Story summary

Briana Whitney, a contributor for the "Crime Junkie Podcast," criticized 60 Minutes for conducting what she deemed an overly soft interview with Patrick Clancy, whose ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, was accused of murdering their three children. The criticism centered on the lack of substantive questions about the tragic case and the focus instead on Clancy's relationship with his new partner, Danis. Whitney noted that the only new information shared was Clancy and Danis' announcement of a pregnancy, which she felt did not address the ongoing conspiracy theories surrounding the case. The interview took place after Lindsay Clancy’s trial ended in January 2023 with a hung jury, leaving many questions unanswered about the fate of Clancy's children.
