The claim's legal word "murdered" is not adjudicated: the jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared on September 4, 2026, so no murder conviction exists.

Supports. Reuters reports that Clancy admits she killed her three young children by strangling them with exercise bands in January 2023, and that Cora was 5, Dawson 3, and Callan 8 months old.[1]
Supports. NBC News reports that prosecutors say Clancy deliberately killed her three children, and that the defense does not dispute the killings but argues she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis.[3]
Supports. AP reports that Clancy's lawyer has not disputed that she killed the children, but argues she should not be held criminally responsible.[4]
Context. Clancy was charged with three counts of murder, but the jury deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial on September 4, so the murder charges have not been resolved by a verdict.[2][5][6]
