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. Now, for all of my YouTube watchers, you can see this isn't the normal set. We are in a makeshift temporary area within the office because I'm doing a full set revamp with new lighting, new equipment, all the things. So here I am coming to you from my conference room. But here's the thing, I knew I needed to jump on here and talk with you guys about this subject, about the case matter. We've already talked about the Lindsay Clancy case together. And if you missed that, which there actually is a possibility that you did miss it because I put that episode on my other True Crime podcast feed, 10 to Life. That came out last, what was it, about a week or two weeks ago where I did a full deep dive into the case. But I'm sure so many of you are following the case yourselves or have heard about it. Maybe you're seeing it on social media. The trial's happening right now.
Basically, let me run you through what happened and why I'm here now again today to talk with you about new developments in this case.
First, we talked about the Lindsay Clancy case as a whole, the allegations of postpartum psychosis, the fact that she killed her three children using exercise bands because she was allegedly experiencing postpartum psychosis. Her husband Patrick, who stood by her, advocated for her after she was arrested, then went on to get remarried and have a family of his own, and now she's on trial. So we talked about the backstory of everything, then started talking through Headline Highlights, which is my Thursday episode, about the trial updates. And what really was interesting is starting in trial week one, I feel like people started turning against Patrick, not in a huge way, but in a way of just saying, this guy, you know, he failed his wife, the doctors failed her, I can't believe he's already moved on, he has a new family, there were allegations that he had been cheating on her with his now wife, and people were just kind of calling him out as an overall dirtbag, bad guy. And really feeling some empathy for Lindsay, not only because of the postpartum psychosis and postpartum depression element to everything, but because she just had this seemingly unreliable trash bag of a husband. And I'm just kind of saying that loosely. Then last week, everyone started turning against him even more. And I talked a little bit about this last week in headline highlights, but I started noticing at the very beginning of the week that the tide was turning against Patrick, not just any more of him being the deadbeat husband or the asshole who moved on too early, the guy who went on trips while his wife was in inpatient treatment, but started turning on him in a way of saying, Lindsay didn't even kill her three children. Patrick did. He framed Lindsay for this entire thing. Now I'll be honest with you. When I first saw that, which was like, gosh, when was that? Probably like a week ago, maybe a little longer. It was like a couple of people saying it, not that many. And in my mind, I was like, oh, you know, these are the conspiracy theorists. They're coming out. They're trying to make this something different than what it really is, but nobody's going to take this seriously. Within a matter of 48 hours, when I tell you hundreds of thousands of people were now sharing that same sentiment, I was floored. I couldn't even believe that I, what I was seeing, but then they started citing a lot of the reasons for why they believe that, such as the crime scene not aligning with Lindsay doing this herself, her DNA not being on any of the murder weapons, the pills that she consumed being crushed, therefore allegedly snuck in to her food or drink, change of wardrobe seen on Patrick in CVS when he was out of the house when these murders occurred.
