A true crime influencer has been charged with wiretapping after police say she posted a secret recording of a call with Patrick Clancy's father, who told investigators he accidentally answered the call.
Shawna Gramkow, who operates several true crime accounts on social media and boasts a following of more than 50,000, was charged with felony unlawful wiretapping on Oct. 20 in relation to an incident that happened on Sept. 4 involving Patrick Clancy's father, Christopher Clancy, police said in an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital.
Police said Gramkow posted a video to Instagram on Aug. 30 of an unknown individual calling a phone number she claimed belonged to Patrick Clancy after Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, read the number aloud during the murder trial.
"So, you guys voted and Patrick said yes. So, at the trial Kevin Reddington released Patrick's phone number and one of y'all decided to give him a call. Now on this particular call, Patrick's dad was still on the line, he was kind of mumbling still on the phone, I guess he didn't know that the phone was still going," she said in the video, police wrote in the incident report.
In the video, the detective said, an adult male can be heard speaking, though he was unable to make out what was being said. When Christopher Clancy reported the incident to law enforcement on Sept. 4, he told police he believed the voice was his and came from a phone call he received on Aug. 6.
Christopher Clancy said he accidentally answered the call, which came from an unfamiliar number, instead of declining it. Police allege someone recorded the conversation without his consent, saying he was talking about his oldest son Brian. That conversation was then posted to her Instagram, according to the incident report.
"Mr. Clancy recalls while driving in the Town of Scituate sometime around August 6th, 2026 he received a phone call from a telephone number he did not recognize. Instead of declining the incoming call; he believes he accidently answered, creating an open line of communication for the unknown calling party who proceeded to record Mr. Clancy's comments without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Clancy recognized some of his comments as being in regard to his eldest son Brian," police wrote.
Read the split in legal strategy between Patrick and Lindsay Clancy in their separate lawsuits against her medical providers.
During a hearing Wednesday in Norfolk County Superior Court, attorney Howard Cooper said he expects Lindsay Clancy to testify in a lawsuit filed by her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, against her healthcare providers.
"We believe that Lindsay Clancy, once her Fifth Amendment issues are resolved one way or the other, will testify that she told these defendants explicitly that she had homicidal ideation, that she was worried about something awful happening to her kids," Cooper said in court.
In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Reddington said his client has never said she'll testify, adding that she never told her healthcare providers that she had homicidal thoughts toward her children.
"It has come to my attention that counsel for Patrick Clancy represented to the court in his civil case that my client, Lindsay Clancy, will testify about statements she made to her healthcare providers," Reddington said. "Lindsay Clancy never told any of her healthcare providers that she harbored homicidal ideation toward her children. She never indicated that she intended to testify in Mr. Clancy's lawsuit, and no one acting for her ever represented that she would."
"Mr. Clancy's counsel does not speak for Lindsay Clancy," he added.
Lindsay Clancy faced three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, who were found strangled at the family's home in January 2023.
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial on Friday, Sept. 4, after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict, ending in an 11-1 divide.
