Let’s break down this heartbreaking case of Lindsay Clancy together, the same way we would if you were sitting across from me in a small back office with a single lamp, a stack of case files, and the door cracked open. The Lindsay Clancy case has stirred up a level of emotion and tribalism that’s drowning out the evidence, and I wanted to bring in someone who’s been in the trenches on cases just like this. So I sat down with retired Houston Police Homicide Detective Fil Waters — a guy who worked the Andrea Yates murders and has interviewed mothers who killed their children under circumstances eerily similar to what we’re seeing now.

In this episode, we talk about the tension between mental health crises and purposeful behavior, the high legal bar for insanity, and the investigative questions that matter when you’re trying to understand whether someone knew right from wrong. Fil shares what he saw in the Yates case, in other filicide cases he worked, and how those experiences shape the way he views the Clancy case. This isn’t about sensationalism. It’s about clarity, compassion, and disciplined behavioral analysis — and about helping people who are genuinely trying to make sense of something that may never feel fully explainable.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is now in the hands of the jury. The defense says a loving mother was overtaken by postpartum psychosis after months of deteriorating mental health and fragmented treatment. The Commonwealth agrees that Lindsay was struggling, but argues that her actions on January 24, 2023—sending Patrick away, checking the travel time, adding another errand, speaking calmly during his phone call and acting as soon as he left—show that she understood what she was doing and knew it was wrong. In this episode, I look at what each side asked the jury to believe, why mental-health treatment nearly overtook the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan as the public focus, and why there are no real winners regardless of the verdict. Three children are dead, their mother's life is destroyed and a family will live with this loss forever. I may have strong reactions to the way this case was tried, but I will respect the jury's decision. Will you?

The Commonwealth saved one of its most direct challenges to Lindsay Clancy’s account for its final rebuttal witness. Dr. Gregory Saathoff, a forensic psychiatrist who has worked with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit for three decades, compared what Lindsay told him with her medical records, digital searches, Patrick Clancy’s account and the physical sequence of events on the day she killed her children. His testimony does not negate the serious mental illness described throughout this trial, and it does not decide the case by itself. It does, however, put the central legal question in plain view: did Lindsay’s illness leave her unable to understand that killing Cora, Dawson and Callan was wrong, or do the planning, timing, choices and later inconsistencies show that she still understood what she was doing? In this episode, I walk through the strongest parts of Saathoff’s testimony, the fair challenges the defense can make, and the exact courtroom clips that allow you to hear the evidence for yourself.

The Lindsay Clancy trial is difficult to watch because nearly every discussion has centered on Lindsay’s mental health, her treatment and whether she was experiencing psychosis. Meanwhile, her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan are feeling like footnotes in the case, even though they are the reason everyone is in that courtroom. I think we can recognize that Lindsay was seriously ill without losing sight of what happened to her children. This episode looks at the Commonwealth’s claim that she deliberately created time alone with them, what the defense says psychosis did to her ability to understand and control her actions, why this case did not end with a negotiated resolution, and what choices the jury may actually have when deliberations begin.

I also want to compare Clancy’s case with John du Pont, James Holmes, Jeffrey Dahmer and Jared Lee Loughner, all of whom had serious mental-health problems but were still held criminally responsible. That does not make these cases equal, and it does not settle Lindsay’s case. It helps explain why proof of mental illness is only part of what this jury must consider. We also need to remember that the jurors heard the 911 call and saw medical evidence that people watching remotely did not. Those moments may stay with them when they decide whether the Commonwealth proved first-degree murder, whether a legally available lesser offense fits the evidence, or whether Lindsay was not criminally responsible.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston to examine why some women pursue relationships with men responsible for notorious killings. We begin with Chris Watts, who is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, their daughters, Bella and Celeste, and their unborn son, Nico. With reports that Watts may now want to marry a woman who has repeatedly visited him in prison, we discuss what someone may gain from a relationship built around distance, controlled contact and the belief that she alone understands the man behind the crime.

Dr. Johnston explains the limited research surrounding hybristophilia, the term commonly used for attraction to people who commit serious crimes. We discuss rescue fantasies, religious redemption, the desire to feel uniquely important, denial of overwhelming evidence and the emotional appeal of a relationship in which everyday responsibilities are largely absent. We also examine how an incarcerated offender can create intimacy through letters, telephone calls and carefully controlled stories while the person outside supplies money, attention, loyalty and a connection to the free world.

We compare Watts with Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, who received attention from numerous women while awaiting execution and eventually married Doreen Lioy. Her refusal to accept the evidence against him lasted for years before DNA linked Ramirez to the killing of nine-year-old Mei Leung. We also discuss Luigi Mangione and the public support, romantic attention and substantial defense contributions he received after the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson. Mangione has now pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges resulting in Thompson’s death and admitted in court that he shot him; the separate New York murder prosecution is currently being challenged by his attorneys. (Associated Press)

This conversation is not about assuming that every person who writes to an inmate has the same motivation. It is about understanding the different psychological needs that can make these relationships attractive, the ways imprisoned offenders may groom or manipulate people outside and the difference between a sincere claim of change and years of accountable behavior. Dr. Johnston also explains why intelligence, professional training or previous relationship experience does not necessarily protect someone from emotional manipulation.

I want to hear what you think. Should Chris Watts be permitted to marry while serving life for killing Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico? Is a prison relationship evidence of love, a rescue effort, a redemption story or something the offender has carefully constructed?

Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot on a Las Vegas street, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is on trial for murder. In this episode, I walk through the prosecution’s retaliation theory, the defense claim that Davis turned fiction into a profitable public persona, and the most important testimony from the first week. We will look at the MGM Grand fight, the white Cadillac, Davis’s protected 2008 interview, his later public interviews and memoir, the medical evidence, the witnesses who still do not want to talk, and the holes created by three decades without a gun, a car or testimony from the other men prosecutors say were inside that Cadillac. I will also identify the exact portions of the opening statements that are worth watching and explain what each side needs the jury to believe.

On August 8th, 2026, 63-year-old grandmother Alisa Goods stepped out of a Las Vegas home to pick up iron pills from a nearby CVS. She never came back and there aren’t any witnesses we’re aware of, no trace of the woman, just silence. Then four days later, her phone started sending texts to her family asking for gas money and Bitcoin. There's one problem: Alisa Goods doesn't drive and I doubt she even uses bitcoin. Someone else likely has her phone and they knew her name, her family's numbers, and exactly how to make them desperate enough to consider sending money. Her daughter flew across the country to search while other family members plea for help on the internet. Her son recorded a phone call from a woman claiming to be his mother but the voice on the other end of the line, wasn’t her. Law enforcement says there's "nothing to suggest she is in danger," but I join the family in disagreeing. This is the story of a woman who simply went to the store and a case that is raising serious questions about fraud, foul play, and who gets to decide when a missing person matters.

Lindsay Clancy has never denied killing her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old. That's not what this trial is about. The real question in front of the jury is whether she knew, in the legal and moral sense, that what she was doing was wrong — and whether a mental disease or defect took that capacity away from her.

Let’s step past the emotion and dig into the actual legal question of whether Clancy’s fear of losing her children prompted the murders. To make sense, let’s examine parts of the Andrea Yates conviction side by side without forgetting that eight children died in the two cases.

This video discusses the deaths of children and mental illness including postpartum psychosis. If you or someone you know is struggling, get help immediately.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, I’m joined by veteran crime reporter Caroline Lowe to discuss the unsolved disappearance of Jodi Huisentruit, the 27-year-old morning news anchor who vanished outside her Mason City, Iowa apartment on June 27, 1995. Jodi had overslept and told her producer she’d be right in for the morning newscast at KIMT-TV. About 20 minutes later, investigators believe she made it to her red Mazda Miata, just steps from her apartment door, where evidence suggested she was attacked and abducted. Her personal items were found scattered near the car, including shoes, hairspray, a hairdryer, and a bent key. Jodi has never been found.

Caroline Lowe has spent decades reporting on this case and helping keep Jodi’s story alive through FindJodi.com. In this conversation, we talk about the timeline, the crime scene, possible offender types, the importance of victimology, the dangers of tunnel vision, and why law enforcement sometimes holds back evidence even when the public wants answers. We also talk about who Jodi was beyond the case: a young journalist with big dreams, deep friendships, a love of travel, and a life that should never be reduced to the mystery of her disappearance. After 30 years, this case still matters. Someone may know something. A memory, a property connection, an old conversation, a vehicle, a tip, or even remains discovered by chance could still move this investigation forward. Please visit www.FindJodi.com for more information, case updates, and contact information for law enforcement.

The Lindsay Clancy trial has moved into the psychiatric care she received before she killed her three children, and the testimony is raising difficult questions about fragmented treatment, repeated medication changes, telehealth and what people mean when they accuse a patient of “doctor shopping.” In this episode, I lay out how many providers were involved, what Lindsay may have been seeking, what the treatment history gives the defense and what it does not prove about criminal responsibility. I also examine defense attorney Kevin Reddington’s aggressive cross-examination of Dr. Jennifer Tufts, including the disputed notation about “not hyper” and “pressured speech.” Was Dr. Tufts changing her explanation, or did the defense turn a poorly written line into something far larger than the evidence supports? I’ll also explain why the attack reminded me of a lesson I learned as an investigator: when the evidence itself is difficult to attack, the defense may attack the investigation or the person responsible for interpreting it.

Chris Watts is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their daughters, Bella and Celeste. Now, Lizzie Henderson has publicly confirmed that she is in a relationship with Watts, while reporting says she moved from Ohio to Wisconsin, visited him 23 times in about fifteen months, sought to change her surname and joined him in requesting permission to marry. In this episode, I separate what Henderson has said herself from details attributed to other outlets, examine what is known about the relationship, and ask why a woman would build a future around a man who destroyed his own family. I compare the case with Richard Ramirez and Doreen Lioy, including my friend Phil Carlo’s firsthand view of their prison wedding, and use the available research to explain attraction to notorious offenders, rescue fantasies, controlled intimacy, denial, notoriety and the very unusual relationship structure created by prison walls.
