New details emerge in case of Duxbury mother accused of killing her 3 children

DUXBURY - The Duxbury mother accused of killing her three children and then trying to take her own life will be arraigned on three murder charges.

Lindsay Clancy will face a judge via Zoom from Tewksbury Hospital on Thursday.

WBZ-TV has obtained new search warrants that list what investigators found in her home and during the course of their investigation in January.

Clancy's husband told investigators she was nervous about her return to work as a labor and delivery nurse at Mass General Hospital.

She also received psychiatric help for suicidal thoughts and wanting to harm her children - 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. Clancy was prescribed seven anxiety medications but was said to only take four a day.

Detectives also found a notebook that had suicidal thoughts. They used this information to request a deeper dive on her electronic devices.

Clancy is accused of strangling her daughter and two sons with exercise bands. She then attempted to take her own life and is paralyzed from the waist down. All three children were taken to the hospital where Cora and Dawson were pronounced dead. Callan died a few days later.

Prosecutors say Clancy planned the murders, asking her husband to pick up children's medication and takeout food from a restaurant in Plymouth. She allegedly researched how long the trip would take her husband, so she knew how long she would be alone with the children.

"I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have," Patrick Clancy said in a statement he released in January. "The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone - me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients."
