POLICY WIRE — New York, United States — Patrick Clancy will speak publicly about the emotional toll of losing his three children and the false narratives that spread online following his ex-wife’s murder trial, in an exclusive interview airing this Sunday on 60 Minutes.

The conversation with correspondent Ross Douthat comes weeks after Lindsay Clancy’s case ended in a mistrial due to a jury deadlock over whether she was legally responsible for killing their children by reason of insanity. The incident occurred in 2023 when she allegedly killed 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan.
