Mom accused of stabbing her husband and son, 3, to death at resort before making chilling confession
Pennsylvania authorities say Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, was found injured at a Pocono Mountains resort after her husband and three-year-old son were found dead in their hotel room. The case matters as a serious family homicide investigation; the district attorney said there was no wider public threat.
Police say Harrison called for help on Monday and told the operator that her husband and son were dead. The husband had multiple stab wounds to the chest and the child had one, according to the report; officers found two knives and containers believed to hold blood. The family had been staying at Great Wolf Lodge since 21 September and had extended their booking. Harrison faces two counts of criminal homicide, and it is unclear whether she has entered a plea.
