Patrick Clancy reflects on family tragedy in 60 Minutes interview

Published September 20, 2026 11:21pm ET




Lindsay Clancy’s ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, gave his first televised interview on Sunday night since a mistrial was declared in the Massachusetts murder case against her.

While speaking with Ross Douthat on 60 Minutes, Clancy revealed his youngest son, Callan, did not die on Jan. 24, 2023, but days later in the hospital while in his arms. He spoke about how grief led him to contemplate suicide, saying, “There was a time where I didn’t think I would live to see my 35th birthday, and I was completely fine with it.” He also revealed he experienced a panic attack in the courtroom when they played the 911 call from the night of the murders, and said none of the “headlines” that accused his ex-wife of being a “baby murderer” or “killer mom” were true.
