months after Lindsay killed their children – Cora, Dawson, and Callan, he began dating Rachel in 2024 While Patrick moved to New York in 2023. The two tied the knot in April 2026, months before Lindsay’s trial over the children’s murder began in Massachusetts. Patrick Clancy and his new wife, Dr Rachel Danis , have been subjected to fresh public scrutiny amid the Lindsay Clancy trial .
However, the trial has led to unfounded public speculations about Patrick having an affair with Rachel before Lindsay took the kids’ lives. Now, a 2022 work trip to New York has caught the public’s attention and further fueled these rumors surrounding the two.
If they remained unmarried, prosecutors or the defense attorney could have called her to the stand to testify under oath about their relationship timeline, probing whether they were secretly seeing each other prior to reported dates. It doesn’t matter that she wasn’t physically in Massachusetts during the tragedy, witness testimony can still be used to establish state of mind, intent, and timeline inconsistencies. By marrying her right before trial, spousal privilege now legally shields her from being forced onto the stand as a witness. Connecting all these pieces in such a tight window raises MAJOR questions!,” the person added . Fast forward and he eventually marries Rachel, a NYC fertility doctor. “Maybe every bit of it has a completely innocent explanation. However, these speculations go to show the kind of public scrutiny Patrick and his new wife, Rachel Danis, are finding themselves under. A TMZ report noted that the duo were seen having a ‘tense’ conversation amid Lindsay’s trial.
“Fast forward to May 2023, just four months after the tragedy, and he moves directly to Manhattan New York. It was reported Patrick and Rachel didn’t start dating until February 2024 but they could have been seeing each other prior and **why would he move there 4 months after the tragedy? Then, in April 2026, right before the trial, they officially got married and that timing carries massive legal weight. Another said “Patrick started working for Microsoft in 2020 in enterprise/business software. Rachel Danis was already a fertility doctor in NYC, joining RMA of New York in 2022. Then January 2023 happens. And by May 2023, barely 100 DAYs after his three children died and wife almost died Patrick moved from Massachusetts to MANHATTAN. There is no indication that Patrick knew Rachel when he traveled to New York for his work trip in 2022.
Because he was cheating on his wife and wanted a new life it’s obvious, don’t say he was grieving and trying to get away, we all know.
He admitted that he was traveling for “work trips,” including trips to New York. But when a man was already traveling to NYC for “work,” then moves there months after losing his children, and eventually marries a woman who was already working there…I’m sorry, but I want to see the FULL timeline,” the person further said.
