Lindsay Clancy, the nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, has been in the headlines ever since information about the tragic incident in which she killed her three kids leaked. Lindsay was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty to the deaths of her children, Cora (5 years old), Dawson (3 years old), and Callan (8 months old).
While prosecutors claimed that Lindsay preplanned the murder of her three kids, her attorney didn’t defend the same; however, according to him, the nurse should not be pleaded guilty, as what she did was due to her mental illness. Lindsay was suffering from postpartum psychosis, allegedly bipolar disorder as well. The trial in this case resumed on Monday (August 17, 2026) in Plymouth Superior Court, where Lindsay’s mom and sister testified.
Lindsay Clancy sent her mom a desperate text
Lindsay Clancy’s mom, Paula Musgrove, described her daughter as a ‘dedicated’ mother who would do anything for her kids. In court, Lindsay’s mom revealed that her daughter’s mental health started to decline in October 2022, three months before she strangled her kids to death. Paula showed a text in court that she received from Lindsay describing her condition.
