Key Points:
- Metallica R. Harrison, 27, was arrested for fatally stabbing her husband, Charles Harrison, 36, and their 3-year-old son at the Great Wolf Lodge waterpark hotel in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, where the family had been staying for three weeks.
- Harrison had recently withdrawn her 401K retirement savings to fund the expensive trip, and evidence suggests she planned the killings, bringing knives from home and ensuring her son enjoyed the waterpark before the attack.
- Police found multiple stab wounds on Charles and a single stab wound on the child; Harrison called 911 claiming she was suicidal and was hospitalized after attempting to cut her throat.
- Investigators recovered knives matching those from the family home, medication bottles, and blood evidence; a search warrant was executed at the family residence for financial records and technological devices.
- Harrison remains in custody without bail facing two counts of homicide, with a preliminary hearing set for October 21; the family and community are grieving and seeking answers about the motive behind the tragedy.
