    3 Lindsay Clancy Trial Bombshells: The Nanny, Dear Diary and Lindsay Speaks

    Three big moments that could change everything in the Lindsay Clancy trial? This week, jurors heard emotional testimony from the Clancy family's former nanny, Elaine “Lainey” Rossi, and listened as Lindsay Clancy's private journal entries were read aloud in court. And, for the first time, we heard Lindsay herself speak.  Today’s guest has been there every day inside the courtroom, witnessing it all in person. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson is joined by Lauren Matthias, host of the Hidden True Crime podcast, who shares her experience inside the courtroom of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Sitting just feet from Lindsay, the attorneys, and the jury, Lauren reveals the moments cameras don't fully capture. We break down the three biggest developments from this week's testimony, including the nanny's description of Lindsay as a “wonderful mom,” the journal entries documenting her feelings of being “completely overwhelmed” and “drowning” while trying to care for her three children, and Lindsay's appearance before the judge outside the jury's presence. Lauren also reveals what Lindsay’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington told her during a courtroom recess, and why this case has become so personal to him. If you're following the Lindsay Clancy trial and the latest courtroom developments in one of America's most closely watched true crime cases, this conversation takes you inside the courtroom for firsthand perspective on this week’s biggest moments.

    Forensic Psychologist: Why Lindsay Clancy’s Case Should Never Have Gone To Trial

    Lindsay Clancy Trial: Why is a forensic psychologist calling the prosecution a "witch hunt"? As the Lindsay Clancy murder trial continues in Massachusetts, the fiercest debate is no longer about what happened inside the Clancy home in Duxbury. It's about whether this case ever belonged in a criminal courtroom at all. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with forensic psychologist Dr. Leslie Dobson, who says prosecutors had another option in this case that they chose not to pursue - and explains why she believes they chose the wrong path.  Lindsay Clancy's defense does not dispute that her actions led to the deaths of her three children or challenge the physical evidence. Instead, the defense maintains she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible under the law. Dr. Dobson explains why offering Lindsay Clancy a plea and civil commitment - not a murder trial - could have been a more appropriate path. She also weighs in on the harrowing evidence jurors have heard, including the 911 call that courtroom insiders have described as one of the most emotionally wrenching trial moments they have ever witnessed.

    Kohberger Wants His Guilty Plea Reversed. Families Say: "Bring It On."

    Trying to take back his guilty plea: Bryan Kohberger wants another bite at the apple. After admitting under oath that he murdered four University of Idaho students in 2022 - Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin - Bryan Kohberger is asking an Idaho court to undo the guilty plea that spared him from the death penalty. After being sentenced to life in prison, he has now filed for post-conviction relief, raising new questions in this high-profile true crime case: How is this even possible? Could he actually walk free?  And why are some victims' families saying "bring it on" to a new trial? In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with former Idaho Attorney General Dave Leroy, who has spent decades in Idaho's legal system, to break down the latest developments in the University of Idaho murder case. What happens if Kohberger actually gets a second chance? We revisit the powerful victim impact statements delivered at his sentencing and learn why today’s guest says Kohberger's attempt to withdraw his guilty plea reflects a narcissistic desire for control.  Dave Leroy has personal connections to this case - he visited the house at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho years before it became one of the most infamous crime scenes in the country, and he even knows some of Bryan Kohberger’s defense team personally.  Today, he examines Bryan Kohberger's latest legal move with his expert perspective.

    Facts vs Rage: Can Lindsay Clancy's Jury Stay Unbiased?

    What does it take to be a juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial? As week two begins in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, jurors are facing one of the hardest assignments in the criminal justice system: separating heartbreaking evidence from the law. They have already heard Patrick Clancy's emotional 911 call, watched first responders struggle through testimony, and seen evidence from inside the Duxbury, Massachusetts home where 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan died in January 2023.  Today’s expert explains what it takes to separate emotion from fact in cases that push jurors to their limits. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with Jury Consultant and Body Language Expert Susan Constantine to discuss the emotional toll trials like this take on juries. She has spent years studying how juries respond in some of America's most emotionally devastating trials. She attended the Casey Anthony trial in 2011, and worked with the jury consulting firm that helped select jurors for Andrea Yates' retrial in 2006, where Yates was ultimately found not guilty by reason of insanity in the drowning deaths of her five children.  We revisit and react to some of the most brutal evidence the jury has seen so far in the Lindsay Clancy trial, like the prosecutor holding up the exercise bands used in the deaths of the children and the pajamas they had on the night they died. Right before the jury heard the 911 call, the judge instructed them to separate their emotions from the facts in the audio they were about to hear - Susan offers her expert perspective on whether this was a realistic expectation. The jury will ultimately decide whether Lindsay Clancy should be convicted in the deaths of her children or found not guilty by reason of insanity based on her defense of postpartum psychosis. Before they reach that verdict, they must answer a difficult question: how do you judge a case this heartbreaking based on the evidence alone?

    Kidnapped at 17 Days Old: Can Your Tip Bring Kevin Verville Home After 46 Years?

    HELP FIND KEVIN: 46 years ago, 17-day-old Kevin Verville Jr. was abducted near Oceanside, California.  His family has been waiting for answers ever since. But now there may be hope. After NCMEC asked the public to share Kevin's story last year, new tips came in — and the FBI is actively following up on those leads today. But those tips alone may not be enough. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, Anne Emerson talks with Kevin's sister, Angelica Ramsey. She describes how the woman she believes was responsible for Kevin’s kidnapping went door to door through apartment complexes searching for a baby, deliberately targeting military families and looking for lower-ranking service members.  Angelica was joined by Angeline Hartmann, Director of Communications for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), who lays out the criminal profile investigators use in these cases: typically a woman who has recently lost a baby or has been lying about being pregnant, and needs to produce a child to keep up the deception.  Kevin's father put it simply when asked what he'd say to the woman who took his son: "I don't want to talk to her. I just want my baby."  If you know anything, say anything — this family has waited long enough. More on Kevin: Have you seen this child? Kevin Art Verville

    Mother Who Survived Postpartum Psychosis Reacts to Lindsay Clancy Trial

    What does postpartum psychosis actually feel like? As the Lindsay Clancy murder trial continues, jurors will hear from experts about postpartum psychosis. But there's one perspective they won’t hear, and it’s an important one - the judge ruled that women who have personally lived through postpartum psychosis cannot testify about their own experiences. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Kathryn Myers, a mother who survived postpartum psychosis and is sharing her story to raise awareness about the reality she experienced. Kathryn describes hearing voices, seeing shadow figures, and living in fear as the illness escalated after the birth of her child. Her goal isn't to declare Lindsay Clancy's guilt or innocence, but to help people understand what postpartum psychosis can actually feel like from the inside. Lindsay Clancy’s defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of her children’s deaths in January 2023, and should be found not guilty by reason of insanity, while prosecutors contend she was fully aware of her actions. After Kathryn Myers shared her story online, thousands of women responded, describing similar hallucinations, intrusive thoughts, and fears they had been too afraid to tell anyone about. These stories reveal an often misunderstood condition that remains at the center of one of the most closely watched true crime trials in America.
