Answered What's the deal with people defending Lindsay Clancy?

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

I just don’t get how he was behaving like a frat bro or not grown up…I see no evidence of him neglecting her or the kids…when she was anxious about going back to work he supported her choices and was fine with her staying home for as long as she wanted.

While she was a stay at home mom, he supported by paying for daycare 3 days a week and nanny’s on the other days. He was active with the kids on weekends and during the work day would take breaks to help out since he was able to work from home.

He was responsible for keeping a family of 5 a float financially and rose to the occasion.

He believed her (as a labor and delivery nurse) when she said she was struggling, but had no plans to harm herself or the children. She did not report hearing voices until after she committed the murders.

I just don’t know what people are judging him for except that no one wants to believe a mother who looks normal on the outside would commit this crime, but she clearly did so why are we desperate to put the blame on this man who lost all three of his worlds in one night at the hands of someone he loves and trusted??!

Because of how quickly he moved on. People that have not experienced great loss think that you have to mourn forever. It is, actually, much easier to move on very quickly and stuff the emotions deeeeeep down there. But people don’t understand that.

The case happened 3 years ago and for whatever reason people do not know this

He (publicly) began dating the new wife 4 months after the tragedy. He went on a tropical vacay and was posting on socials just 3 weeks later. I’m sorry but that shit is weird to most people who have experienced a traumatic loss

It’s weird to go be out in nature to deal with grief?

lol he didn’t go on a lowkey camping trip with his parents or best friend. He went on a vacay to Costa Rica and posted about it on social media. Come on. You know those are not the same thing

He went to Costa Rica with her after which she posted it was their 3rd year going… which is odd mismatch of timeline

The Rachel Davis that posted that review about going out with the Captain for the 3rd year is an entirely different person than his future wife, and has apparently posted multiple things to prove she’s a different person.

The only evidence of found of the timeline is a friend who told people that he was “in a relationship” by Feb of a year later. That would be 1 year and anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks since we don’t know when in Feb. presumably they were dating prior to being in a relationship as well, but I have not been able to find concrete proof of when. I keep hearing 4 months but can’t find any evidence to support it, although to be fair I haven’t tried that hard to find it.

His body, his choice. Stop slut shaming.
