Wisconsin Woman Cuts Bracelet, Leaves Home After Slender Man Stabbing
A 22-year-old woman from Wisconsin, Morgan Geyser, has gone missing after cutting off her monitoring bracelet and leaving a group home. This incident has raised significant concerns among local authorities. Officials reported that she was last seen on Saturday night around Kroncke Drive, accompanied by an adult acquaintance.
Background of Morgan Geyser
Geyser gained notoriety in 2014 when she, along with accomplice Anissa Weier, was involved in a brutal stabbing incident. The victim, Payton Leutner, was lured to a park in Waukesha after a sleepover and was stabbed 19 times as part of a misguided attempt to please the fictional horror character Slender Man.
At the time of the attack, all three girls were just 12 years old. Geyser and Weier fled following the stabbing but were apprehended on Interstate 94. The girls believed that they needed to commit the crime to become Slender Man’s servants and feared for their families’ safety if they failed.
Legal Proceedings and Mental Health Treatment
In 2017, Morgan Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide, asserting that she was not mentally responsible for her actions. Subsequently, she was sentenced to 40 years at a psychiatric facility by Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren. Anissa Weier faced similar charges, receiving a 25-year commitment but was released in 2021 after meeting specific conditions.
Current Situation
- Last seen: Saturday night near Kroncke Drive.
- Group home location: Madison, Wisconsin.
- Previous residence: Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
- Duration at psychiatric facility: Approximately 7 years.
Law enforcement has released a recent image of Geyser captured on security footage, but as of Sunday morning, her exact whereabouts remain unknown. The community is urged to report any sightings or information regarding her location to the authorities.
