Police: Woman Said ‘The Mummy Returns’ Inspired Her To Fatally Stab Father

When police arrived on the scene around 3 a.m., they found Anthony Nicassio suffering from a stab wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:30 a.m.

During an interview with detectives, Christina said stated that she “got played by Hollywood.” When asked for clarification, she said “in a movie, someone who can’t love someone else, they stab their father.”

When asked what movie that was from she replied “The Mummy Returns.”

"The arrest of former Pitt Panther Christina Nicassio for allegedly stabbing her father to death stunned greater Pittsburgh's soccer community — especially those who coached and played alongside the Plum woman for years and perceived her to be a hard-working role model on the field.

“Everybody is reeling from this, for Christina and for her family,” said Sue-Moy Chin, who was head coach of University of Pittsburgh's women's soccer team while Nicassio was on the team from 2007-10. “Completely, completely out of character. We keep thinking, ‘This is not her.' ”

Nicassio, 27, is being held in the Allegheny County Jail on a homicide charge for the murder of her father, UPMC internist and primary care physician Anthony Nicassio, 69, who died of stab wounds to his chest inside his Capri Court home at 3:30 a.m. Saturday, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said.

Hours earlier, Christina Nicassio grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and when her father tried to take it from her, she stabbed him twice because she “felt the world was ending,” a criminal complaint said.

Her parents — worried she needed medical intervention after breaking up with her fiancé and beginning to speak nonsensically — were trying to restrain their daughter and get her into a vehicle to check into Forbes Hospital for treatment, the complaint continued.

“They were trying to take me to the hospital to figure out what's wrong with me,” she told police. “I didn't want to go.”
When officers pressed why the Plum High School graduate believed her dad “had to die,” she initially replied, “I don't know,” then later referenced Hollywood and the movie, “The Mummy Returns.”
“In a movie, someone who can't love someone else, they stab their father,” she told police."


This took place very close to where I live. Sounds like this doctor was stabbed to death as our local police sat outside waiting for backup. How sad.
 
"Just hours after she was arrested and accused of fatally stabbing her father, Christina Nicassio repeatedly rushed headfirst at a cell wall in the Allegheny County Jail.

Ms. Nicassio, 27, told an officer “she should have done it” before she was booked. She*was taken by ambulance to Allegheny General Hospital in stable condition on Saturday, shortly after the 2:45 p.m. incident, according to jail reports obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Her attorney, Patrick Thomassey, said Ms. Nicassio received four stitches in her head and returned to the Allegheny County Jail on Sunday. She is now being closely observed and evaluated by the jail’s mental health team."

Woman charged in father's death deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial

A forensic psychiatrist determined Christina Nicassio is mentally incompetent to stand trial in the death of her father, says Patrick Thomassey, Nicassio’s attorney.

According to Channel 11 News’ exchange partner Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Nicassio, 27, will likely go to a state hospital for psychiatric treatment before she can appear in court. The decision will likely be made at a hearing Monday morning.

Psychiatrist Christine Martone notified Thomassey that Nicassio is not fit to stand trial in her current mental state, according to the Tribune-Review.

“I’ve done over 100 homicides in my career, and this is one of the saddest ones I’ve ever had,” Patrick Thomassey said.

Thomassey says it’s still one of the saddest cases in his 48 years of practicing law. About every month, Nicassio checks in with a judge at the Allegheny County Courthouse.

[...]

Nicassio spent three years at Torrance State Hospital, which is one of six in the state. Now, she’s in a long-term residential treatment facility under county care. Thomassey says she’s doing well.

[...]

Nicassio is scheduled to be back for a status hearing on May 15. There’s no indication that those monthly check-ins are going to end anytime soon.
