Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children in 2023, conducted online searches about hallucinations, psychosis, and methods of death in the days before the killings, according to trial testimony. On Day 13 of her trial, the jury heard evidence from computer searches and cellphone data. An investigator testified that Clancy also searched 'can you treat a sociopath.' A nurse practitioner who treated Clancy described her desperation to improve amid severe postpartum struggles. During autopsy testimony, Clancy broke down, saying 'I can't do it.' The case highlights the intersection of severe postpartum mental illness and criminal responsibility.
