A family getaway to a popular Pocono Mountains waterpark resort ended in a double homicide inside Room 2030 on Monday afternoon.
Pocono Township police officers rushed to Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun shortly after 3:00 p.m. following a frantic 911 call from 27-year-old Metallica Rose Harrison.
First responders arrived at the second-floor hallway and found Metallica Harrison bleeding from self-inflicted wounds near the open doorway of the room.
Officers pushed past the doorway and discovered her husband, 36-year-old Charles “Chaz” Harrison, dead on a mattress on the floor with multiple knife wounds to his chest.
Nearby on a separate mattress, police officers located the couple’s three-year-old son dead from what appeared to be a single knife wound to his chest.
Crime scene investigators recovered two knives inside the bathroom, including a large butcher knife on the floor and a smaller knife on the sink counter.
Resort management told detectives that neither knife belonged to the property or matched the standard kitchen items provided in guest suites.
Police noted that Metallica Harrison apologized during her 911 call, stated her family was gone, and never asked dispatchers for medical assistance for her husband or child.
Paramedics transported Metallica Harrison to St. Luke’s Hospital–Monroe Campus in Stroudsburg, where she told an escorting officer that she was supposed to have a happy family.
