Prosecutors in the case against Lindsay Clancy presented evidence of her online search activity, which included queries related to hallucinations, psychosis and suicide methods. The trial of the Massachusetts woman has shifted focus to her digital footprint and what it reveals about her mental state in the period leading up to the deaths of her three children.
