Lindsay Clancy Trial: FBI Psychiatrist Admits He Never Tested a Single Claim

Lindsay Clancy Trial: FBI Psychiatrist Admits He Never Tested a Single Claim


Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who works with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

Reddington spent cross-examination taking Saathoff's testimony apart piece by piece. Saathoff admitted that on the 911 call, he never actually heard Clancy say she tried to kill herself — just grunts. That detail came from Patrick Clancy's account instead. Same story with the pills: Saathoff said he got the information about Clancy allegedly crushing medication straight from Patrick — nothing was ever tested to confirm it. Reddington then asked the obvious follow-up nobody had an answer for: how did the empty pill bottles end up in a drawer? Saathoff also conceded that a person in psychosis can generate false memories and misremember events entirely — which doesn't exactly help a case built on secondhand recollection. He testified he never reached out to Clancy's mother himself, relying only on the DA's office telling him she wouldn't talk.

Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy, out running errands at the time, has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.
