No source gives the fundraiser's total on the claim date of 2026-08-17. The earliest dated figure is over $1 million by Aug. 21, which makes $750,000 four days earlier plausible but unconfirmed. The claim's extraction matches the post's wording, and the figure is not contradicted.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… She still took a bad and strangled a baby to death. Very few killers, you see the story, hear the story, and you say, well, you know, obviously he's not in his right mind. Let's let him go, or let's feel sorry for him, or, even worse, let's send him money. The GoFundMe set up for the family of Lindsey Clancy, I believe set up by her parents, is up to $750,000. $750,000 so far donated to her after she killed her three kids.

What we found

Context. Yahoo coverage published 2026-08-21 reports the campaign had raised $1,003,758 'as of Friday,' the earliest dated total in the sources.[1]

Context. Stamford Advocate (2026-09-04) and NH Register (2026-09-06) say the fundraiser surpassed $1 million in August, by Aug. 21. Neither gives a total for Aug. 17.[2][3]

Context. The GoFundMe was created August 11 by Brandee Mulligan, a TikTok creator, for Mike and Paula Musgrove, per ABC News 4 (2026-09-17). This is consistent with the claim's 'family' referent, though the post's 'set up by her parents' attribution is not what the sources say.[4]

Context. Fashion Times (2026-08-26) reports the campaign surpassed '$1 million (£750,000)'. The £750,000 is a pound conversion of $1 million, not a $750,000 figure, so it does not support the claim.[5]

Context. Later sources (Sept. 2026) report totals of $1.17M to $1.24M, so the fundraiser kept growing after the claim date.[4][6][7]
