Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis announce family plans following mistrial in Lindsay Clancy murder case
Patrick Clancy and his new wife Dr Rachel Danis have confirmed they are starting a family together in their first interview since the mistrial in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial. The couple, who married in April 2024, spoke to 60 Minutes about their future plans, confirming they are 'starting a family' when asked by correspondent Ross Douthat. Patrick Clancy's ex-wife Lindsay was convicted of murdering their three children - Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months) - in January 2023 in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The children were strangled with exercise bands while Patrick was out getting medicine and takeout. Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old labor and delivery nurse, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming severe postpartum depression and psychosis. Her trial ended in a mistrial after 12 jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict, with one juror reportedly refusing to find her not guilty by reason of insanity. Patrick testified at the trial about his wife's deteriorating mental health and the traumatic moment he discovered his children's bodies. He revealed he had become suicidal after the murders but met Rachel, a fertility specialist, in Central Park in January 2024, one year after the tragedy. The couple plans to tell their future child about Patrick's late children. They also addressed baseless online conspiracy theories suggesting Patrick was involved in his children's deaths, with his attorney warning that 'this spread of blatant and baseless falsehoods must stop.' Patrick has forgiven Lindsay for killing their children but continues to defend her, stating she was 'a very dedicated mother' who loved the children 'very much' before her mental health deteriorated. The case now hangs in the balance as the district attorney decides whether to retry Lindsay Clancy, with her defense team filing a motion to acquit her on all charges.
