FLOODGATES OPEN: CLANCY CHATROOM MOM CALLS SON, 2, “ANTICHRIST,” KILLS HIM?

Author: iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline September 10, 2026 Duration: 34:58

Following a deadlocked jury and a declared mistrial in the high-profile trial of Lindsay Clancy, Nancy Grace and her expert panel dive into the fiery fallout surrounding the case. Clancy faced murder charges after strangling her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, with elastic exercise cords inside their home before attempting suicide. While Clancy's defense argued she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and command hallucinations, prosecutors presented detailed evidence of premeditation, including timed route searches and orchestrated errands to keep her husband away. Nancy Grace and her panel analyze the controversial trial aftermath, including defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s public attacks on a single holdout juror, his call for a presidential pardon, and the Commonwealth's anticipated push for a retrial.

 A shocking copycat case in Frankfort, Illinois, has also sparked fear of a dangerous ripple effect from the trial's coverage. 40-year-old Corie Walsh, who was heavily active in online Clancy chat rooms, allegedly hanged her two-year-old son, Barrett, while similarly claiming a sudden "psychotic break". Psychoanalyst Dr. Bethany Marshall, forensic investigator Joseph Scott Morgan, and defense attorney Mark Astor join Nancy to debate the weaponization of mental health claims in criminal trials, examine disturbing social media trends surrounding postpartum intrusive thoughts, and break down the grim forensic realities connecting both tragic cases.
