Patrick Clancy is expecting his first child with his new wife, Rachel Danis, a fertility doctor. The couple talked about starting a family during a “60 Minutes” interview, and reporter Ross Douthat later confirmed the pregnancy on “CBS Mornings.” The news arrives just weeks after a mistrial was declared on September 4 in the murder case against Patrick’s ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy.
That mistrial came down to a single juror. Eleven of the twelve believed Lindsay was suffering from postpartum psychosis when their three children died in 2023, but one juror sided with prosecutors, and that was enough to end the trial without a verdict. Prosecutors have not announced whether they’ll retry the case, leaving the legal outcome unresolved for now.
During his “60 Minutes” interview, Patrick also addressed the social media conspiracy theories that tried to connect him to the deaths, speaking openly about his grief while looking ahead to a new marriage and a new baby. For families across the Suncoast, it’s a story that raises real questions about postpartum mental health and how we support parents in crisis. What do you think should happen next in this case?
