Posts attributed to Patrick Clancy resurfaced after a deadlocked jury led to a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s case. Written weeks before their three children died, they describe her insomnia after starting Zoloft and Patrick seeking online advice about her condition.
Posts from Patrick Clancy’s since-deleted Reddit account, dated December 2022, reportedly described Lindsay sleeping only three or four hours a night and once staying awake for 48 hours. Patrick asked an online forum whether people taking medication had experienced thoughts of harming loved ones. The report says she lost 15 pounds in two months. Patrick wrote that doctors later prescribed Ativan, other benzodiazepines and sleeping pills, then switched her to Prozac.
At trial, medical experts on both sides suggested Lindsay may have had bipolar disorder; her defense argued she suffered severe postpartum psychosis. Lindsay and Patrick have sued her treating doctors, alleging they failed to identify bipolar disorder. Patrick has rejected online accusations of involvement in the killings, which the article says were criticized for lacking evidence.
