Case Overview
Three children died in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. Their mother, Lindsay Clancy, was charged with murder and strangulation. Her 2026 trial ended in a mistrial without a verdict.
On January 24, 2023, emergency responders in Duxbury, Massachusetts, found three children, Cora Clancy (5), Dawson Clancy (3), and Callan Clancy (8 months), gravely injured in their home. All three died. Their mother, Lindsay Clancy, was later charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation or suffocation. She pleaded not guilty. The defense argued that severe postpartum psychiatric illness affected her criminal responsibility; prosecutors contested that explanation. After a 2026 trial, jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict and a mistrial was declared on September 4, 2026. As of October 13, 2026, there is no final criminal verdict and questions regarding further proceedings remain pending. The charges are allegations, not a conviction.
