US EditionWisconsin woman in 2014 Slender Man stabbing is found a day after walking away from group home
Morgan Geyser, conditionally released from psychiatric care, removed her ankle monitor and fled a group home before being found at a truck stop in Illinois with an adult companion.
- On Monday, Morgan Geyser, 23, was found at a truck stop in Posen, Illinois after cutting off an electronic monitoring device and leaving a group home, and she was taken into custody.
- This year, Geyser was moved to a group home after conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute, where she had been sent in 2018 following a plea deal for a 2014 stabbing.
- The Department of Corrections alerted authorities Saturday night after a monitor malfunction and issued an apprehension request shortly after midnight, but Madison Police Department was notified nearly 12 hours later.
- Officers took Geyser into custody without incident at the truck stop; she initially gave a false name, said she had `done something really bad` and faces extradition in Cook County Tuesday.
- The 2014 attack was linked to the fictional Slender Man created by Eric Knudson, when Geyser and Anissa Weier lured Payton Leutner and Geyser stabbed her 19 times, though Leutner survived.
