She reportedly discussed suicide with officers, including the possibility of another attempt in the future. Yet when investigators approached her at the hospital, her willingness to speak appeared to end.
After a detective read Harrison her Miranda rights and asked whether she would explain what had brought her to the hospital, she allegedly replied that she was “suicidal, not stupid” and refused to answer questions about the deaths.
At a news conference on Tuesday, October 13, Mancuso confirmed that Harrison remained hospitalized in police custody. But one of the most haunting questions surrounding the deaths remained unanswered.

Mystery Deepens as Prosecutors Admit They Have No Motive
During Tuesday’s news conference outside the Pocono Township Police Department, Mancuso was pressed about what could have driven the alleged killings.
As reported by PennLive, the district attorney acknowledged that determining a motive remained one of the investigation’s most difficult challenges. Authorities have not publicly established a motive for the deaths. The same report identified the couple’s son, listed in court records as “T.H.,” as Tristan Harrison, based on information provided by relatives.
Mancuso said investigators were continuing to examine the evidence in an effort to understand what unfolded inside the hotel room. He also stressed that Harrison remains presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove the charges against her beyond a reasonable doubt.
