**Annie Elise** (0:02)
Hey, true crime besties, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialously.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialously with me your host, Annie Elise. Hope you're having a great week so far, it's been a busy one. I know that there's been some courtroom drama in the beginning of this week in the Clancy trial. We're going to talk all about that. There have been some horrific updates in a lot of cases that we have previously discussed on here. And there's, of course, unfortunately, as always, new cases that are happening every single week. Now, in case you missed it, on Monday, I actually released a deep dive into the Michigan family annihilator, the family of eight that was found dead. We've talked a little bit about it on Headline Highlights, where not only did this husband seemingly shoot his entire family, but then set fires throughout all of the rooms. And when we started digging deep into it to do the deep dive, there's a lot of weird information that we found out. Life, not a life insurance policy, a homeowner's insurance policy that was taken out three days before all of this. Of course, the theories and speculation about him embezzling, him having an affair, we found a lot more reddit posts that his wife had made. So the deep dive released Monday. You can go listen to that now.
And then I released a second deep dive on the second true crime podcast of mine, 10 to Life on Tuesday.
And that case is, I don't want to say reminiscent of Lindsey Clancy, but people are drawing a lot of parallels to it. It's the case of Chad Dorman. He murdered his three sons. However, what's different with his case is he had been planning and plotting this for eight months. He did tell his mom the morning of that he was feeling weird. He went to a clinic, but he didn't speak with anyone. And ultimately during his trial, he was deemed as knowing in that moment what was right, what was wrong and still choosing to do this anyway. But what's so wild about this case is the interrogation footage we got our hands on and the body cam footage. And I have to say, when we released this on Tuesday, the amount of comments of how pissed off you guys were when you heard the dispatcher on this call, and I hear you, it's pretty frustrating, but I could talk all day long about that case. My point is there are some parallels being drawn between that case and Lindsay Clancy, wondering if he should not be given the same grace as Lindsay, but be asked the same kind of questions of was this a mental illness situation? Was he suffering? Why are we excusing it for one person and not another?
I believe once you hear all of the details, you'll understand that this was very different than that case in the sense that he never tried to really reach out for help, never confided in people about what he was going through, never sought treatment, never sought medication, and again, had planned this for the better parts of a year. So if you haven't listened to that yet because you don't know that I have a second True Crime Show, go listen right now. It is 10 to Life, 1-0 to Life. That way you get new episodes every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
But today we are here for Headline Highlights, everything that's going on this week. And as I'm sure you've been able to notice if you have been watching the video versions on YouTube for the past couple weeks, there has been a little adjustment to the set. We are officially in our new set. We had been working on this for the last several weeks. It's finally almost done. We have a couple minor tweaks we still have to do. But really excited because this is the first official episode of Headline Highlights that I am doing in this new set where you are going to see the full camera view. Editor, hand a camera view because here is our guest with me today, Amy Colette O'Brien, the seventh.

I was laughing because last week I saw a comment that said, I think they low key like might hate each other or not like each other. And then someone responded and said, we're sisters. And that's the second time we recently have heard people not knowing we're sisters. I'm like, we actually love each other.
