Metallica Harrison Charged in 2 Killings as Police Probe Drained 401(k) and Brought Knives

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 15

Summary

  • 27-year-old Metallica Harrison remains jailed without bond after being charged with killing her husband, Chaz Harrison, and their 3-year-old son in a Great Wolf Lodge room on Oct. 12.
  • Court records and family accounts point to possible preplanning: police found kitchen knives, blood and medications in the room, and Harrison’s stepmother said the knives came from home and a 401(k) may have been drained.
  • The killings ended the family’s unusual three-week stay at the Poconos resort, where rooms can cost hundreds of dollars and as much as $2,000, prompting questions about how the couple financed it.
  • Police were first called after Harrison reported she was suicidal, and authorities said the double-homicide investigation remains active and ongoing.
