Husband breaks silence after wife Lindsay Clancy ‘strangles her two young children to death’ before jumping out window
A MOURNING husband and father asked for forgiveness after his wife estranged two of their children to death.
Patrick Clancy addressed the public on Saturday, begging the world to forgive his wife, Lindsay Clancy after she did the unthinkable.
“I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have,” he said.
“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.”
Patrick Clancy added that his family was “the best thing that ever happened to me. I took so much pride in being Lindsay’s husband and a dad to Cora, Dawson, and Callan.

“They gave me purpose and I never took it for granted. There is now a massive void where that purpose once was.”
Lindsay Clancy now faces two counts of homicide, three counts of strangulation, and three counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
She is accused of strangling the couple’s older children, Cora, 5, and Dawson, 3, to death before jumping out a window.
Their youngest child, Callan, was pronounced dead on Friday at the hospital and it is reported that she is accused of attempting to kill the baby.

The woman’s mental health was called into question after the horrific act, which Patrick mentioned in his statement, saying that his wife had been portrayed “largely by people who have never met her and never knew who the real Lindsay was.”
Patrick added that her “condition” had been getting worse but he didn’t specify what she had.
However, posts have revealed that Lindsay wrote about suffering from postpartum anxiety in the months leading up to the deaths.
In July, the hospital worker shared her struggles with anxiety on Facebook just six weeks after giving birth to her third child, according to the Boston Globe.
She wrote about how she felt “dialed in” again and was focusing on nutrition and exercise as "it has made all the difference."
The post is no longer publicly visible.
“She loved being a nurse, but nothing matched her intense love for our kids and dedication to being a mother. It was all she ever wanted. Her passion taught me how to be a better father.”
A GoFundMe was created to support the family, covering medical bills, funeral services, and legal assistance.
As of writing, the fundraiser has raised more than $900,000.
