Investigators reportedly collected Clancy’s pink iPhone, electronic tablets, laptops, exercise bands, a silver knife and four prescription medication bottles, among other items. Investigators also took blood and urine samples from Clancy along with swabs from under her fingernails.
“Investigators are also aware that Ms. Clancy used her cellular telephone and her journal to document her mental state and her feelings about her children, in addition to keeping track of her medications, and researching ways to kill, which means that [it] is reasonable to conclude that Ms. Clancy would have used all formats and tools available to her including a tablet,” the affidavit states, per
The Boston Globe.
The nearly 300 pages of documents did not reveal the details of the alleged searches.
At Clancy’s initial arraignment in February, her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued she was
severely overmedicated with psychiatric drugs, and inadequately treated for the postpartum mental illnesses she was allegedly experiencing, in the months leading up to the suspected killings, and thus could not be held liable for her alleged actions.
Reddington previously told
The Boston Globe that his client was prescribed drugs for mood disorders, anxiety and psychosis.
According to the newly unsealed documents, cited by
The Boston Globe, Clancy’s husband, Patrick, said she had been prescribed Zoloft, Valium, Trazodone, Ativan, Klonopin, Prozac, and Seroquel and took at least four prescriptions a day.
Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children before attempting suicide, allegedly researched “ways to kill,” prior to their deaths, authorities said in newly unsealed court documents.
