Overview
- Patrick Clancy gave his first televised interview on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday, Sept. 20, where he described deep grief, periods of suicidal thinking and holding his youngest son Callan as the baby died four days after the January 2023 attack.
- Clancy said he forgave his ex‑wife and told the program he believes the killings resulted from severe postpartum psychosis rather than a deliberate act.
- He and his wife Dr. Rachel Danis pushed back on widespread online conspiracy theories about the case and said lawyers have notified authorities about what they call a defamation campaign.
- The interview follows a Sept. 4 mistrial after an 11–1 jury split and comes with prosecutors still undecided about a retrial as they prepare for a Sept. 29 status hearing.
- The case has focused national attention on gaps in perinatal mental‑health care and on questions about fragmented treatment, telemedicine prescribing and parallel civil malpractice claims that could shape policy and legal outcomes going forward.
