Episode Details

The trial for Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three young children in January 2023, has begun — and it’s a chilling look at the depths of postpartum mental illness. Clancy admitted to strangling her kids with exercise bands before attempting suicide, leaving her paralyzed. Her defense argues she suffered a psychotic break due to severe mental illness and was seeking help. The jury will hear from her ex-husband, who found the bodies and called 911 — though that call won’t be made public. This case forces us to confront how mental health crises, especially after childbirth, can spiral into tragedy — and whether criminal responsibility can ever be clear-cut.
