Great Wolf Lodge: Mother Charged in Deaths of Husband and Son

A 27-year-old Towanda woman is charged with two counts of criminal homicide in the deaths of her husband and their 3-year-old son, who were found Monday (Oct. 12) in a guest room at Great Wolf Lodge in Pocono Township, according to the Pocono Record. Metallica Rose Harrison is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

What Officials Say. Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso called it a “violent domestic tragedy” at a news conference Tuesday (Oct. 13) and said there is no threat to public safety. Coroner Thomas Yanac said autopsies will be done later this week. Great Wolf Lodge has called it an isolated family incident and says it is cooperating with police.

What the Complaint Says. The family checked in Sept. 21 and extended their stay through Oct. 13, according to the criminal complaint. Harrison declined to speak with police.

What We Don’t Know. We have not found a court date, and the autopsy results are still to come. We will update you as the case moves.
