After Friday\u2019s announcement confirming a hung jury and a mistrial for Lindsay Clancy \u2014 in the murders of her three young children \u2014 Reddington told reporters that he was moving ahead with a defense for Kelsie Cote in the 2022 death of her grandmother, Doris Cote.<\/p>\n

Referring to Cote as \u201ca very nice young lady,\u201d Reddington told the press, \u201cBetween Lindsay and Kelsie, I\u2019ll get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prosecutors have alleged that Kelsie Cote, now 30, had attacked her 74-year-old grandmother with a pair of scissors and a paperweight in Doris\u2019s home office \u2014 and then dragged or moved her body to the stairs in an effort to disguise the injuries and make it appear as though the elderly woman had fallen \u2014 between 7:30 p.m. and midnight on Halloween night, 2022.<\/p>\n

Cote told authorities that she discovered her grandmother\u2019s body around 10 a.m. on November 1. Six hours later, she called her father for help \u2014 and he was the first to dial 911 when he arrived. Investigators quickly found several injuries that did not make sense if Doris Cote had fallen: sharp force injuries to the back of her head as well as at least one cut on her thumb that appeared to be defensive in nature. They also found evidence suggesting that Doris had been killed in her office and dragged to the stairs.<\/p>\n

Police also found bloody towels and cleaning solution near where they believed Doris was killed \u2014 and Kelsie explained that she\u2019d tried to clean up because she believed her grandmother was a \u201cclean freak\u201d and would be mad about the mess.<\/p>\n

Cote had reportedly been close to her grandmother in years past \u2014 even living with her for a time \u2014 but Berkshire District Attorney Timothy Shugrue said she\u2019d developed a drug addiction that factored into the killing.\u00a0Shugrue also said that Cote had allegedly gotten her grandmother to name her as beneficiary of an estate worth more than $1 million.<\/p>\n

Shugrue told local news outlet The Berkshire Eagle that Cote had made several damning internet searches prior to her grandmother\u2019s death \u2014 including one detailing the anatomy of the human skull. Bloody clothes \u2014 along with the scissors and paperweight Cote was accused of using to kill her grandmother \u2014 were reportedly found in the younger woman\u2019s 2014 Chevrolet Malibu.<\/p>\n

Cote, as reported by The Eagle, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including \u201cfirst-degree murder; armed assault to murder a person over 60; two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a person over 60; and evidence tampering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cote\u2019s trial was delayed by Reddington\u2019s involvement with the high-profile Clancy case, but following its dramatic conclusion on Friday, he is scheduled to appear at an evidence suppression hearing for Cote on September 28. It is unclear what evidence Reddington is looking to suppress.<\/p>\n
