Everyone has an opinion. Few have read the record. The Perfect Collapse is a true crime podcast examining high-profile criminal cases through court filings, medical timelines, and legal records, starting with the case of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy, killed by their mother, Lindsay Clancy. Mental illness is real, and this show takes it seriously — that's exactly why we go to the primary sources instead of talking points. This podcast does not exist to humanize or excuse the actions of Lindsay Clancy. If you're here to listen to a defense for Lindsay's actions, this isn't the podcast for you.

While I truly wanted to like this pod, the reporting is very biased. I came into this being told it's based on facts, not opinions. But after the first episode it seems everything has been opinion based since then. It's very clear the stance she holds. It makes it so hard to listen to. I wanted "just the facts" and now I'm having to sort out what is fact and what is Shelia's opinion. A hot take opinion, at that. Would like to know if she is a psychiatrist or therapist full time to be diagnosing Lindsay with NPD.
Lindsay’s case is absolutely tragic and this podcast provides an even balance of the information on both sides. Justice for Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
Came here hoping to educate myself on the facts of this case. Highly disappointed. This could be a good podcast if it were actually fact focused. Instead, the host takes the facts and twists it to fit a narrative and diagnosis that it is impossible to make by only reading case files. Is she even qualified to diagnose someone with NPD? Is she an actual forensic psychologist? If so, that should be introduced and there should be a disclaimer that says her reporting is NOT fact based, but her own opinion, as I’m assuming she’s not a psychologist who has evaluated and diagnosed Lindsay in person.
This is an incredibly biased viewpoint of this case. If you already think Lindsay Clancy is a narcissist, this podcast will give you fodder for your opinion. As a nurse myself, I have spent my career advocating for my patients. When it comes to my own health, I too ask questions, seek second opinions, and want to find the medicine that works best with the fewest side effects. This podcast suggests Lindsay’s advocacy for her own mental health is narcissistic and maleficent. The writers and producers clearly do not understand the healthcare system, including the role of its clinicians and professionals. I appreciate opposing viewpoints, but not misrepresentation of facts.
