Secret note reveals Lindsay Clancy wanted 4th child despite being overwhelmed by 3 kids she eventually killed: trial

Lindsay Clancy wanted a fourth child despite being overwhelmed by her three kids and suffering from postpartum mental illnesses including severe postpartum anxiety, jurors learned Thursday.

“I really want a fourth child but I need a good therapist before then,” Clancy wrote in a lengthy journal-like entry on her phone’s Notes app on Nov. 3, 2022, two months before she allegedly strangled Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months old.

The revelation came as Timothy Chiappini, a state trooper, testified about analyzing her cellphone.
