True Crime

The new wife of Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband Patrick Clancy is speaking out ... and she's tired of all the conspiracy theories tied to her hubby, and the noise surrounding their relationship.

In a new preview that aired today on "CBS Mornings," teasing Patrick's highly anticipated "60 Minutes" interview Sunday, Rachel Danis says ... "I don't understand how the story has been so twisted."

She adds ... "I would hope people know that Pat is, as I said before, the most selfless father and supportive partner. And I was just a girl that met a guy running in Central Park on a really cold Saturday. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

The holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is calling BS on claims that he had reasonable doubt ... insisting he's convinced she meticulously planned to kill her kids.

Michael Péguy Desronvil is speaking out personally for the first time ... trying to clear up confusion about what went down in the jury room of Lindsay's murder trial that ended in an 11-1 deadlock.

In a statement to TMZ, Desronvil said, "I didn't have any doubts. As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence presented."

The 1993 cold case murder of a 10-year-old Maryland boy may finally be solved ... a 61-year-old man has now been charged with rape and murder in the youngster's death.

The Prince George's County PD announced that Joseph Lynch was charged Wednesday for the May 1993 disappearance and murder of George "Junior" Burdynski in Brentwood. Back then, local police and federal investigators searched high and low for Burdynski, but they couldn't find the child, and his remains have never been recovered. 

However, the department's cold case unit continued to investigate and finally got its big break in May 2026 when investigators interviewed a former resident of Brentwood who was 13 at the time.

Two fifth-grade teachers at the same Wisconsin elementary school are now convicted of sex crimes involving minors ... and somehow, the story gets even more bizarre.

Former River Crest Elementary teacher Abigail Faust pleaded guilty Monday to child enticement and second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16. The 25-year-old admitted to sexually assaulting two 15-year-old boys -- including one whose family employed her as a nanny.

Faust's former coworker and friend, 26-year-old Madison Bergmann, had already pleaded guilty to child enticement and sexual misconduct involving an 11-year-old student ... and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Lindsay Clancy was guilty of murdering her three young children right from the start ... so says the lone juror whose vote triggered a mistrial in her murder case.

The juror, known only as Michael, sat down Tuesday for an interview with Ray Marcel on "Fugitive TV" to finally tell his side of the story after other jurors spoke out on his behalf and, according to him, gave wrong information.

On Wednesday, Marcel appeared on Chris Cuomo's show on NewsNation, telling the host that Michael believed Clancy was guilty from the moment she walked into the Massachusetts courtroom.

Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband Patrick Clancy says he still maintains a relationship with his children Cora, Dawson and Callan even though they're dead ... claiming he communicates with them every day.

In a teaser for his upcoming "60 Minutes" interview ... Patrick revealed he asks his late children for "help" ... and says he talks to them "all the time."

As you know ... Lindsay's murder case has led to some online users creating conspiracy theories that Patrick allegedly framed Lindsay for their children's murders.

Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband testified in her defense during her murder trial, and now he's sitting down for a big TV interview with "60 Minutes."

The popular CBS program shared a teaser for the interview Wednesday afternoon ... showing members of the "60 Minutes" team micing up Patrick Clancy before he sits for the interview.

Patrick looks nervous as he sits ... before the teaser cuts to black.

The program captioned the post, "Patrick Clancy. This Sunday. Only on 60 Minutes."

Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen were seen for the first time as JonBenét Ramsey's parents in a photo from the upcoming TV film about the slain beauty queen.

The actors are set to star as JonBenét's parents, Patsy and John, in Netflix’s "The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey." The photo shows the actors recreating a famous interview with the couple given months after JonBenét died.

JonBenét was found dead inside her family home on December 26, 1996. The police never found who murdered the 6-year-old.

Tawnia McGeehan, who allegedly killed her daughter Addi Smith in a murder-suicide while in Vegas for a cheer competition, had several medications in her system at the time she took her and her daughter’s lives, TMZ has learned. 

TMZ obtained the Clark County Medical Examiner report for Tawnia and Addi’s deaths. The document listed the causes of their deaths as gunshot wounds to the head.

The report said Tawnia’s ex-husband called cops for a welfare check after failing to get ahold of the two in February 2026. 

Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey from Netflix's "Making a Murderer" are hoping to get shorter sentences for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach, because they've applied to the governor's commutation advisory board.

According to court docs obtained by FOX11 in Wisconsin, Avery continued to maintain his innocence in his application, writing ... "I did not commit this crime. I feel bad for Teresa Halbach's family because they had to suffer such a tremendous loss. But I did not cause their loss."

Avery wrote that he has a good prison conduct record and hopes his letters of support from family and friends would be enough to sway the board. He says that if he's released, he plans to start his own autobody business.

The Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, doesn't sound like a model inmate ... because he was reportedly caught with drugs and disciplined for smuggling a package into prison.

The convicted murderer allegedly tried to smuggle a package into the Clinton Correctional Facility in July and was later found with drugs ... this according to disciplinary records obtained by The New York Post.

Unclear what was in the alleged package, or what specific drugs he allegedly had ... but he's set to face the music next week ... there's a Sept. 18 hearing scheduled.

Corie Walsh planned on killing her husband when he arrived home after she killed her son ... at least according to prosecutors.

The 40-year-old charged with murdering her 2-year-old boy made another court appearance Wednesday ... where new details about the alleged crime came to light ... including some startling new allegations.

Prosecutors laid out a timeline for the day Corie's son was found dead by a neighbor ... claiming two other children who live at the home showed up, looked at the scene, then immediately ran and contacted a neighbor.

Bryan Kohberger's family has his back as the convicted killer wages a legal battle to withdraw his guilty plea in a quadruple murder.

Kohberger's family attorney, Jason Goldman, tells TMZ ... Bryan has the support of several members of his family, including his parents and sisters, with whom he's been in contact from prison.

As you know, Kohberger cut a 2025 plea deal with prosecutors in which he copped to the murders of 4 University of Idaho students. In 2022, the killer broke into an off-campus home, where most of the victims lived, and fatally stabbed them as they slept in the wee hours. Because he confessed and agreed to a life sentence, prosecutors took the death penalty off the table.

Lindsay Clancy looks like she has a real shot at freedom after her murder trial ended in a mistrial ... and if that happens, she'd probably be thrilled to do what Rachel Danis is doing here ... shopping for groceries.

TMZ obtained photos of Patrick Clancy's new wife perusing a Whole Foods in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday ... the first time we've seen her in public since the shocking end to Lindsay's trial in Massachusetts.

It looks like Rachel just got done with a workout or a run ... and she's fueling up.

Three jurors from Lindsay Clancy's murder trial are breaking their silence after the case ended in a mistrial ... and they're ripping the lone holdout who kept them from reaching a verdict.

Three female jurors sat down with NBC10 Boston for more than an hour in the first interview from any juror since the mistrial ... saying they believed Clancy was not criminally responsible for killing her children and praised defense attorney Kevin Reddington -- with one saying she'd hire him herself if she ever needed a lawyer.

They were much harsher on the prosecution, saying they felt prosecutors showed no compassion ... but their biggest issue was the lone holdout juror.

Lindsay Clancy's parents' GoFundMe has raised more than $1 million ... just as their daughter's murder trial ends in a mistrial.

The Musgrove Family Fund has collected $1,167,727 from 34,400 donations toward its $3 million goal as of Saturday.

Organizer Brandee Mulligan says the money is intended to help Mike and Paula Musgrove recover from the financial strain of supporting Lindsay throughout her criminal case.
