Patrick Clancy's account of Lindsay Clancy’s mental decline before the killings

Patrick Clancy testified that Lindsay Clancy’s mental health deteriorated in fall 2022, with her starting Zoloft in September, severe insomnia and intrusive thoughts, and a December “spiral” after she began taking Seroquel that led to hospital evaluations and attempts at inpatient treatment. He described his involvement in arranging care, including McLean Hospital, and said Lindsay never described a plan to harm the children; she later spoke of hearing voices. On Jan. 24, 2023, she seemed to be having one of her best days, and Clancy recounted leaving briefly to pick up medication and takeout before discovering the aftermath of the killings. He publicly forgave his ex-wife days later, and the testimony lays out the months‑long timeline of her condition and his role in her care.
