11:56Speaker 2: civil suit coming up. So we have to know that
- 12:00Speaker 2: whatever Patrick is saying, he has to really be careful
- 12:03Speaker 2: of what he puts out there, because everything's going to
- 12:06Speaker 2: come forward in that civil suit. So that makes him
- 12:09Speaker 2: sort of quiet, maybe even smug looking, even though I
- 12:13Speaker 2: do not believe he is smug at all. He has
- 12:16Speaker 2: to use words not only for the civil suit for himself, Nancy,
- 12:21Speaker 2: but for Lindsay. So him being quiet in that interview,
- 12:25Speaker 2: him obfuscating details in some benign way is also to
- 12:29Speaker 2: protect his wife, his former wife, Lindsay Clancy's rights in
- 12:35Speaker 2: future lawsuits.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Rarely have I been speechless at a demonstration. That's TikToks
- 12:45Speaker 1: at Millie. Okay, Josh Colesrood, I think I know your
- 12:48Speaker 1: next trial strategy. Only put people on the jury, then
- 12:53Speaker 1: make TikToks like these. You'll win in about five minutes, Colesrood.
- 12:58Speaker 8: Well, Nancy, I mean.
- 13:00Speaker 10: You can't discount the public opinion for what it is.
- 13:05Speaker 10: And I think part of the problem was that the
- 13:07Speaker 10: prosecution didn't do their job.
- 13:10Speaker 8: I mean, this is a very difficult case.
- 13:13Speaker 10: And that's because Massachusetts makes this kind of insanity case
- 13:16Speaker 10: really hard for prosecutors. Now, just hear me out for
- 13:19Speaker 10: a second. Lindsay doesn't have to prove that she was insane.
- 13:23Speaker 11: Right.
- 13:24Speaker 10: And the public opinion wasn't convinced that she was any
- 13:27Speaker 10: way insane. And they got to prove everything beyond a
- 13:30Speaker 10: reasonable doubt. And that's a really high hill to climb.
- 13:33Speaker 10: And I'm not sure that a hung jury is the
- 13:35Speaker 10: wrong outcome, given the complicated fact pattern in this case.
- 13:40Speaker 10: And frankly, you know, the public debate has turned into
- 13:43Speaker 10: a food fight and all the actual evidence is getting
- 13:46Speaker 10: buried under the mess.
- 13:47Speaker 8: This is coming from both sides. I mean, this isn't
- 13:49Speaker 8: a case about a selfish woman.
- 13:50Speaker 10: It's not a case about abortion or the fall of
- 13:53Speaker 10: Western civilization. This is about a fact pattern. a complicated
- 13:58Speaker 10: fact pattern. And the facts ought to matter just a
- 14:01Speaker 10: little bit. So you got a horrific crime scene. You
- 14:03Speaker 10: got psychiatric evidence, the evidence of planning and serious evidence
- 14:07Speaker 10: of mental illness. And then you have Massachusetts telling the
- 14:10Speaker 10: prosecutors to prove that she knew what she was doing
- 14:13Speaker 10: was wrong and prove that she knew that she was
- 14:15Speaker 10: in control of herself.
- 14:16Speaker 8: And that's like a defense that's almost built for a
- 14:20Speaker 8: hung jury.
- 14:21Speaker 10: And this wasn't an easy insanity defense.
- 14:24Speaker 8: This was a sanity defense case for the prosecution.
- 14:27Speaker 10: And it gets even harder because psychiatry is extraordinarily imprecise.
- 14:33Speaker 10: You can't take an x-ray of someone's brain. You can't
- 14:36Speaker 10: take their blood to see what's going on. So anyway,
- 14:39Speaker 10: I'm not surprised by the court of public opinion.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Okay. That was certainly a manifesto.
- 14:47Speaker 12: Dr.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, let me refresh everyone's recollection. The question was,
- 14:54Speaker 1: loading a jury with people like these TikTokers, which I
- 14:58Speaker 1: think Kevin Reddington did a pretty good job at that.
- 15:02Speaker 1: No one ever suggested Patrick Clancy did it, but I've
- 15:07Speaker 1: seen jurors extrapolate the evidence that they've got and come
- 15:11Speaker 1: up with zany theories, just like the one we saw
- 15:13Speaker 1: acting it out with Barbie doll knockoffs.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Nancy, that Barbie doll knockoff is frightening. And you have
- 15:21Speaker 2: no idea how many people in my life come forward
- 15:25Speaker 2: with these crazy, zany, Patrick Clancy theory, did it. People
- 15:29Speaker 2: with PhDs, MDs, Black American Express cards, people who took
- 15:34Speaker 2: their companies public, have these crazy conspiracy theories. And you know, Nancy,
- 15:38Speaker 2: in terms of the jury, it would be really, it
- 15:42Speaker 2: would be so unfortunate to have one of those people
- 15:44Speaker 2: on the jury because being paranoid, And having conspiracy theories
- 15:50Speaker 2: is low-hanging fruit. It's much more difficult to think critically.
- 15:55Speaker 2: And when we think critically, we really have to focus.
- 15:58Speaker 2: We have to concentrate on the science, on the behavioral evidence,
- 16:02Speaker 2: and the fact, Nancy, that she was a woman desperate
- 16:05Speaker 2: for help. She was on multiple medications. And you know, Nancy,
- 16:10Speaker 2: those medications were not at a toxic level. When she
- 16:14Speaker 2: went to the ER and in the hospital afterwards, They
- 16:17Speaker 2: did not, all of those medications were at a subclinical level.
- 16:23Speaker 2: What that means is that they did not rise to
- 16:26Speaker 2: the level of her being overmedicated. She killed those kids,
- 16:32Speaker 2: whether it was a command hallucination, psychosis, she did it,
- 16:36Speaker 2: but the medications did not drive.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Her to do it.
- 16:40Speaker 10: Dr.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Bethany, dare I call you on a psychiatric or a
- 16:44Speaker 1: psychological issue, but.
- 16:48Speaker 1: As I recall, and correct me if I'm wrong, Dave
- 16:50Speaker 1: and Shannon, of all of the 13-ish medications she had
- 16:55Speaker 1: been prescribed, there were only three in her system at
- 16:58Speaker 1: the time. And not only that, there is ample evidence
- 17:06Speaker 1: of intent. So Dr. Bethany Marshall, coming up with all
- 17:14Speaker 1: of these theories and that Patrick Clancy is the killer
- 17:19Speaker 1: is a way for people, including the jury, to avoid
- 17:23Speaker 1: the fact that Lindsay Clancy killed them and you brought
- 17:28Speaker 1: up auditory hallucinations. When the layperson thinks of hallucinations, they
- 17:35Speaker 1: think of something that you see, a visual ideation, a
- 17:40Speaker 1: visual hallucination. But there are also people Auditory, that you
- 17:44Speaker 1: hear hallucinations, which in my experience have been much more
- 17:48Speaker 1: serious than a visual hallucination. But this is a simple yes, no, Bethany.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Isn't it true that auditory hallucinations generally last for a
- 18:01Speaker 1: long period of time? They don't happen the minute you
- 18:05Speaker 1: slam the door behind your husband and in 18 minutes
- 18:08Speaker 1: you've heard the evil male auditory hallucination. And you kill
- 18:12Speaker 1: all three of your children and the whole thing's over.
- 18:14Speaker 1: And you never hear that voice again, neither before nor after.
- 18:20Speaker 1: One time in your life, the first time you hear
- 18:23Speaker 1: a voice saying kill your children, you go, oh, sure,
- 18:26Speaker 1: I'm on my way.
- 18:28Speaker 2: You are correct, Nancy.
- 18:30Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that way.
- 18:33Speaker 2: No, it does not happen. It does not fit any
- 18:35Speaker 2: clinical pattern that I know that you would have command
- 18:38Speaker 2: hallucinations for 18 minutes. But you never had them before.
- 18:43Speaker 2: You never had them afterwards. And wait, get this, Nancy.
- 18:46Speaker 2: The first time you even report command hallucinations is when
- 18:51Speaker 2: the defense medical expert hands you his phone. You asked,
- 18:56Speaker 2: Lindsay asked to talk to her husband. And she says,
- 18:59Speaker 2: a male voice told me to do it. I cannot
- 19:01Speaker 2: help myself. Nancy, that makes no sense. Because if you
- 19:05Speaker 2: had these command hallucinations, you wouldn't be able to describe
- 19:09Speaker 2: them so clearly. And to me, it seems like she
- 19:12Speaker 2: was malingering a defense at that point. No, you cannot
- 19:16Speaker 2: have them for 18 minutes and never have them before
- 19:19Speaker 2: or never have them afterwards. I have never seen a
- 19:23Speaker 2: case like that.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Dr.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, that is extremely astute. Let me understand this
- 19:29Speaker 1: to Shannon Hill or Dave Mack. Is that correct? That
- 19:33Speaker 1: the first, the very first time Lindsay Clancy told anybody
- 19:38Speaker 1: about that she had been told by a male voice
- 19:41Speaker 1: to murder her children was when the defense expert handed
- 19:47Speaker 1: her a cell phone and she told her, her husband
- 19:51Speaker 1: that's why she killed them, a male voice told her to.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Is that correct, Shannon Hill?
- 19:57Speaker 7: Nancy, that is correct. And the strange thing about this
- 20:01Speaker 7: very first phone call she makes to Patrick when she
- 20:04Speaker 7: is in the ICU is that psychiatrist Dr. Weisel is
- 20:09Speaker 7: in the room with her and hands her his phone,
- 20:11Speaker 7: which he wasn't technically supposed to do. She dials Patrick
- 20:16Speaker 7: and she tells him one of two things. She wants
- 20:19Speaker 7: to find out where they stand. And then secondly, she
- 20:22Speaker 7: tells him that she heard a voice, a male voice,
- 20:27Speaker 7: never mentions anything about the children. And that is the
- 20:30Speaker 7: full length of their discussion, according to what was said
- 20:33Speaker 7: in the courtroom. And according to Patrick Clancy in the
- 20:36Speaker 7: 60 Minutes episode yesterday that we all watched, Lindsay never
- 20:39Speaker 7: asked for forgiveness and they never really seemed to talk
- 20:43Speaker 7: about the kids all that much.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Well, Shannon Hill, you're absolutely correct. She never asked, forgive me,
- 20:53Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Has she ever asked for your forgiveness? No, but I
- 20:59Speaker 4: gave it to her.
- 21:00Speaker 1: From our friends at 60 Minutes, you know, Dave Mack,
- 21:05Speaker 1: In all of our sifting through the evidence, all of
- 21:09Speaker 1: our listening to the testimony, Dave Mack, Crime Stories investigative reporter,
- 21:14Speaker 1: I never heard her talk about remorse.
- 21:18Speaker 8: Not one word, Nancy.
- 21:20Speaker 11: You know, when you get to the heart and soul
- 21:22Speaker 11: of forgiveness, it's really for the individual providing the forgiveness.
- 21:27Speaker 11: She didn't ask for it. Patrick Lindsay gave it to
- 21:30Speaker 11: her without her asking. She still hasn't asked for, she
- 21:34Speaker 11: hasn't shown any remorse, Nancy. Not at all.
- 21:36Speaker 5: Not one bit.
- 21:37Speaker 9: I think I did the best I could with what
- 21:44Speaker 9: I had at the time. And I live with the outcome.
- 21:49Speaker 9: I live with it every day.
- 21:50Speaker 4: I talk to them.
- 21:52Speaker 12: What do you say?
- 21:54Speaker 9: Help me. All the time.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Do they help you?
- 22:03Speaker 9: I like to believe they do.
- 22:10Speaker 4: It's a way I stay connected to them.
- 22:14Speaker 1: I believe him. If you notice the way that he
- 22:18Speaker 1: is speaking, there's no pauses, there's no rapid blinking. He
- 22:26Speaker 1: is facially corresponding to what he's saying. He's not thinking
- 22:34Speaker 1: for long periods of time, devising an answer, and so
- 22:39Speaker 1: much more. Dr. Bethany, I believe him, and I do
- 22:45Speaker 1: not know what is wrong with these people that want
- 22:48Speaker 1: to crucify him.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Nancy, it's really easier to blame the father than it
- 22:54Speaker 2: is to blame the mother. The fact that a mother
- 22:56Speaker 2: could kill her children is just so unthinkable. But Nancy,
- 23:00Speaker 2: he was brave. to do this interview and this idea
- 23:03Speaker 2: that he's asking his children for help. That tells me
- 23:07Speaker 2: that he does believe in God, a creator, and that
- 23:10Speaker 2: his children have gone on to some other place and
- 23:13Speaker 2: the relationship with them continues in some form. And when
- 23:18Speaker 2: a person of faith like Patrick believes that that relationship
- 23:23Speaker 2: is continuing and he continues to talk to them, that
- 23:27Speaker 2: is not a sign of somebody who kills their children.
- 23:30Speaker 2: You and I have covered So many stories of parents
- 23:33Speaker 2: who've killed infants, committed a filicide, a fantaside. You know
- 23:37Speaker 2: what they do? They throw all the baby toys, the
- 23:40Speaker 2: baby pictures, the books, the everything into the dumpster outside.
- 23:43Speaker 2: That's what you do when you're guilty. You don't talk
- 23:46Speaker 2: to your children while they're in heaven with God.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, Dr. Bethany Marshall? You just made
- 23:52Speaker 1: so many family annihilator dads go through my mind. And
- 23:56Speaker 1: I specifically thought of Chris Watts. Oh, I just thought
- 24:00Speaker 1: of another one, Scott Peterson. But let's go with Chris Watts.
- 24:02Speaker 1: When Chris Watts was being interrogated, he never cried. He
- 24:08Speaker 1: only talked about himself and what was wrong with his wife, Shanann,
- 24:13Speaker 1: that he murdered. And put her in a shallow grave
- 24:17Speaker 1: where she had coffin birth and gave birth to baby
- 24:19Speaker 1: Nico post-mortem. no tears, nothing. And stark contrast to what
- 24:29Speaker 1: we are seeing with Patrick Clancy. And then you've got
- 24:31Speaker 1: Scott Peterson who had to go to try to make
- 24:35Speaker 1: his eyes water up, spoke of his wife in the
- 24:39Speaker 1: past tense. We never saw even a smidgen of the
- 24:45Speaker 1: heartfelt emotion that we're seeing with Patrick Clancy. And I
- 24:50Speaker 1: don't think you can fake it. Call me naive. No
- 24:53Speaker 1: one ever has done that. But I just don't think
- 24:56Speaker 1: you can fake what we saw with Clancy last night.
- 24:59Speaker 2: You can't, Nancy. And if you want to tell an
- 25:01Speaker 2: abuser from a non-abuser, anybody in marriages or relationships or
- 25:06Speaker 2: have children who are abusive, adult children, ask yourself, do
- 25:11Speaker 2: they speak positively of the victim or do they speak negatively?
- 25:17Speaker 2: These family annihilators, they disparage, they demean, they criticize people.
- 25:21Speaker 2: the deceased wives, the deceased children, and that is the
- 25:26Speaker 2: litmus test. But if they speak positively.
- 25:29Speaker 3: If they have toys, if they have the baby sloth,
- 25:33Speaker 3: the beaten up toy, the handprints on the wall, and
- 25:38Speaker 3: they're memorializing their children, and they're talking well, speaking well
- 25:43Speaker 3: of the children, that is a sign that they.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Are not an abuser and not a perpetrator.
- 25:50Speaker 1: When I saw the ceramic last night of the three
- 25:57Speaker 1: children's handprints, all I could think of, which I've shown
- 26:03Speaker 1: you before, I don't know if you remember, of the
- 26:05Speaker 1: handprints and the footprints are that big of the twins
- 26:09Speaker 1: when they were born that I made and put up
- 26:12Speaker 1: on the wall. It just, he's got that on his mantel.
- 26:19Speaker 1: displayed in his home now. And I find it very
- 26:24Speaker 1: difficult to believe that a guy that murdered his three
- 26:27Speaker 1: children would have that memento out. That said, after the
- 26:33Speaker 1: trolls attack on Clancy as being the killer, now somehow
- 26:38Speaker 1: they're blaming his new wife.
- 26:40Speaker 12: Pat pulls out his phone to pay. And I noticed
- 26:44Speaker 12: this adorable photo of children as the wallpaper. And I
- 26:49Speaker 12: just asked, who are those cuties? And Pat had said,
- 26:51Speaker 12: those are my kids. And then I think I asked
- 26:55Speaker 12: if they live in Massachusetts. And Pat said they died.
- 26:58Speaker 12: I don't understand how the story has been so twisted.
- 27:03Speaker 12: But I would hope people know that Pat is, as
- 27:10Speaker 12: I said before, the most selfless father and supportive partner.
- 27:19Speaker 12: And I was just a girl that met a guy
- 27:21Speaker 12: running in Central Park on a really cold Saturday. And
- 27:27Speaker 12: I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
- 27:30Speaker 1: From our friends at 60 Minutes to Shannon Hill joining us.
- 27:33Speaker 1: She's a star of Shannon Hill News on Insta. Shannon,
- 27:37Speaker 1: much has been made amongst the conspiracy theorists that somehow
- 27:43Speaker 1: Patrick Clancy and maybe even his new wife had a
- 27:45Speaker 1: hand in his children's death. That The two of them
- 27:49Speaker 1: had had some sex affair prior to the deaths, and
- 27:54Speaker 1: that was his motive for murder. I did not hear
- 27:58Speaker 1: and have not heard one thing to substantiate that claim.
- 28:03Speaker 7: Nancy, also the public continues to run wild with that
- 28:07Speaker 7: one little clip we just saw of Dr. Rachel Danis saying,
- 28:10Speaker 7: I was just a girl who ran into a guy
- 28:13Speaker 7: on a cold Saturday and Because this line is sort
- 28:16Speaker 7: of reminiscent of the 51st States movie. So when they
- 28:20Speaker 7: did not play that in the 60 Minutes interview yesterday,
- 28:23Speaker 7: but they showed it in the promo, the public has
- 28:25Speaker 7: now taken that and run with it. Here's the thing.
- 28:28Speaker 7: These people are saying that they met after Patrick had
- 28:32Speaker 7: moved to New York.
- 28:33Speaker 2: He wanted anonymity. He wanted privacy.
- 28:35Speaker 7: He moved to New York to get away from Duxbury,
- 28:38Speaker 7: which is a small town. I don't think there's anything
- 28:41Speaker 7: wrong with a man who just lost his three children
- 28:44Speaker 7: and wife to really start over and start something new.
- 28:48Speaker 7: He talks about how on baby Callan's one year birthday,
- 28:51Speaker 7: he walks into the St. Patrick's Cathedral and lights a
- 28:55Speaker 7: candle for baby Callan and walks out in New York
- 28:59Speaker 7: City and is crying, but was sort of relieved because
- 29:02Speaker 7: nobody was watching him because he had that level of privacy.
- 29:05Speaker 7: This man had to start over and he did that
- 29:08Speaker 7: with Dr.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Rachel. We are learning tonight reports indicating that Dr. Rachel
- 29:16Speaker 1: is pregnant with their first child. This, Dave Mack, as
- 29:22Speaker 1: we are learning that Lindsey Clancy's defense attorney is demanding
- 29:26Speaker 1: the judge investigate the holdout, Gerard. Let me see Dave Mack.
- 29:32Speaker 1: And Dave Mack, let me remind everybody that as much
- 29:37Speaker 1: as Reddington wants to scream and whine and throw a
- 29:40Speaker 1: tantrum about the juror, the holdout juror, he selected that
- 29:44Speaker 1: juror too. It's not like the state went to Walmart,
- 29:48Speaker 1: picked him up and sat him on the jury. He
- 29:50Speaker 1: also selected that juror.
- 29:52Speaker 11: Nancy, the defense is now asking that The confidential questionnaire,
- 30:01Speaker 11: the background check results, all the records concerning an alleged
- 30:06Speaker 11: 2021 prosecution about abuse prevention order, records, his cell phone
- 30:12Speaker 11: metadata from his days of deliberation, a limited forensic examination
- 30:17Speaker 11: of the phone allegedly carried into the jury room. The
- 30:21Speaker 11: defense also wants this juror to be questioned under oath, Nancy,
- 30:26Speaker 11: under oath about the voir dire answers that he gave
- 30:30Speaker 11: in the September 3rd assurances on whether or not he
- 30:35Speaker 11: used his phone and received outside information during deliberations. They
- 30:39Speaker 11: want all of this on the record and they're demanding
- 30:41Speaker 11: it right now from a juror who was supposed to
- 30:45Speaker 11: be anonymous.
- 30:47Speaker 1: With us, death investigator and star of the YouTube hit
- 30:50Speaker 1: Body Bags with Joe Scott Morgan. Just a quick reality
- 30:55Speaker 1: check on how these three children died and what they endured?
- 31:01Speaker 5: It was not quick. It was not. And here's the thing,
- 31:07Speaker 5: you know, that kind of roadmaps it out for me.
- 31:09Speaker 5: When you're talking.
- 31:10Speaker 13: About these two precious babies that were dead, the older,
- 31:16Speaker 13: the older of the two of the three, they've got
- 31:20Speaker 13: petechiae all through their eyes.
- 31:22Speaker 5: And what that means is little pinprick hemorrhages. that came
- 31:26Speaker 5: about as a result of the pressure that their little
- 31:30Speaker 5: vascular system was under as a life was literally choked
- 31:35Speaker 5: out of them over this period of time. And this
- 31:37Speaker 5: was not quick, Nancy. This brain death would not have
- 31:40Speaker 5: occurred in a short order. It probably would have taken
- 31:44Speaker 5: probably about eight to 10 minutes. And I think that
- 31:47Speaker 5: that has actually been testified to. This is not like,
- 31:50Speaker 5: you know, some case where we've talked about using gunfire, Nancy.
- 31:55Speaker 5: This was long and excruciating. And these precious angels, you know,
- 32:00Speaker 5: this is being done at the hand of their mother.
- 32:03Speaker 5: Just let that sink in just for a second as
- 32:05Speaker 5: their life is literally being taken away from them. One
- 32:10Speaker 5: last breath. They can't catch their breath. They're struggling. They're
- 32:14Speaker 5: struggling so difficult. And as a matter of fact, the
- 32:17Speaker 5: color in their faces would have changed. It would have
- 32:20Speaker 5: turned almost purple. So that's what we're faced with. That's
- 32:23Speaker 5: what's left behind. And now Patrick, all he can do
- 32:26Speaker 5: is go visit a grave. But yet she continues to thrive,
- 32:30Speaker 5: whether she's in custody or wherever she is. And he's
- 32:33Speaker 5: left with his memory names.
- 32:38Speaker 1: If you know or think you know anything regarding this case, remember,
- 32:44Speaker 1: The state and the defense are starting a square one,
- 32:49Speaker 1: rebuilding their cases. Dial 781-934-5656.
- 32:53Speaker 12: Repeat, 781-934-5656.
- 32:53Speaker 1: We remember an American hero, Deputy Constable Heather Avery, Jefferson
- 32:57Speaker 1: County Constables, Texas. killed in the line of duty, leaving
- 33:16Speaker 1: behind her husband-turned-widow, Troy, and daughter, Caitlin, American hero, Deputy
- 33:25Speaker 1: Constable Heather Avery. Thank you to our guests, but especially
- 33:31Speaker 1: to you for being with us tonight. Nancy Grace signing
- 33:34Speaker 1: off for tonight, but God willing, I'll see you tomorrow night.
- 33:39Speaker 1: And until then, good night, friends.
- 33:43Speaker 12: Thank you.
