Text messages between Lindsay Clancy and her husband Patrick, shown in court on Thursday, reveal a normal exchange about dinner and their baby shortly before she allegedly killed their three children. Patrick left the Duxbury home at 5.14 pm to buy medicine at CVS and collect takeaway, returning around 6.09 pm to find his children unresponsive. Cora, 5, and Dawson, 3, were pronounced dead; Callan, 8 months, died days later. Lindsay Clancy does not deny the killings but pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, arguing severe postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors say she acted intentionally, sending her husband out to create time alone with the children. Her defence highlights bizarre searches on her phone, including "can you treat a sociopath" and "hallucinations", days before the incident. The trial continues.
