A woman from Wisconsin She almost killed her sixth-grade classmate To please the horror villain Slender Man and then He escaped from a group home She won’t fight the state’s attempt to revoke her parole privileges.
Waukesha County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner signed off on a plan in July to release 23-year-old Morgan Geyser from a state psychiatric hospital where she has spent the past seven years, and place her in a group home in Madison under GPS monitoring.
The Department of State Health Services opposed her release, arguing that Geyser could not be trusted. Authorities say she cut off her GPS monitoring device on Nov. 22 and fled the state with a 43-year-old companion. Police arrested them the next day at a truck stop outside Chicago, about 170 miles (274 kilometers) south of Madison.
State health officials submitted a sealed petition to Wagner on Nov. 25 asking him to revoke Geyser’s parole privileges. Geyser’s attorney, Tony Cotton, sent a letter to the judge Tuesday in which he said he discussed “the allegations in detail” with her and that she had decided to contest the plea and notify prosecutors. He did not provide further details and declined to comment when reached by email on Wednesday.
The decision paves the way for Wagner to return Geyser to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. The state Department of Health Services runs the institute.
Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weier, lured one of their classmates, Payton Leutner, to a Waukesha park in 2014. Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times, narrowly missing her heart, while Weier encouraged her. Lautner barely survived the attack. The three girls were 12 years old at the time.
Geyser and Ware later told investigators that they attacked Lautner in hopes of impressing Slender Man. The girls said that they wanted to have the right to become his servants and make sure that Slender Man would not harm their families. Both were eventually committed to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute — Geyser for 40 years and Weier for 25 years. Weier is up for parole in 2021.
Geyser’s companion called WKOW-TV the next day police found them in Illinois. The two became friends at church and have been seeing each other daily for the past month, the person said. Geyser I decided to flee That person said she was afraid the group wouldn’t let them see each other.
