Woman accused of stabbing herself and her child, then blaming man
Story here. This is an incident that occurred on a greenbelt trail in the Denver suburb of Wheat Ridge about a month ago. It was reported as a man stabbing a woman and her toddler child, and there was a manhunt for the man. I almost didn't see this follow up to this story in which it turned out that the woman allegedly stabbed herself and her child and blamed the man. This was during the major flooding in Colorado that week, so this new story slipped under my radar until now. Excerpt:
'The investigation into last month’s Wheat Ridge Greenbelt-area double-stabbing took a bizarre twist last week after police arrested the woman who was once thought to be a victim in the case – no accused of trying to pin the attack of her and her child on a man who she claims raped her years ago.
Stephany Harwood, 21, of Lakewood was arrested last week, and was being held at the Jefferson County jail on a felony charge of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury. She was given a $100,000 bond.
Police believe that Harwood was the one who stabbed herself and her toddler son on a walking trail on Aug. 22. Harwood then allegedly concocted a story to try to place the blame on Marvin Gean Wilson – a man with a lengthy criminal history and whom Harwood claims she has known since she was a girl.'
