Story summary

Patrick Clancy, former delivery nurse from Duxbury, Mass., gave his first interview since his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, was declared mistrial for killing their three children – Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months) – in January 2023. In the interview with CBS's Ross Douthat, Patrick revealed he speaks to his deceased kids "all the time," asking them for help. The mistrial resulted from a hung jury after an 11-1 deadlock.

Lindsay Clancy’s defense team argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and could not be held criminally responsible. Her ex-husband, who remarried fertility doctor Rachel Danis in April, now lives in New York City and faces ongoing attacks on social media accusing him of involvement in the murders.

Patrick and his new wife will appear together on 60 Minutes Sunday, discussing grief, mental health, and addressing conspiracy theories that have circulated online.
