vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 01:34:05
Lindsay Clancy’s fate goes to the jury—and Lauren Matthias breaks down the sharply conflicting closing arguments on Hidden True Crime.

EXCLUSIVE: I had Postpartum Psychosis and Intrusive Thoughts--I was scared | Lindsay Clancy Case
vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 34:14
In this exclusive interview, Lauren Matthias sits down with a mother who experienced terrifying intrusive thoughts and postpartum psychosis—and lived through symptoms strikingly similar to some of what Lindsay Clancy has described. What do intrusive thoughts actually feel like? Can you recognize that the thoughts are horrifying and still be unable to make them stop? And what happens when postpartum mental illness progresses to the point that you begin losing touch with reality? She shares her deeply personal experience, the warning signs she now recognizes, what was happening inside her mind, and how she ultimately got help. As the Lindsay Clancy trial raises difficult questions about postpartum psychosis, intrusive thoughts, hallucinations, and criminal responsibility, this conversation offers something the courtroom cannot: a firsthand look inside the experience of a mother who has actually lived through postpartum psychosis and survived it.

FBI Psychiatrist Says Lindsay Clancy KNEW What She Was Doing — Defense Fights Back | Days 21 & 22
jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 03:09:17
Lauren Matthias breaks down Days 21 and 22 of the Lindsay Clancy trial as the Commonwealth’s rebuttal case comes to a close with critical testimony from its final experts. FBI senior psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff challenged key parts of Clancy’s account, including the command voice she says told her to kill her three children, and testified that he believed she was criminally responsible and capable of controlling her actions. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington fought back in a lengthy cross-examination, highlighting psychological testing that showed no evidence of malingering and challenging Saathoff on auditory hallucinations, postpartum illness, medications and the evidence behind his conclusions. Now, with the prosecution resting, the Lindsay Clancy case heads to closing arguments and the jury.

Judge REPRIMANDS Prosecution After Lindsay Clancy “Mortal Sin” Testimony — Mistrial Denied | Day 19
mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 02:05:34
The Lindsay Clancy trial took a dramatic turn on Day 19 as the prosecution continued its rebuttal case. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington finished his contentious cross-examination of psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack, challenging his experience, his evaluation of Clancy nearly three years after the killings, and his conclusions about postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. Then psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun took the stand and revealed that Clancy told evaluators she said “go with God” to each of her children while killing them, believing she and the children would ultimately be together in heaven. Moments later, testimony about Catholic teaching and suicide as a “mortal sin” prompted Judge William Sullivan to stop the proceedings and sharply admonish the prosecution after he had previously barred similar testimony. The defense sought a mistrial, but the judge denied the request. Lauren Matthias breaks down the major testimony, courtroom clashes and what it could mean as the Lindsay Clancy murder trial moves closer to its conclusion.
