Chad Mecca Arrest: Key Details on His Connection to Morgan Geyser
Morgan Geyser, known for her involvement in the infamous Slender Man stabbing case, was recently arrested alongside Chad Mecca. The 43-year-old man was reportedly introduced to Geyser at Good Shepherd Church. They were discovered by the Posen Police Department sleeping behind a gas station in Posen, Illinois.
Details of the Arrest
Posen police conducted a welfare check on Geyser and Mecca after finding them at the Thorntons Gas Station located at 14840 Western Ave. Initially, both individuals provided police with false identities. However, upon further inquiry, Geyser revealed her true identity, prompting law enforcement to check her history online.
Background of Morgan Geyser
Geyser, one of the two teenagers involved in the 2014 stabbing incident, explained her relationship with Mecca during a police interview. She stated that their friendship began a few months prior at church. Due to restrictions at her group home, they devised a way to meet clandestinely, including sneaking through a window.
Geyser confessed to cutting off her ankle monitor with scissors, a device intended to track her location. The couple had aspirations of traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, but their journey led them to Posen after taking a Greyhound bus from Wisconsin to Chicago. Stranded without funds, they stopped at the gas station where they were found.
