Lindsay Clancy Part 2: The Patrick Theories, Psychosis & What This Case Really Raises

PART 2 of a 2 part Episode. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses the deaths of children, suicide, psychiatric illness, psychosis and other potentially distressing topics. We’re starting Part 2 exactly where my own rabbit hole into the Lindsay Clancy case began: Patrick Clancy. There are countless theories circulating online questioning Patrick’s version of events and suggesting that there may be more to what happened that night. In this episode, Dr. Vassel and I go through some of the things people are pointing to, the alleged inconsistencies that have fueled those theories, and whether there could be other explanations for what people are seeing. And then our conversation goes somewhere I think is even more important. We get deeper into Lindsay’s mental state, psychosis, severe sleep deprivation, psychiatric medications and medication changes — and the difficulty of determining what was actually happening inside her mind at the time. We talk about the defense, the medical system surrounding Lindsay, the limitations of psychiatric care, and the uncomfortable questions this case raises about responsibility, treatment and what can happen when someone continues to deteriorate despite actively seeking help. There is so much about this case being debated online, and the trial is still unfolding. Some of what we discuss — particularly theories involving Patrick — is speculation and has not been established as fact. We’re discussing those claims because they have become a significant part of the public conversation surrounding this case, not presenting them as proven. For those following the trial, Law&Crime Network has been providing courtroom coverage on YouTube.

Lindsay Clancy Part 1: Postpartum Mental Health, 13 Medications & How We Got Here

This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Episode ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses the deaths of children, postpartum mental illness, suicide, psychiatric medications and other potentially distressing topics. The Lindsay Clancy case is one I became low-key obsessed with for a very different reason than I expected. I initially fell down the rabbit hole because of the theories circulating online about Lindsay’s husband, Patrick — including speculation that he may have been involved and that Lindsay’s mental health was being used against her. But the deeper I went, the more my focus shifted. This case opened up a much bigger conversation about postpartum mental health, psychiatric care, medication, motherhood, and what happens when a woman is desperately seeking help but continues to get worse. In Part 1, I sit down with Dr. Vassel to talk about postpartum anxiety and depression, insomnia, Lindsay’s journal entries, the 13 psychiatric medications she was prescribed in a relatively short period of time, the changes in her treatment, and the fragmented system of care surrounding her. We also talk about why so many women have connected with Lindsay’s journal entries — not because they relate to what happened to her children, but because they recognize the anxiety,, pressure and overwhelming expectations of motherhood described in her own words. How does someone who was actively seeking help, had family support, access to medical care and the ability to advocate for herself end up here? And what can this case teach us about the gaps that still exist in maternal mental-health care? The Lindsay Clancy trial is ongoing. If you want to follow the courtroom proceedings yourself, Law&Crime Network has been providing trial coverage on YouTube. #lindseyclancy

The Disappearance of Ryan Shtuka: What Really Happened? (Part 2)

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you haven't already, be sure to listen to Part 1 first, where I walk through Ryan's life, the events leading up to his disappearance, and the timeline of what happened on the night he vanished. This episode builds directly from that conversation. In Part 2, my sister, Dr. Vassel, and I dive deeper into the unanswered questions surrounding Ryan Shtuka's disappearance. Together, we discuss publicly available information, witness accounts, investigative details, and the theories that continue to surround this case nearly eight years later. After recording our original conversation, Dr. Vassel spoke with someone who has spent years independently searching for Ryan and researching the case. That conversation raised additional questions and provided new perspectives, so we recorded a follow-up discussion that's included in this episode. Our goal is not to sensationalize Ryan's disappearance or present speculation as fact. Any theories discussed in this episode are exactly that—theories. We hope that by having respectful conversations and keeping Ryan's story in the public eye, someone may remember a detail, come forward with information, or help move this case one step closer to answers. If you have any information about Ryan Shtuka's disappearance—no matter how insignificant it may seem—please contact: Kamloops RCMP Non-Emergency: (• Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers BC.Ryan's family has never stopped searching for him. They continue returning to Sun Peaks every year, hoping to finally bring their son home. Thank you for listening, for keeping Ryan's name alive, and for approaching this conversation with compassion. If this episode reaches even one person who remembers something or encourages someone to come forward, then sharing Ryan's story is worth it. Please share this episode with anyone you can to ensure we get more eyes and ears on this case. Hopefully someday Ryans family can get the answers they deserve.

The Disappearance of Ryan Shtuka (Part 1)

In February 2018, 20-year-old Ryan Shtuka vanished after leaving a house party in Sun Peaks Resort. He was only a 10–15 minute walk from home, yet he was never seen again. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I take you through Ryan's story from the very beginning—who he was before he became a missing person, why he moved to Sun Peaks, the events leading up to the night he disappeared, and the massive search effort that followed. We'll break down the known timeline, the witness reports, the unanswered questions, and the details that continue to puzzle investigators nearly eight years later. More importantly, we'll remember Ryan as the son, brother, friend, and hardworking young man he was—not simply as a missing person. Later in the episode my sister, Dr. Vassel, joins me as we discuss the case in depth, explore the publicly known evidence, and examine some of the theories that continue to surround Ryan's disappearance. If you have any information—no matter how small—that could help Ryan's family or investigators, please contact: • Kamloops RCMP Non-Emergency: 250-828-3000 (Reference File #2018-4992) • Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip online through Crime Stoppers BC. Ryan's family continues to search for answers and returns to Sun Peaks every year in hopes of bringing him home. If sharing this episode reaches even one person who knows something, it could make all the difference. If you enjoy thoughtful discussions about true crime, documentaries, and the stories that stay with us, be sure to follow Low-Key Obsessed and share this episode to help keep Ryan's story alive.

How I Almost Got Recruited Into NXIVM: Inside One of North America's Largest Cults

After hearing about NXIVM on Kate Casey's podcast and watching the documentary The Vow, I realized something shocking: years earlier, I had attended a NXIVM recruitment event and was personally encouraged to join by people featured in the documentary. In this episode, I share my firsthand experience with the recruitment process, how NXIVM was marketed as a personal development and business coaching program, and the red flags that ultimately stopped me from signing up. I also break down the history of NXIVM, Keith Raniere, the Executive Success Programs (ESP), the infamous sash ranking system, V-Week, DOS, and how one of the world's most notorious cults managed to attract intelligent, successful, and educated people from all walks of life. We'll talk about The Vow, Sarah Edmondson's role in both promoting and later exposing the organization, and the surreal experience of watching the documentary only to recognize people I knew in the footage. This is the story of how I almost got recruited into NXIVM—and why looking back, being left out may have been the best thing that ever happened to me. #NXIVM #TheVow #KeithRaniere #SarahEdmondson #CultDocumentary #TrueCrimePodcast #CultSurvivors #KateCasey #LowKeyObsessed #TrueCrimeCommunity #DocumentaryReview #CultPsychology #PodcastRecommendation #Seduced #DOS
