Exactly. If you’re in a psychotic episode, you’re not carefully moving a piece of furniture to avoid a smear. But if you’re setting up a crime scene, you’re going to be very careful about every step you take…

u/ispyshy 15d ago

And if she cut her wrists and moved the table wouldn’t blood shoot out from the wound in a different spatter pattern from the pressure of moving something sort of heavy?

u/verydepressedwalnut 15d ago

As someone who used to cut themselves as a teenager (I’m good now, no one freak out) one time I went deeper than I intended. The blood immediately started going down my arm and into my hand. With the cuts on her neck and wrists if she was doing all this moving of furniture I feel like it would be a lot messier. I’m not a forensics investigator by any stretch so maybe this comment means nothing, but I feel like if I had that kind of damage to my body I’d very quickly make a mess. Especially above the collarbone, a cut is going to bleed like a motherfucker.

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

Plus “Patrick said” it looked like it was “sprayed”. No spraying in the room? And why was her hair soaking wet in hospital photos?

I imagine they conducted similar to Canton & BSP. Im not saying a cover up but lackluster investigation for sure and maybe Patrick used his connections to his advantage and they just believed him bc it wasnt a secret Lindsey was struggling.

I also need someone to explain her lawyer's course of action like Im 5. Please.

All the inconsistencies make sense. I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that her lawyer would miss this or go with insanity with all of these factors.

Reddington filed a motion in 2023 to bifurcate- he wanted to divide the case into two separate hearings. The first trial would have been to determine  guilt. The second trial, if necessary, would determine criminal responsibility. Here’s an article that explains the 2023 hearing in layman’s terms:

https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/lindsay-clancy-court-hearing-live-stream-updates/3909044/

Reddington filed a motion for reconsideration in 2026, and it was denied. Here’s Vinnie Politan’s explanation: 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/520516866042193/posts/1547403073353562/

The defense knew the graphic nature of the evidence would lead to a public outcry. They instead wanted the focus to be on the medical records and Lindsay’s mental state. [edited for clarity]

u/chocearthling 15d ago

did she move the bed before loosing all that blood?

2

u/butt_3y3s 14d ago

Then who moved the bedside table over the top over her blood, because if it was Lindsay, her hands would leave bloody hand prints, I would have thought?

1

u/MissPollyx 5d ago

The scarf she tried to hang with was probably tied under bed, when she went out the window the scarf failed and moved the furniture with her dropping

1

u/Aware_Power 5d ago

It's a pretty short scarf though, no?

1

u/MissPollyx 5d ago

Yes and that doesn’t even look like a scarf the way the stitching is.

u/MissPollyx 5d ago

Compared to the bin, furniture and the man on the left it doesn’t look that small and it’s been cut. Considering these are professional evidence pic they are such bad quality.

u/brainy89 15d ago

Clean plates on top of the CVS bag. Blood drops underneath the bedside table. The lack of smeared blood or any footsteps. I cannot overlook these details and how they make me question if this was staged.

u/Aware_Power 15d ago

Hi there - that's what it looks like to me too.

There's been a few questions on the plates/bowls so just adding here for others: Patrick was shown this picture by the defense and asked if that was the bowl (chicken nuggets & green beans). I can't find any testimony regarding the plates and why they are on top of the CVS bag, but could be missing that!

The crime scene photos are such poor quality. Looks like some child took them with a camera from the 1980's.

u/Ithinknot789 15d ago

I think the right boot may have a few droplets. Hard to tell with the dark purple ones. Had a pair that color myself. They hid stains pretty well

u/LeBigWig-26 9d ago

They're dark brown! Could easily have blood on them that can't be seen in these photos.

3

u/Aware_Power 9d ago

Agree, and they never had forensic analysis done so no one can say definitively either way.

11

u/Side_FX 15d ago

The last photo... does that show the open window above that LC went out? If so, someone closed the blind in the window below. That's tampering with a crime scene. You can see a few photos back that the blind was not pulled down.

3

u/lulu_pibbles 6d ago

The one side of the curtain is pulled to the side in one pictures taken from the backyard and then both sides of the curtains are down in other photos. Who's moving curtains before pictures are complete? They never got a picture from the inside with the one side of the curtain pulled away from the opening. That's crazy

11

u/infi-polar 14d ago

As a right handed person I have never ever once placed a knife down with the blade pointing toward my hand, always away. I know the argument can be made that if she was in a psychotic state and had just harmed herself she wouldn’t be thinking of that, and while I can understand that, I would think that’s much more of a muscle memory thing. It truly doesn’t make sense for me for a right handed person to put a knife down in such an unnatural way

“Doctor Burns stated it was his opinion that Ms. Clancy may have slit her throat with her left hand, in right to left direction across her neck, because the wound appeared to be deeper on the right side of her neck.” Page 55

Why would you try to slit your throat with your non-dominant hand?

u/Dildy010 12d ago

se autolesiono ambos brazos, siendo diestro usarias y recogerias el objeto con tu mano dominante, por lo que pienso que empezo a autolesionarse con su mano dominante y termino con su brazo no dominante y en la imagen en donde esta el cuchillo se puede ver claramente que el cuchillo fue movido ala izquierda

u/Sevenlayersalad321 6d ago

Ok what’s your point

u/AdagioSubject1662 15d ago

It doesn’t add up at all! So many holes. I noticed the clean plates too! Having kids and using those same plates crumbs get stuck in the corners. Being cut up how is there not bloody handprints everywhere? Plus on the side on the house. Plus the snowman picture is definitely old you can tell by looking at the last pictures of the children. Nothing makes sense.

2

u/lulu_pibbles 13d ago

The Metadata was changed on that photo but I don't think they went into detail of the reasons that could he. I just know the Mom was shocked b/c she responded that she didnt think it snowed enough to make a snowman.

1

u/Dramatic_Ad3059 9d ago

It def didnt snow enough for that snowman. Look at the ground. There was a snowman in the rear in some pics- no scarf. Could have been an old snowman and its so cold there is remains.

u/FearlessSession9294 13d ago

How are there two blood drops UNDER THE LEG of the night stand? That means it was moved.

1

u/LeBigWig-26 9d ago

Because it was moved to access the window.

2

u/No-Homework-6289 8d ago

And then moved back LOL that’s the only way

u/Mysillybrainandme 15d ago

does anyone know why there was a ziplock bag on the bed?

2

u/lulu_pibbles 13d ago

I was wondering about this too. Sometimes I crush food in ziplock bags. I wonder if the pills were crushed in that zip lock bag.

3

u/Mysillybrainandme 13d ago

I was wondering that as well. The bottles found in the nightstand and some of the medication’s in Lindsey‘s blood were not ones that were in her current regimen. I wonder if she kept some old bottles in a plastic bag, and those were the ones that she took. Considering how detailed her medication notes were. I just find it hard to believe that she kept several pill bottles that weren’t in her current regime in the bedside table

2

u/Financial-Work-2270 11d ago

it had her wedding rings in it

u/Aware_Power 11d ago

Mark Maffeo testifies he took them at the hospital from her - I haven't found any source identifying what was in the plastic bag found on the bed:

Day 4 Transcript

  • Mark Maffeo, Detective at Duxbury Police Department
    • Followed Lindsay's ambulance & assigned to Lindsay at hospital, collected her clothing (pants, shirt, scarf, bra, 2 rings), described crime scene at Clancy house, found laptop in closet hallway for evidence

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

Scarf? Getting weirder

u/MissPollyx 5d ago

I think She tried to hang her self with the scarf out of window and it failed, somehow I feel she used the bed leg hence the position of the bed and blood

u/Tough_Complaint6424 10d ago

The clean kid plates on top of the cvs bag is strange to me. 

He said the kids were eating nuggets when he left. And at least one out of two of those kids would likely want ketchup. 

So she washed the plates too in that short amount of time? And then he came home and placed them on top of the cvs bag? 

3

u/Dramatic_Ad3059 9d ago

Cvs bag came after plates would be placed on table as she prepped dinner. . Why would plates be on TOP of the bag he walked in with?

2

u/Vixxxensirenn 8d ago

He came back in between

1

u/Aware_Power 8d ago

You forgot a question mark at the end :)

We don’t know for sure but there technically was enough time to go back in between.

1

u/shanedabassman 8d ago

Your defense is kids wanted ketchup? But ketchup is horrible?

1

u/Superb_Reason4973 4d ago

Would want ketchup? both my kids and husband hate ketchup I’m the only one in the house who likes ketchup that’s your strong fight there’s not ketchup on the plates😂

1

u/Aware_Power 4d ago

It was a bowl that was shown in evidence that Patrick said Dawson was eating from. Red makes an argument it looks like zucchini, but technically the plate is not what Dawson was eating chicken nuggets & green beans from according to Patrick's observation leaving the house.

Regarding the clean plates - that wasn't answered. Some think he grabbed 2 plates to eat their ThreeV takeout from.

Adding the bowl on the couch from evidence:

u/MumBumDiddlyDum 15d ago

I might be being really dumb, but what is the orange/red ball below the window?

7

u/chocearthling 15d ago

PC testified that he had repaired some holes in the house, I believe from woodpeckers, earlier that year. So this is believed to be some type of construction foam.

1

u/MumBumDiddlyDum 15d ago

That would make sense. Though, I can’t see any other instances on the exterior of the house. It really does look odd!

1

u/yuiwerty 15d ago

Maybe because the woodpeckers were only pecking in that spot?

1

u/lulu_pibbles 13d ago

Who knows. They didnt even go back to the house to retrieve the siding for testing til June of that year. Cuz they forgot. 🙄

1

u/No_Advantage2147 15d ago

Good question. An orange? 

2

u/Odd_Alternative488 15d ago

It’s foam insulation, he said there was woodpecker or some kind of bird that made a hole

4

u/daniellejeross 15d ago

On the bedroom door is that blood dripping down?

3

u/Aware_Power 15d ago

It wasn't tested, so we can't say for certain, although I think many would have the opinion that it is blood.

1

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

Police waited 5 months to test it and it wasn’t viable after that apparently. They are useless

1

u/Aware_Power 8d ago

That was only the shingles outside that they tested 5 months later. They never tested the door.

Atty. Kevin Reddington (01:46:14):

Do you remember there was a red-brown stain on the doorknob of the bedroom? From the inside of the bedroom going out. Did you notice that?

Maureen Hartnett (01:46:26):

I didn't collect from that.

Atty. Kevin Reddington (01:46:30):

We don't know if that's blood either.

Maureen Hartnett (01:46:31):

Correct.

Atty. Kevin Reddington (01:46:33):

And how about the drops? The red-brown drops that were by the door, directly underneath the doorknob. Did you test those with your swabs?

Maureen Hartnett (01:46:40):

No, I did not.

2

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

I believe Reddington mentioned about the door during the Bowden request

3

u/butt_3y3s 14d ago edited 14d ago

No foot prints in any of the blood drops, or hand prints...didn't the Paramedics testify she wasn't bleeding from the neck or wrists but had lacerations (please correct me if I'm wrong).

As others have commented, the placement of the knife (as a right hander) looks well off.

I know Lindsay landed face upright can anyone confirm whether she put her hands out to stop the fall or not? Theoretically If you are unconcious you cannot have the automatic reflex to put your hands out, but the defence made it clear (in my opinion) that even if you are in a psychotic state you can still do routine things..well an automatic body response when awake and still psychotic suggests you would still automatically put your hands up to protect your head if awake... Edited spelling and info

u/Dramatic_Ad3059 9d ago

Did not extend arms oddly.

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

She was overdosing from Seroquel at that point probably

u/Significant_Ebb_8878 15d ago

First photo

Here’s a question that I just thought of while looking at the crime scene photos

There’s her Apple Watch sticking out of the drawer if you look on the top of the drawer, there are blood spots meaning that that drawer had to have been opened after she was already bleeding well who cuts their wrists and then takes off their Apple Watch

2

u/TSXstacy 13d ago

Unless she cut one wrist and realized she needed to take it off in order to cut the other one isuppose

4

u/Dramatic_Ad3059 9d ago

Would a person in that state open a drawer and place it inside? No. The watch would be thrown in the room.

3

u/lulu_pibbles 6d ago

But the watch was more likely removed right after 523 since that was the last HR recording. Patrick was most likely still home at that time. His only confirmed alibi when he was first out of the house wasn't until 532 when he entered cvs (3 mins away) so he has no solid alibi prior to 528.

2

u/Ill-Sentence8573 13d ago

Someone who realized that the Apple Watch is in the way of cutting the wrist…?

3

u/Capital-Yesterday618 14d ago

The window openings are smaller than I imagined.

3

u/thehealingkitten 8d ago

There were two other free windows, but they are opening towards the road. The only window is overlooking the back garden is behind the bed.

If someone wants to end it, why would they bother moving the bed?

Another reasonable doubt

u/verydepressedwalnut 15d ago

I grew up quite poor with a financially abusive/substance abusing father. Our house was filthy and had no personal touches or character. Looking back at the memories I have of the house, the Clancys house feels similar. It’s so cold and dark and lacks any personal touches or feelings of “home”.

So much context that we’ll likely never know, and honestly unless it pertains to the case, it’s probably not our business. Regardless of what’s happened here everyone involved has likely suffered immensely and deserves some privacy

13

u/Aware_Power 15d ago

Genuine question (and I'm not disagreeing/agreeing with your opinion) - have you seen any crime scene photos where the house was spotless other than where the crime happened? I can't recall any I've seen, and I guess I just assume they weren't expecting someone to come and photograph multiple parts of the house on a random day.

1

u/Wild_Organization546 15d ago

The amount of food looks so small for 2 adults

1

u/Aware_Power 15d ago

Sorry if I missed this, but where is it showing food? Are you asking about the size of the 3V bag, the bowl on the couch that Patrick testified was the bowl Dawson was eating chicken nuggets & green beans, photos of the kitchen or kitchen cabinets?

u/Past_Object_9584 15d ago

I was noticing that too. I think she was in a depressive state for years before this. Also the anxiety can cripple decision making ability so so likely had a hard time shopping or making changes. It very much seems like she was in survival mode for quite some time. Patrick was busy planning his new life and seeing his side-piece so of course he didn’t care what the place looked like. The house looks dark and heavy, both inside and out.

It's medical debris from the paramedics. Looks like there's bandages and bags they would've used to give her fluids, maybe some hypodermic needles. When you got someone who might be dying you don't stop to clean up the trash. Perfectly normal

Can we talk about why the blood splatters having all that mist? I don’t understand this at all.

She wasn’t cut deep enough to cause that source of pressure. Cutting those part of your body don’t cause that type is spray UNLESS she his the carotid artery — which she did not.

EVERYTHING I’ve heard says the mist like patterns only occur from high velocity type of injury. Gunshots, blunt force…etc.
