Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, heard testimony Thursday from first responders who arrived at her Duxbury home in January 2023 after her husband reported their three children dead. Officers and firefighters described discovering the bodies of three-year-old Dawson, five-year-old Cora, and eight-month-old Callan in the basement after Clancy jumped from a second-floor window. Her defense argues she was experiencing postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness, while prosecutors contend she acted intentionally and bears criminal responsibility for the deaths.

The officers testified they found Patrick Clancy frantically calling for help behind the home. Only the infant had a faint pulse when discovered; firefighters attempted resuscitation but were unsuccessful. Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, remains paralyzed from the waist down after multiple suicide attempts that night and says she heard voices instructing her to kill the children to enable her own death.
