Blood Evidence

Keyword: Blood

Notice: This archive documents claims, it does not automatically endorse them.

Confirmed blood, passive drips, transfer stains, untested marks, and reconstruction limits.

Overview

Evidence cards distinguish what a record is from what a party or observer infers from it. Open a source beside each claim and use the connection panel to follow the evidence thread.

Connections

Physical Evidence - The knife, bedroom, and exterior include confirmed or suspected blood evidence.
Window & Exterior Evidence - Window and exterior reconstruction relies partly on blood transfer evidence.
Investigative Limits & Mistakes - Not every observed red-brown mark was fully tested.

Card #01: About 6:09 p.m. · return and window

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/10

Patrick's account of the silent house.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Patrick described unusual silence, a closed basement door, a locked bedroom, blood, an open window with the screen raised, and Lindsay's phone on the bed. [Trial Day 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3oGUuSo7JQ)

[SWORN TESTIMONY] He then found Lindsay conscious outside and testified that she said she had tried to kill herself and that the children were in the basement.

Card #02: Confirmed locations

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/93

The tested portions of the scene.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Confirmed blood was described in the basement, in a bedroom floor cluster, on the interior bedroom sill, in snow or yard material, and on the knife blade. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #03: Scene and post-event evidence

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/27

Physical facts and a contested inference.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] The public evidence includes an open bedroom window, blood and transfer patterns, a knife, exercise bands, Lindsay's exterior DNA, and severe fall injuries. [Trial Day 5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ol0huRYsso) · [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc) · [Trial Day 7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YuM1a0J08Y)

[ALLEGATION] The prosecution contends the self-harm and exit were planned or limited rather than the product of psychosis; no verdict had adopted that interpretation. [Trial Day 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v9vz_Nw3lE)

Card #04: Bedroom floor pattern

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/94

A passive source characterization.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] The blood-pattern witness characterized the bedroom floor as primarily passive dripping and accumulation from a stationary bleeding source, with transfer features also present. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #05: Knife

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/38

Collection and comparison limits.

[VERIFIED FACT] The warrant return records a large blood-covered kitchen knife on a nightstand below the open bedroom window. [Warrant packet](https://www.insideedition.com/sites/default/files/inline-files/Linday%20Clancy%20Search%20Warrant.pdf)

[SWORN TESTIMONY] No usable latent print suitable for comparison was recovered from the knife. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

[UNKNOWN] A lack of usable prints does not establish who did or did not handle an object. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #06: Interior and exterior sill transfers

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/95

Contact without a directional conclusion.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] The analyst described sill staining as transfer consistent with a bloody hand or object contacting the surfaces but could not identify the object or direction of movement. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

[SWORN TESTIMONY] She agreed that a bloody person leaning or hanging through the window could create transfers and said continuous wall contact would tend to produce a more continuous smear. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #07: June 18–29, 2026

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/66

Pretrial evidence rulings.

[VERIFIED FACT] The court permitted a limited jury view, required reliability review before a blood-pattern demonstration, and allowed the 911 call with a limiting instruction.

Card #08: Uncollected or incompletely tested marks

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/96

The record does not resolve every red-brown observation.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Red-brown marks reported on a mirror, bedroom door or doorknob area, and above the first-floor window were not all collected, confirmatorily tested, or evaluated by the pattern analyst. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #09: June 15 shingle collection

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/90

Exterior samples collected almost five months later.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Investigators returned on June 15, 2023, to collect shingle material; several stains screened presumptively positive, and limited material was preserved for DNA rather than consumed by confirmatory blood testing. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Hartnett acknowledged that months of weather exposure can degrade biological material. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #10: What blood evidence cannot establish alone

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/97

Pattern interpretation has a defined scope.

[UNKNOWN] The public pattern testimony does not identify a second actor, prove staging, or provide a complete biomechanical reconstruction of the window exit.

Card #11: Exit mechanism remains unresolved

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/92

DNA and transfer do not supply biomechanics.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] The blood-pattern witness said sill transfers were compatible with a bloody hand or object contacting the surface and could be produced while leaning or hanging, but she could not determine direction of travel. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

[UNKNOWN] The public evidence does not by itself distinguish a jump, controlled lowering or drop, accidental fall during an attempt, or another exact exit mechanism; a biomechanical reconstruction would be needed. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #12: Marks not fully tested

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/106

Incomplete coverage of red-brown observations.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Marks on the mirror, door or doorway, and lower exterior area were not all collected, confirmatorily tested, or reviewed by the blood-pattern analyst. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #13: Trial Day 6 · August 4

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/115

Injuries, fingerprints, toxicology, and blood patterns.

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Witnesses addressed severe fall injuries, pill bottles, collection methods, the absence of usable prints on the knife and bands, initial toxicology, and passive-drip and transfer patterns. [Official Court TV stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #14: Theory point: window and blood

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/124

Incomplete reconstruction is not proof of another actor.

[SPECULATION] The sill and blood distribution have been cited online as disproving Lindsay's exit and implying a staged fall. [Trial Day 6 evidence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Two exterior shingle profiles strongly supported Lindsay, and the sill transfers were compatible with bloody contact while leaning or hanging; the analyst could not determine movement direction. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc) · [Trial Day 7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YuM1a0J08Y)

[UNKNOWN] The exact exit mechanics remain unresolved and require biomechanics; that gap does not identify Patrick or a third party. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #15: Incomplete sampling

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/133

Why some reconstruction questions remain open.

[UNKNOWN] The unsampled exterior sill and incompletely tested marks prevent a complete public reconstruction, but a gap in evidence does not select among competing causes by itself. [Trial Day 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQoa0AtT_fc)

Card #16: Untested stains and earliest scene state

Canonical URL: https://lindsay.conspirograph.com/topic/blood-evidence/card/137

Evidence lost or unavailable to public review.

[UNKNOWN] The public record does not resolve every red-brown mark, the original exterior-sill material, all pre-rescue item positions, or a complete minute-by-minute scene-entry and handling log.
