起诉书指出,这名拨打911的来电者被确认为来自托万达(Towanda)的27岁女子梅塔利卡·罗斯·哈里森(Metallica Rose Harrison)。她在电话中称自己“太虚弱,无法刺自己的脖子”,并说“我需要警察”。
The 911 caller -- identified in the complaint as 27-year-old Metallica Rose Harrison of Towanda -- reported that she was "too weak to stab my neck" and "I need police," according to the complaint. During the call, Harrison allegedly said she had knives but they were "not working," and that she needed "help dying," according to the complaint.
起诉书称,通话期间,哈里森声称自己虽然有刀,但“刀用不了”,并表示自己需要“帮助去死”。当被问及是否独自一人时,她据称回答说:“我的丈夫和儿子已经死在床上了”,并补充道:“他们已经走了,对不起。”她在整个通话过程中并未请求对丈夫和儿子提供帮助。
When asked if she was alone, she allegedly said that "my husband and son are already gone in the bed," and, "They're already gone, I'm sorry," and did not at any point on the call request help for them, according to the complaint. Harrison allegedly told responding officers that she "wanted to be with her husband and son," who were both found dead on mattresses in the room, according to the complaint.

Harrison had cuts on her left wrist and "superficial punctures about the neck," according to the complaint. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. During the ambulance ride, she allegedly said she took medication to help thin her blood and "expressed verbal frustration that the blood was clotting when [it] wasn't supposed to," the complaint stated.
起诉书称,哈里森左手腕有割伤,颈部有“浅表性穿刺伤”。她已被送往当地医院接受治疗。起诉书指出,在救护车运送途中,她声称自己服用了稀释血液的药物,并“口头表达出对血液在不应凝固时发生凝固的沮丧情绪”。
"Everyday, I work so hard. To be the best person, the best mother, the best wife. It wasn't supposed to end like this. I was supposed to have my happy family. That's what I envisioned since I was a child," she allegedly said, according to the complaint.
“我每天都那么努力,为了成为最好的人、最好的母亲、最好的妻子。事情本不该以这种方式结束。我本应该拥有一个幸福的家庭。那是我从小以来的梦想,”据起诉书称,她曾这样说道。
据起诉书称,当一名侦探向哈里森宣读米兰达警告,并询问她为何会来到医院时,她回应称自己“想自杀,而不是愚蠢”,并表示不愿与警方交谈。
When a detective advised Harrison of her Miranda warning and asked to speak to her about what brought her to the hospital, she allegedly responded that she was "suicidal, not stupid," and advised that she was not willing to speak with police, according to the complaint.
起诉书称,当局并未在她身上发现任何防御性伤痕,而她被控犯有两项刑事谋杀罪。
Authorities did not observe defensive wounds on her body, according to the complaint, which charges her with two counts of criminal homicide.
