Slender Man attacker won’t contest state’s effort to revoke release privileges after escape

Morgan Geyser, who stabbed a classmate 19 times in 2014 to please Slender Man, accepts revocation after fleeing GPS monitoring with a companion, state officials said.

  • Morgan Geyser won't contest the state's bid after state health officials filed a sealed petition with Waukesha County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner on Nov. 25.
  • In 2014, Geyser and Anissa Weier lured classmate Payton Leutner to a Waukesha park and later told investigators they attacked to impress Slender Man; both were committed to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
  • Judge Scott Wagner approved a July plan to release Morgan Geyser to a Madison group home on GPS monitoring, despite opposition from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, which argued she couldn't be trusted.
  • On Nov. 22, authorities say Geyser cut off her GPS and fled with a 43-year-old companion, who said they became friends at church and saw each other daily for a month; police arrested them the next day outside Chicago.
  • Geyser stabbed Payton Leutner 19 times, narrowly missing her heart, and Leutner barely survived, in a case tied to Slender Man created by Eric Knudsen in 2009.
