- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.
- 0:03Speaker 2: I'm Sydney Silvani. We begin today with a heartbreaking update
- 0:08Speaker 2: in a tragedy that shocked the nation. Patrick Clancy is
- 0:12Speaker 2: speaking out publicly about the final emotional moments he shared
- 0:15Speaker 2: with his eight-month-old son, Callan, revealing the devastating last words
- 0:20Speaker 2: he spoke to the infant before the boy passed away.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It's been more than three years since the nightmare unfolded
- 0:26Speaker 2: inside the Clancy family home located in Duxbury, Massachusetts. On
- 0:31Speaker 2: January 24, 2023, Patrick returned home from running routine errands
- 0:36Speaker 2: to discover a horrifying scene. His ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, had
- 0:40Speaker 2: strangled their three young children, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and
- 0:44Speaker 2: eight-month-old Callen, using exercise bands before attempting suicide by jumping
- 0:49Speaker 2: directly from a second-story window. Lindsay survived the fall, left
- 0:54Speaker 2: partially paralyzed, while Cora and Dawson were tragically pronounced dead
- 0:58Speaker 2: shortly after emergency crews arrived. Eight-month-old Callen, however, clung to life.
- 1:04Speaker 2: For four excruciating days, the infant's heart kept beating as
- 1:08Speaker 2: medical staff worked around the clock. In a candid interview
- 1:11Speaker 2: with 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat on CBS News, Patrick
- 1:16Speaker 2: described holding on to hope during those critical days, praying
- 1:19Speaker 2: desperately for a miracle that at least one of his
- 1:22Speaker 2: beloved children would survive. He recalled thinking that if he
- 1:26Speaker 2: could just have one child left, he would raise him
- 1:29Speaker 2: as best he could and tell him about his lost
- 1:31Speaker 2: brother and sister. But when he arrived at the hospital,
- 1:35Speaker 2: the doctor's somber expression delivered the grim reality that Callan
- 1:38Speaker 2: would not survive. In an emotional segment aired on 60 Minutes,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Patrick recalled the devastating final moments in the hospital room
- 1:46Speaker 2: with his baby boy.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for those four days that I had
- 1:51Speaker 1: with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. I said,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him. I
- 2:04Speaker 1: got to lay down next to him. And he died
- 2:09Speaker 1: in my arms.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Following that heartbreaking moment broadcast on CBS News, Patrick shared
- 2:14Speaker 2: that he continues to write tributes to Cora, Dawson, and Callen,
- 2:18Speaker 2: speaking to them regularly and asking them for daily guidance. Meanwhile,
- 2:23Speaker 2: legal proceedings surrounding the tragic deaths remain unsolved. Lindsay Clancy
- 2:28Speaker 2: has never denied killing her three children, but she has
- 2:31Speaker 2: pleaded not guilty to murder charges, citing a total lack
- 2:34Speaker 2: of criminal responsibility. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argued Lindsay was
- 2:39Speaker 2: experiencing severe postpartum psychosis, hearing voices telling her to kill
- 2:44Speaker 2: her children and herself. Prosecutors maintained throughout a five-week trial
- 2:49Speaker 2: that the killings were premeditated. That trial ended in a
- 2:52Speaker 2: mistrial on September 4 after a jury deliberated seven days
- 2:56Speaker 2: without reaching a verdict. The jury was split 11-1, with
- 3:00Speaker 2: the majority favoring not guilty by reason of lack of
- 3:03Speaker 2: criminal responsibility. Lindsay remains held on suicide watch at a
- 3:07Speaker 2: state psychiatric hospital ahead of a September 29th court hearing.
- 3:12Speaker 2: During a 60 Minutes interview, Patrick defended Lindsay, rejecting headlines
- 3:16Speaker 2: labeling her a monster and attributing the tragedy entirely to
- 3:20Speaker 2: severe mental illness. Patrick has since remarried, and he and
- 3:24Speaker 2: his wife, Dr. Rachel Dannis, revealed they are starting a family.
- 3:29Speaker 2: More crime and justice news after this. In Kissimmee, Florida,
- 3:34Speaker 2: a mother faces attempted murder and severe abuse charges after
- 3:38Speaker 2: authorities say she deliberately tried to poison her two adult
- 3:41Speaker 2: sons before attempting to end her own life. The Osceola
- 3:45Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies responded to a home
- 3:49Speaker 2: on Indian Ridge Trail South shortly after 10 a.m. on
- 3:52Speaker 2: September 8 following an emergency overdose call. Responders found 68-year-old
- 3:57Speaker 2: Marilyn Elise Therrell and her two sons, ages 30 and 32,
- 4:01Speaker 2: suffering from medication overdoses. All three were rushed to a hospital.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Following evidence collection and detailed interviews with a family member
- 4:10Speaker 2: and landlord, investigators determined the overdoses were intentional. During a
- 4:15Speaker 2: September 17 interrogation, Therrell allegedly confessed that caring for her sons,
- 4:20Speaker 2: both of whom have autism, has become increasingly difficult since
- 4:23Speaker 2: her husband's death last year. She admitted giving her sons
- 4:27Speaker 2: lethal doses in an attempt to kill them before overdosing herself.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Therrell faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two
- 4:35Speaker 2: counts of aggravated abuse of a disabled adult, with bonds
- 4:38Speaker 2: set at $ 50, 000. All three are expected to survive, and
- 4:42Speaker 2: the sons will be placed with Adult Protective Services upon discharge.
- 4:47Speaker 2: In Long Island, New York, a 33-year-old man stands accused
- 4:51Speaker 2: of fatally stabbing his father over 40 times, with authorities
- 4:54Speaker 2: revealing the 69-year-old victim managed to call 911 during the
- 4:58Speaker 2: fatal attack. Suffolk County Police responded to a Mastic Studio
- 5:03Speaker 2: apartment around 12.30 a.m. on September 7 after Edward Brown
- 5:07Speaker 2: called 911, reporting he was being stabbed. Prosecutors say Edward's son,
- 5:12Speaker 2: 33-year-old Sage Arias Brown, entered the apartment. A neighbor heard
- 5:17Speaker 2: a bang and screaming, while Edward frantically screamed on the
- 5:20Speaker 2: 911 call, I'm being murdered. What are you doing to me, Sage?
- 5:25Speaker 2: Sage left minutes later and was arrested half a mile away.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Edward was found covered in blood and died at the scene.
- 5:32Speaker 2: An autopsy revealed over 40 stab wounds. District Attorney Raymond
- 5:36Speaker 2: Tierney condemned the brutal crime, while an obituary remembered Edward
- 5:40Speaker 2: as a gentle social worker and musician. Sage is held
- 5:43Speaker 2: without bail, facing 25 years to life. For more crime
