The mother who allegedly murdered her husband and 3-year-old son at Great Wolf Lodge drained the husband’s 401(k) to pay for the three-week trip, according to the New York Post.
Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, is accused of using her husband's retirement money to pay for the trip, which was reportedly an early Christmas present for her child, and a new kitchen remodel.
"It was definitely odd, but they’d taken their 401(k) out… There was nothing we could do about that," the stepmom of Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, said to the NYP.
The stepmother, April Thetga, said that the murder weapon, a set of knives, was allegedly brought from their home.
"I was told the knives came from her home. Her house. So to me, it was planned," Thetga told the outlet.
It's unclear whether Harrison was inspired by Lindsay Clancy, but it's worth noting that the Clancy trial ended on September 4 and the family checked into the Great Wolf Lodge on September 21.
The Pennsylvania mother reportedly video-called family members hours before the slayings and was acting totally normal. She was happy and said she loved them very much.
The mother, who was an in-home caregiver, complained to police about how "hard" she worked to be the "best mother."
