Patrick Clancy opens up, says he forgives ex-wife Lindsay after children’s killings

In his first televised interview, Patrick Clancy revealed he has forgiven his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, for the tragic 2023 killings of their three young children. The interview, which aired on "60 Minutes" on Sunday, September 20, 2026, comes just weeks after a mistrial was declared in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial earlier this month. Patrick Clancy stated that forgiving her was essential for his own healing process and attributed her actions to severe mental illness, rejecting portrayals of her as a "killer mom".

During the emotional interview, Patrick Clancy discussed his profound grief, including experiencing suicidal thoughts and a panic attack while testifying in court. He also addressed online conspiracy theories surrounding the case, deeming them harmful to his children's legacy and a distraction from the critical issue of perinatal mental health. Clancy has since remarried, and prosecutors are still deciding whether to pursue a new trial for Lindsay Clancy.
