Story summary

Article 1

Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, of Towanda, Pennsylvania, is accused of killing her husband Charles and their three-year-old son TH at the Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun, Pocono Township. Police found Charles and TH dead with stab wounds to their chests after responding to a call about a suicidal woman. The woman was injured herself and taken to St Luke’s Hospital.

Article 2

The stepmother of Metallica Harrison says she believes the murders were preplanned. She claims that before their three-week stay at the Great Wolf Lodge, Metallica possibly drained her family's 401(k) account and brought kitchen knives from home for use in the crime.

Article 3

Police searched Harrison’s home in Towanda to find clues about the motive behind the murders. The search warrant application suggests that evidence at the house could connect a knife found at the crime scene with other items and reveal information on the incident's motive.

Article 4

Metallica Rose Harrison was booked for two counts of criminal homicide after allegedly stabbing her husband Charles and their three-year-old son Tristan at the Great Wolf Lodge. Police seized nearly a dozen knives from the family's home during an investigation to uncover evidence related to the motive behind the crime.
