Sources confirm Patrick Clancy was sent out on errands on Jan. 24, 2023, leaving Lindsay Clancy alone with the children, and that he returned less than an hour later.

Supports. Reuters reports Clancy sent her husband out to pick up a food order and to a pharmacy to create time for the killings.[1]
Supports. A timeline piece states Patrick Clancy left to pick up takeout food and medication and returned less than an hour later to find the children in the basement.[2]
