Patrick Clancy begged for just one of his children to survive, held baby Callan as he died in his arms and revealed why he forgave Lindsay after she killed their three children.
Speaking with correspondent Ross Douthat on perinatal mental health, and it's done real harm to real people."
He said the repeated accusations have made it painful to be in public and warned that people may start believing false claims if they see them often enough.
"After seeing lie after lie after lie, they start to believe it," Patrick said. "And that's what we're left with."
Patrick said he sought answers from Postpartum Support International, psychiatrists and other experts. Those conversations helped him begin processing what happened.
Patrick's wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, joined him for the "60 Minutes" interview and recalled first learning about his children after noticing their photograph on his phone during a coffee outing.
"I just asked, ‘Who are those cuties?’" Danis told Douthat. "And Pat had said, ‘Those are my kids.’"
When she asked whether they lived in Massachusetts, Patrick told her they had died.
Patrick and Danis met through a New York running club in January 2024. Their relationship deepened as they continued running together, and they married in New York City this April.
The couple also discussed starting a family.
Asked what he would tell a future child about Cora, Dawson and Callan, Patrick said all of his children would remain part of the same family.
"You have different relationships with your kids, but they're all your kids," he said. "And I can't wait to tell them about their brothers and sister."
Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial Sept. 4 after jurors split 11-1, with 11 favoring a finding that Lindsay was not criminally responsible and one holding out for a conviction. Prosecutors have not announced whether they will try her again.
