When Patrick Clancy took the stand in his ex-wife's murder trial, he had already begun building a new life in New York City, more than four hours away from the Duxbury, Massachusetts, home where Lindsay Clancy killed their kids.
Lindsay Clancy, 36, faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children — Cora, Dawson and Callan, all under age 6 — who were found strangled at the family's home in January 2023. The prosecution concluded its case Monday morning, and her defense attorney has since begun presenting arguments, asserting that she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis when she killed her children.
Patrick Clancy, a business applications sales executive at Microsoft, has since divorced Lindsay, relocated to New York City and wedded Dr. Rachel Danis in a Central Park ceremony in spring 2026. She reportedly moved into Patrick's Upper East Side apartment in 2025.
He moved to New York City in spring 2023, just months after Lindsay Clancy killed their three children, according to public records obtained by the Lindsay Clancy killed her kids in January 2023, Patrick wrote on a GoFundMe page, "I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have...The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone - me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients."
"The very fibers of her soul are loving. All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace," he wrote.
"Cora was into princesses, and she had a lot of friends," Patrick Clancy said. "She just liked taking care of people."
He said that Callan, the youngest child, "was just a happy baby."
Patrick Clancy said Dawson "liked the television show ‘Paw Patrol’" and was into firefighters and trucks.
Donna Rotunno, a criminal defense attorney, noted in an interview with Fox News Digital that Patrick Clancy's own mother, Susan Clancy, was a witness for the defense.
"She is extremely sympathetic to what Lindsay was going through. And if you thought that, you know, anybody would wanna be upset about the loss of their grandchildren, it would be her, correct? She's the father's mother, and she's there supporting Lindsay so much so that she nodded to her as she walked out of the courtroom in this unbelievable, I think, show of humanity," Rotunno said.
