This is an IHR podcast. Guaranteed human. In nineteen eighty six, a man named Scott Macklem was killed in broad daylight. Police quickly found their suspect. Prosecutors convicted him. But now, almost forty years later, I'm re examining this case.
Unknown 0:19
I really didn't believe any of it was real and I I was like, Well they're they're gonna figure out this is not me. They're they're gonna do their police job.

Killer Thriller with your host, Alisa Donovan. Hey everyone, Elisa Donovan here from Killer Thriller, and today I am joined by Jen Fessler from KillerThriller. Hi guys. Morning. Good morning. So Jen and I have both been following the Lindsay Clancy case, as everyone on the planet has as well, since the mistrial and so much has happened. And we now know the jury was split eleven to one and we're learning more about the loan holdout and the question of whether Lindsay will face another trial is still up in the air. There is a ton to talk about, but Obviously we thought we probably need to begin with talking about Patrick Clancy being on sixty minutes last night. So what are your thoughts
Jenn Fessler 1:45
on that? Um I read a lot this morning about how people felt like it was like sixty minutes drop the ball, it was anticlimactic and I I personally don't know what people were expecting. So I never suspected that he did it. I felt terrible as I know you did, that he had to even Go through. Yes. What the filming of Sixty Minutes for What Reason. I felt like I read a lot of criticism of his wife, um, his now wife, from bloggers who said she's not good on TV. Like who gives a bit? I mean, this is a woman who Met a man in a running club. And found out that his previous wife strangled his three children. That's a lot to take on. I mean, that's lot of baggage. And this woman who actually I think seems very lovely Loved him enough to take that on and they're living their life and all I see is her and him getting slammed.
Jenn Fessler 2:49
I don't get it.
Elisa Donovan 2:50
I am so disgusted, outraged, disappointed. Just I that that he had to do this at all. Yep. This man has been through Unspeakable trauma. He has tried to move on. He's done all these things in honor of this loss and has tried and has forgiven his wife. I like what who are we to be sitting here making these judgments on these people? And I just can't understand. I'm so disgusted that he had to do this at all. This is the last thing that this man wants to do, I am sure. And so he has to explain himself because of all of these. Internet people who sit behind their screen and some of them are well known faces decide to make a guy
Jenn Fessler 3:47
when they flashed her face up there in terms of people Oh
Elisa Donovan 3:49
I'm sorry. This she it is it is a
Jenn Fessler 3:51
disgrace.
Jenn Fessler 4:02
A a religious man and a spiritual and he left and he was crying and no one noticed and he was so he could have grieved by that. Peace. He could grieve in peace.

What is the background of the Lindsay Clancy case and why is it still in the news?

Jenn Fessler 4:13
Awful, just awful. En he You know, what I pick up from him, I don't know how anyone would just he's a very um His affect is uh is s very sort of plain. He doesn't there's not a lot of highs and lows to his voice. Right. There's no
Elisa Donovan 4:28
he's not a dynamic sort of personality. It
Jenn Fessler 4:32
doesn't bother me one bit.
Elisa Donovan 4:34
Yeah, and like he's supposed to be,
Jenn Fessler 4:36
you know. I'm just so I think people judge on that. Like because he his demeanor is um he's not a personality doesn't mean because he's sort of flat in demeanor does not mean that he killed his three children. It's in my meaning. It's outrageous. I also find him sincere. I find him um sympathetic. You know, I I don't know it's It's tragic how the internet just plays these games, right? And
Elisa Donovan 5:05
Yes. And I was very moved by him talking about you know, seeing all these headlines about Lindsay, baby murderer and all these horrible things, and he just felt that they were wrong.
Jenn Fessler 5:18
Yeah.
Elisa Donovan 5:18
The interviewer asked him if he asked Lindsay why she did it, which is like a ridiculous question. And Pat Clancy said he asked her if she remembered doing it.
