Lindsay Clancy’s Ex Patrick Says He Talks to Their Children ‘All the Time’ 3 Years After Their Deaths

Patrick Clancy opened up in his first television interview since ex-wife Lindsay Clancy‘s mistrial, revealing that he still talks to their three children more than three years after their deaths.

In a preview of his upcoming 60 Minutes interview that was shared on Thursday, September 17, Patrick, 38, said he still speaks to his three kids, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan, more than three years after their deaths in January 2023.

“I talk to them,” Patrick told CBS correspondent Ross Douthat in a preview released Thursday, September 17. Asked what he tells them, he replied, “‘Help me.’ All the time.”

The sit-down is Patrick’s first interview since Lindsay’s murder trial ended in a mistrial Friday, September 4. In the years since the deaths, Patrick has divorced Lindsay, remarried New York fertility doctor Rachel Danis and moved from Duxbury, Massachusetts, to New York.

Lindsay, 36, admitted to killing Cora, Dawson and Callan at the family’s Duxbury home in January 2023. Her defense argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for the killings.

As Globe previously reported, jurors deliberated for more than 38 hours over seven days before Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial. The panel ultimately split 11-1, with all but one juror prepared to find Lindsay not criminally responsible by reason of insanity.

Patrick, who has publicly said he forgives his former wife after the tragedy, served as the prosecution’s first witness at trial.

During his emotional testimony at the trial in July, he described Lindsay as a loving mother who made up songs with the children and prepared special meals, including green eggs and ham, per NewsNation.

Patrick has largely stayed out of the spotlight since the killings, though he has made several public statements about Lindsay and his children. Days after their deaths, he wrote on a family GoFundMe, “I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have.”

He spoke to The New Yorker in 2024 about his life since the murders. Patrick later issued a statement through his legal team after the mistrial, saying the loss of his children was something from which he would “never recover” and that the prospect of another trial would be “extraordinarily painful.”

More recently, Patrick’s attorney, Howard Cooper, has condemned what he called an escalating misinformation campaign falsely accusing Patrick of involvement in his children’s deaths.

Cooper said the claims have resulted in threats against Patrick and his family and indicated that legal action against those spreading them could follow.

Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will retry Lindsay. Patrick’s full 60 Minutes interview airs Sunday, September 20, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+.
