Meanwhile, neighbors began sharing what little they knew about the family at the center of the tragedy. Several residents described the Harrisons as private people who largely kept to themselves.
But one neighbor, speaking off camera, revealed that they had occasionally heard yelling coming from the property. Another resident, Lee Henry, who had lived along Pratt Avenue for more than a decade, said he had rarely interacted with the family.
He did, however, remember seeing the couple’s young son playing outside during the summer. Henry described the Harrisons as a family who generally stayed close to home rather than socializing around the neighborhood.
Other residents expressed sympathy for the relatives now grappling with the deaths of a father and his little boy.
As investigators examined both the resort room and the family’s Towanda property, another devastating case involving a mother and her children offered a reminder of the complicated questions that can arise when family tragedies intersect with mental health.

While the criminal complaint identified the youngest victim only as “T.H.,” relatives have since revealed his full name. The 3-year-old boy was Tristan Harrison, as PennLive reported.
