Murder-Suicide

Here are the crime scene photographs shown in court during Lindsay Clancy's murder trial ... and they're disturbing.

The pics were taken inside and outside Lindsay's Massachusetts home -- where she allegedly murdered her three kids -- and they show a bloody knife, the exercise bands prosecutors allege were used to kill the kids, various medications Clancy was prescribed, and the second-story bedroom window where she allegedly attempted to take her own life.

A Massachusetts State Police crime scene supervisor testified investigators documented blood evidence in several locations inside the home ... including the bedroom, a nightstand where the knife was photographed, a mirror and the windowsill. He said investigators also examined evidence outside the home, including stains near the window.

Emotional outburst from Lindsay Clancy ... she broke down sobbing in court while the medical examiner testified in her triple-murder trial.

When Dr. Barbara Olson took the stand on Wednesday, Lindsay started crying so hard that the judge had to call a break and get the jury out of the room.

Dr. Olson was describing 5-year-old Cora's autopsy ... mentioning bruising and discussing the pain and damage associated with dying from strangulation.

Huge update in the suspected murder-suicide down in Florida ... TMZ has obtained audio of a concerned friend asking police to do a welfare check ... and she told cops alleged killer Ryan Whiten was suicidal.

Listen to the clip -- a distraught friend of Melanie Hyer called police June 2 after she and Melanie's sister hadn't heard from her for at least a day. She says right from the get-go that Ryan has made it clear in the past he's suicidal ... which is why the friend is so worried about Melanie's well-being.

The woman even says she sent a neighbor over to the house to check in on them ... but received no answer and saw no movement despite both Melanie and Ryan's cars being in the driveway. She also notes the oven is open and a light is on, which she feels is strange.

The legal battle surrounding the estate of the late Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffy is heating up ... but his ex-wife says their children aren't interested in anyone else's assets -- they just want the keepsakes their father intended for them.

Stephanie Ramsay tells TMZ she's aware of the recent court filing by Sara Gilson's ex-husband -- Lyle Landers -- but says her priority remains protecting her children during an already difficult time.

The mother of Jeremiah's children tells us, "We are aware of Lyle's filing. However, I'm focused on our kids during this time. My children don't want anything of Sara's, haven't asked for anything of hers and never expected anything."

Influencer Sara Gilson and her husband Jeremiah Duffey died in a murder-suicide -- and now Gilson's ex is trying to prevent Duffey's "beneficiaries" from profiting off the brutal slaying, according to new court docs.

In a July 29 filing, Gilson’s former husband Lyle Landers states that Gilson had no will at the time that Duffey allegedly shot her, and then took his own life in Oklahoma. Gilson was killed by Duffey on July 23 -- less than two weeks after she accused Duffey of being a pedophile in a video posted to TikTok.

The docs say Landers made every effort to find a probate will for Gilson but came up empty at every turn.

Sara Gilson's ex-husband is covering all of her funeral expenses ... telling TMZ he spent his birthday picking out her burial plot.

Lyle Landers tells us he promised Sara's parents she would have a proper funeral and offered to pay for everything because he is in a more stable financial position than her family.

Lyle says he remained close with Sara and her family throughout the 18 years they knew each other, even after they both remarried ... because "'Til death do us part" wasn't just something he said at their wedding.

The Michigan murder-suicide not only saw the shooting deaths of two parents and six children, but also the gruesome deaths of a bunch of pets who were found inside the family's "house of horror" ... TMZ has learned.

Ottawa County Sheriff's Office Captain Jake Sparks tells TMZ ... after police and firefighters responded to the Karolkiewicz house on July 24, they found at least 3 dead dogs and one dead cat inside the home. The pets all died from smoke or fire, and there may have been more pets who perished.

Sparks also said the bodies of Kristopher Karolkiewicz, 47, and his wife, Amanda “Mandy” Karolkiewicz, 39, were discovered in their bedroom. The couple's 4 sons and twin daughters -- ranging in age from 5 to 11 -- were found in their bedrooms as well.

The ex-wife of Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey, who is accused of fatally shooting Sara Gilson before taking his own life, says there will be no funeral for him ... telling TMZ his own children decided he didn't deserve one.

Stephanie Ramsay tells TMZ ... under Oklahoma law, Shawn's children were considered his next of kin and were responsible for making decisions after his death ... revealing to us they ultimately chose not to hold a funeral due to his actions, including his child sexual abuse allegations.

Instead, Stephanie tells us Shawn will be cremated, and his ashes will be placed in a family plot at a funeral home.

The Michigan wife whom cops say was murdered by her husband Kristopher Karolkiewicz along with their six kids -- detailed his "shattering" affair 2 years before the shocking killing.

TMZ uncovered many of what appear to be Amanda "Mandy" Karolkiewicz's Reddit posts from 2 years before her murder ... and she was active on threads relating to affairs and healing marriages post-cheating. In one of the posts, Mandy spoke about how learning of her husband's affair would have life-long affects on her.

The post reads ... "My husband had an EA 4.5 years ago (I still suspect it was more physical than he’s ever admitted to), and I still have major triggers from time to time. Day to day we’re great, but when I get triggered, it’s shattering."

Federal prosecutors have closed their investigation into Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey following his death in an apparent murder-suicide involving his wife, social media influencer Sara Gilson.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma tells TMZ ... the office had been investigating allegations Duffey inappropriately touched a juvenile member of the traveling basketball team he coached, with assistance from the FBI.

The spokesperson says the allegations were unrelated to domestic violence and the probe is now closed because Duffey is deceased.

However, Owasso Police's investigation into the deaths remains ongoing.

A wife was allegedly murdered alongside her 6 kids ... 2 years after posting online that her husband was having an affair with a younger intern.

According to law enforcement, Kristopher Karolkiewicz shot and killed his wife, Amanda "Mandy" Karolkiewicz, and their 6 children on July 24 in their home in Grand Haven Township, MI. They say he then set their home on fire before shooting himself.

The Detroit News reports that a Reddit account they independently verified was linked to Mandy -- based on matching details about marriage dates, kids, ages, jobs and where they lived -- reveals the couple had a rough relationship, and once accused Kristopher of cheating.

The account for username "MandyK1179" mentioned her husband's alleged affair back in 2024, commenting in a thread ... "He was divorced and older than me … fast forward ten years and five kids, he was cheating with the intern again -- the same age I was when I was the intern."

Influencer Sara Gilson filed a protective order against her husband Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey and claimed he threatened suicide ... weeks before he killed her and himself.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Sara beelined it to court on June 10 to file for a protective order, after her husband Shawn was accused of kissing a 14-year-old girl while he was coaching basketball practice.

Sara claims she has two teens that reside in her home -- that are not his children -- whom she'd like to protect and "keep safe."

The murder trial for Lindsay Clancy enters day 2 ... and her ex-husband Patrick took the stand to reveal the horrifying scene he saw when he found the children's bodies.

Clancy is accused of strangling Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan with elastic workout bands at her Duxbury, Massachusetts home -- before she tried to kill herself.

Opening statements were Monday in a horrific case ... and Clancy's ex-husband Patrick took the stand, and he defended her.

Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey allegedly inappropriately touched a juvenile girl he coached, just weeks before police say he killed his influencer wife, Sara Gilson, and himself in a suspected murder-suicide ... and cops say Duffey was the subject of multiple state investigations involving the same alleged victim.

According to police documents, obtained by TMZ, the player and a parent reported Duffey to Owasso Police on June 9 ... about an hour after the alleged incident at an Oklahoma elementary school.

Police say another coach witnessed Duffey allegedly touching the girl, immediately intervened, and alerted her parent. Duffey allegedly fled the school before officers arrived and was not seen by Owasso Police afterward.

Newly obtained dispatch audio captures the frantic moments before authorities discovered influencer Sara Gilson and her estranged husband, Jeremiah "Shawn" Duffey, dead inside their Oklahoma home.

In the audio, obtained by TMZ, a 911 dispatcher tells responding officers they could hear a woman "screaming and crying" during a call connected to the residence in Owasso late Thursday night.

The dispatcher is heard saying "I'm trying to reach him back, but I could hear a female in the background screaming and crying. Some sort of loud bang in the background" as the officer is seemingly referring to the caller who initially contacted authorities.

A popular TikToker was allegedly killed by her estranged husband -- who then took his own life -- earlier this week after telling her followers he was a pedophile ... according to reports.

Sara Gilson and Jeremiah “Shawn” Duffey were found dead in her home in Owasso, Oklahoma, on Thursday. They both suffered gunshot wounds.

According to the local outlet KTUL, a family member told police Duffey allegedly broke into the home, killed Sara and then himself. Despite the allegation, cops have not formally called this incident a murder-suicide yet.
