True Crime Reality

It was another fascinating day in court in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial. Three witnesses took the stand on Thursday, all of them from law enforcement. We learned about the searches, texts and notes Lindsay Clancy made in the months, weeks and even on the day of the murders of her three young children. The defense claims Clancy is not responsible for the strangling deaths of her kids because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. The prosecution tried to establish on Thursday she was actually a controlling mom who was frustrated she couldn’t parent the way she wanted to and even searched whether you can “treat a sociopath” just four days before the killings.

It’s hard to believe that for two days in a row we have reports of a husband and father killing his entire family. This horrific tragedy took place on an idyllic tree lined street in a Minneapolis suburb Wednesday morning. A mother dropping off her child at her neighborhood, family run daycare called police after witnessing the father and co-owner of the daycare killing his wife and 7-year-old daughter and then heading upstairs and shooting himself. Hours later, police found a 78-year-old woman, who they believe is the man’s mother, stabbed to death in her home a short distance away. We go over the latest string of similar tragedies all taking place over the past several months.

A disturbing report is coming from the USS Abraham Lincoln, now in its 9 month of deployment in the Middle East. Family members are demanding answers and action from the U.S. military after hearing from their loved ones that either they have attempted to jump overboard or have stopped other service members from doing so in recent weeks. There are reports of deteriorating conditions, from lack of food and hygiene supplies, to no hot water aboard the aircraft carrier, but this biggest issue is the delayed and open ended deployment that was supposed to end back in May. The Navy has denied there is an increase in reported suicidal ideation and that while supply hubs have been disrupted by combat, sailors aboard the ship have plenty of supplies and mental health support.
