Tl;Dr: This guy watches a brain-damaging amount of TikTok and believes in baseless conspiracy theories.

Most of what just got regurgitated here is complete horseshit. Patrick Clancy has never once been accused of killing these kids. True crime weirdos spread nonsense about anything that trends for views, and the then stupid people take the bait.

It's shameful how many upvotes this comment has. This is brazen misinformation.

I know that this case elicits a lot of emotion from people, it's no excuse to spread harmful misinformation.

EDIT: Honestly, this comment is such bullshit it needs a point-by-point breakdown. You should be ashamed for having posted this.

Virtually every claim in this theory originated on TikTok/unverified true-crime forums and directly contradicts the official court filings, surveillance footage, 911 audio, and statements from both the prosecution and Lindsay Clancy's own defense attorney.

Here is a fact-check of you claims:

"Guy keeps changing his story every time he gets asked about it... Even the prosecutors were caught on hot mic saying to each other 'He didn't do this did he?'"

• The Reality: Patrick Clancy’s timeline has remained consistent from the day of the incident. The "hot mic" claim is an entirely fabricated rumor with zero record in official court transcripts, press conferences, or verified audio logs.

"Her ex claimed he talked to her on the phone... But at the time of the 14 second long call, she had already gone out the window, was paralyzed and incapable of speaking at all."

• The Reality: The brief phone call took place at 5:34 PM while Patrick was inside the Duxbury CVS asking a pharmacist about Miralax for their daughter. Lindsay answered the phone normally. Patrick did not return home until 6:09 PM, when he found her in the backyard after she had jumped. She was not outside or injured when they spoke on the phone.

"The kids had also been tied up using a sailor's knot, by someone who was left handed. Interestingly, Lindsay is right handed... But her ex is left handed, and is an amateur sailor."

• The Reality: The children were not tied up with knots. According to court records and the Plymouth County District Attorney's arraignment statements, the children were strangled using exercise resistance bands. The "sailor's knot" detail is pure internet fiction.

"1 minute after her apple watch read her heart rate at 57 bpm, her ex sent a work email from his laptop located in the basement... Before that came out, he had lied and said their cameras didn't work because their wifi was down..."

• The Reality: None of this exists in the evidentiary record. Patrick’s movements between 5:15 PM and 6:09 PM are corroborated by store security footage, time-stamped register receipts, and GPS data. There are no forensic reports or filings citing a basement work email or selective Apple Watch data during that window.

"On top of that, there is footage of him in two different stores shortly after... he is in a completely different outfit in each place... The guy got remarried like 3 months after this all happened"

• The Reality:
  • Surveillance footage from both CVS and the restaurant (3V's Village Restaurant in Plymouth) showed him wearing the exact same winter jacket and clothing.
  • Patrick Clancy has not remarried. He has largely stayed out of the public eye aside from running the 2024 Boston Marathon to raise money for the Boston Children's Hospital's Clancy Family Foundation.

"I think he drugged Lindsay, tossed her out the window, killed the kids, and then left..."

• The Reality: Lindsay Clancy’s own defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, has never argued that someone else killed the children or that Patrick was involved. The defense's official legal strategy is centered on involuntary intoxication and postpartum psychosis, arguing that Lindsay's severe mental illness and medication regimen rendered her legally insane at the time of the acts.

Inventing conspiracy theories that accuse a grieving father of murdering his own children runs completely counter to all physical evidence, video surveillance, phone records, and both legal teams' filings. You just can't wrap your head around complex postpartum mental illnesses, and would rather believe anything but that a loving mother killed her kids in a psychotic state.

If nothing else, that's reasonable doubt.
