🚨 “HE USED OUR SON TO BETRAY ME”: Sitting in the interrogation room with an eerily blank expression, 27-year-old Metallica Rose Harrison finally broke her silence on why she butchered her husband and 3-year-old son in Room 2030 at the Great Wolf Lodge.
POCONO MOUNTAINS, PA — The horrific double homicide inside Room 2030 at the Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos has taken a sinister and deeply disturbing turn following the unsealing of police interrogation records.
State police and Monroe County prosecutors have confirmed that 27-year-old Metallica Rose Harrison, of Towanda, Pennsylvania, sat before homicide detectives with an eerie, stone-cold composure, showing zero remorse as she detailed the deadly motive behind the brutal slayings of her husband, Charles Harrison, and their three-year-old son, T.H.
Initial emergency calls placed at 3:15 p.m. on Monday, October 12, painted a picture of a distraught mother discovering a terrible tragedy after she calmly told 911 dispatchers that her “husband and son are already gone.”
However, following her discharge from St. Luke’s Hospital in Stroudsburg and transfer to the Monroe County Correctional Facility, unsealed court filings reveal that Harrison delivered a cold-blooded confession that left veteran investigators visibly shaken.
According to precinct transcripts, Harrison confessed to executing both family members after discovering evidence of her husband’s prolonged extramarital affair—and realizing that her three-year-old toddler was being manipulated by his father to actively cover up the betrayal during their three-week resort stay.
