New Actor: State Police reveal Clancy search history
Massachusetts State Police investigators took the stand and walked jurors through Lindsay Clancy’s web searches, text messages, and phone notes recovered from her iPhone in the Plymouth courtroom.
They described a forensic download that produced a timeline of her digital activity in the weeks before and the hours around Jan. 24, 2023, when her three children were killed in the family’s Duxbury home.
Jurors saw entries from the browser, Messages, and the Notes app, along with items investigators said had been deleted but were recoverable, all tied to specific timestamps.
Prosecutors used the timeline to argue planning and awareness; the defense pointed to entries about her mental health and medications to support its insanity claim. The dispute is over what the data shows, not whether it exists.
Investigators also highlighted text exchanges with her husband and medical providers about symptoms, treatment, and childcare leading up to the killings. Cross-examination followed.
