A family visit to the popular Pocono Mountains resort ended in tragedy when police discovered a father and toddler dead inside a hotel room. The child’s mother has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide.

SCOTRUN, PA — A 27-year-old Pennsylvania woman has been charged with killing her husband and their 3-year-old son inside a guest room at Great Wolf Lodge in the Pocono Mountains, turning a stay at the popular family water park resort into a double homicide investigation.

Metallica Rose Harrison, of Towanda, Pennsylvania, faces two counts of criminal homicide in the deaths of her husband, Charles Harrison, and the couple’s young son.

Officers from the Pocono Township Police Department responded to the resort at approximately 3:13 p.m. Monday, October 12, after receiving a 911 call from Harrison reporting that she was suicidal.

Police entered Room 2030 and discovered the bodies of an adult man and a 3-year-old boy.

Both victims had suffered apparent stab wounds, according to court documents.

Mother allegedly called 911 after killings

According to the criminal complaint, Harrison contacted emergency dispatchers seeking assistance after allegedly attacking her family.

Responding officers found Harrison suffering from injuries to her neck and wrist.

Investigators also recovered knives from the guest room as part of the homicide investigation.

Harrison was transported to a hospital for treatment and subsequently charged in connection with both deaths.

Authorities have not publicly established a motive for the killings.
