Mom Strangled Her 3 Children to Death After She Heard a ‘Man’s Voice Telling Her To’
According to the prosecution, the man’s voice in her head told her to do it. On Tuesday, the prosecution outlined the events leading to the January deaths of her 7-month-old son, Callan, her 5-year-old daughter, Cora, and her 3-year-old son, Dawson, as well as her own suicide attempt.
Lindsay, 32, entered a plea of not guilty to two counts of murder, three counts of strangulation, and three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. She appeared for her arraignment via Zoom from her hospital bed.
The husband of the accused, Patrick Clancy, has asked the public to forgive his wife. On January 24, prosecutors said that the mother of three deliberately murdered her children with “extreme atrocity and cruelty.” They stated that she sent her husband on an errand to pick up dinner and medication and used Apple Maps to ensure she had enough time to strangle each child before his return.
“She created the situation, and she used Apple Maps to make sure she would have enough time to strangle each child before her husband returned from where she had sent him,” prosecutors said.
After strangling the children, Lindsay allegedly locked herself in the couple’s bedroom, cut her wrists and neck, and jumped from the second-story window. When Patrick returned home, he noticed the silence and eventually found his seriously injured wife in the backyard. He removed the exercise bands from the children and begged them to breathe, but Cora and Dawson died that day and Callan passed away three days later from his injuries.

Sometimes, I just need someone to grab me by my (virtual) lapels, shake the HELL out of me, and bring me back to today's reality.
Thanks, @horace.
I feel safer knowing that you're looking out for me.

81 counts of felony animal cruelty
An Algonquin man was charged with 82 counts of felony aggravated cruelty to animals after authorities removed 101 cats from a townhouse, according to police and court records.
Of those, 86 had to be euthanized, according to the report.
Charges were filed against Lars S. Sorensen, 59, on Oct. 23, 2023. He is scheduled to appear in court March 20, records show.
Sorensen’s attorney, Brian Mirandola, declined to comment.
Kane County Animal Control Executive Director Brett Youngsteadt said the facility has 15 cats surviving and the rest were euthanized because of their aggression and sickness.
“Our ultimate goal is to rehabilitate them so they can be adopted. In these hoarding situations, it becomes like ‘Lord of the Flies,’ with each cat jockeying for position,” Youngsteadt said. “We had to do what was best for these cats.”
The cats could not be released as feral cats because they are imprinted by humans. If a feral cat is approached, it runs away. The cats would put the public at risk if a child or adult were to try to pet it, Youngsteadt said.
The vet sent photos of the cats to police.
“I observed the cats to be in horrific condition,” according to the report. “The cats had bleeding and infected wounds, looked visibly underweight and overall, looked extremely sickly.”
When the officer checked other area veterinary clinics, several also reported Sorensen had brought in cats to be euthanized.
One animal hospital told police their records showed Sorensen had 22 cats euthanized there from 2014 to 2016.
When officials arrived at Sorensen’s residence in October to serve a search warrant and seize the cats, “the floors of the residence, walls, and many other surfaces were covered in what appeared to be feline excrement and hair,” according to the report.

I guess the sentencing was today.

Truly incomprehensible.
What's sad, is I thought this thread was about a similar case in England where the mom left her 20 month old for 6 days. The toddler died a similar death. Apparently the mom had left the kid alone at least a dozen times before.
Hard to read these with a 14-month old of my own right now.

My mom dealt with a lot of these cases during her career. With at times rather incompetent police, incompetent case workers, incompetent prosecutors, incompetent judges.
Made things funny at home sometimes.
