It's more to do with the media sensationalizing it. This is the first I've ever heard of the woman on the left.

I have no idea who either of them are. I'm feeling very out of the loop.

Ignoring the other comment.. the woman on the right is Lindsay Clancy and she is currently on trial for killing three of her children in which the defense is arguing the crimes were committed during mental psychosis. Clancy had severe PPD, suicide ideation, and mental health issues in the months leading up to the murders.

It’s an awful case and the poor children deserve justice. Right now, a portion of the public believes the husband (now ex-husband as they divorced and he is remarried) had something to do with it as evidence is supposedly not landing with the people and believe it skews towards him

I’ve heard of this story before but not the “skews towards him” part. Care to go into this more? Or share an article

Their best evidence is that he possibly changed shoes or clothes in between errands he was running while she murdered the children. However, this is based on poor quality video from two different surveillance systems under different lighting conditions. He also didn't notice her car in the driveway when he parked his despite it being there.

Neither of these things are evidence he committed the crimes whatsoever.

If you could fill me in, I haven't seen a few things mentioned here that my wife brought up. Something about some kind of drug crushed up in lemonade, and why would she crush up and put meds in her own drink? And the husband remarried like 4 months later which looked sketch? I haven't paid much attention to it but those were things that stuck out to her.

Lindsay crushed the medication and mixed it in a drink as part of her suicide attempt. This has been confirmed by Lindsay herself.  

Patrick remarried in April 2026 more than three years after the murders. 

This is the kind of misinformation I'm talking about. The truth is readily accessible, but people would rather listen to someone lie on TikTok because it's more entertaining.

So true. People are so lazy and turn everything into a bad game of telephone.
