Lindsay, Patrick’s ex-wife, is facing trial for killing their children – Cora, Dawson, and Callan on January 24, 2023. The Lindsay Clancy trial has put focus on Dr Rachel Danis , who is currently married to Patrick Clancy .
Amid the trial, several social media speculations have been made regarding the relationship between Patrick and Rachel. Some have sought to blame the two for the kids’ deaths, while others have hinted at an affair. To be sure, these claims come from unverified profiles. Authorities firmly believe Lindsay Clancy acted alone in taking the lives of the kids and neither Patrick nor Rachel appear to be on their radar. However, these speculations have continued, and a recent post has questioned whether Lindsay Clancy was ‘exposed’ to Elagolix, a drug used in a trial Dr Rachel Danis was a part of. Here’s all you need to know about the wild claims and the Dr Rachel Danis’ Elagolix trial. A post on the matter noted “Dr. Rachel Danis, Patrick Clancy’s current wife(and who he was seeing while still married to Lindsay, allegedly) is an endocrinologist and fertility specialist practicing in New York. She was involved in testing the efficacy and application of this drug. “What caught my attention, is the list of other side effects: headaches, nausea, stomach pain, and constipation. If you’ve been following the trial too, go back and look at what was happening with Cora. She was reportedly struggling with several of these same symptoms. Then look at Lindsay. Other effects associated with Elagolix, particularly with longer term use or overuse, include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, and irregular or missed periods. More serious risks include severe psychiatric disturbances, mood changes, decreased bone mineral density, and potential liver enzyme elevations. A lot of what Lindsay had going on overlaps with this side effect profile. And when I think about the bone density loss specifically, I can’t help but wonder about Lindsay’s fractures. What would her results have shown if they had performed a DEXA scan? What is her actual bone density?,” the person went on to ask.
As per reports, Patrick began to date Rachel in 2024, about a year after his children’s deaths and the two ended up tying the knot in April 2026, months before Lindsay’s trial. In 2019, she received a grant to personally run a trial involving a drug called elagolix, with the study concluding in 2021.
Lindsay Clancy claimed that she heard a voice telling her to kill the children. They were found strangled with exercise bands, and Lindsay was found in the backyard after she had jumped out of the bedroom window trying to take her own life. Given that some symptoms of postpartum depression and psychosis are similar to side effects of the drug Elagolix, the claims have risen about Lindsay’s possible exposure to the same. However, the same has not been proven in the course of the authorities’ investigation.
