Authorities located a Wisconsin woman in Illinois on Sunday, just a day after she reportedly cut off her ankle monitor and left her group home without permission.

Waukesha County District Attorney Lesli Boese indicated her intention to push for the revocation of Morgan Geyser’s conditional release, as reported by WMTV.

Boese mentioned that it is up to the Dane County District Attorney’s Office to decide if they will press charges against the 23-year-old Geyser for tampering with her Department of Corrections ankle monitor and absconding from her assigned group home in Madison.

Earlier this fall, Geyser was transferred to a group home to receive treatment for a psychotic spectrum disorder, although the specifics of the facility’s location remained confidential under court order. Boese noted that if the motion is filed, Geyser could be returned to an institutional setting or a hospital instead of remaining in a group home environment.

Reports suggest that the Wisconsin Department of Corrections reached out to the group home about two hours after Geyser’s ankle monitor signaled a malfunction on Saturday. At that point, officials discovered that Geyser had already fled the premises.

However, Madison police stated that they did not become aware of Geyser’s disappearance until Sunday morning, when someone from the group home contacted them.

Geyser, 23, vanished with an adult acquaintance in Madison, Wisconsin. According to CBS, Geyser and a 42-year-old man were later found sleeping on the sidewalk after Posen, Illinois, police were called about two people loitering behind a building. Geyser allegedly gave officers a false name before saying she did not want to disclose her identity because she had “done something really bad.” At some point, Geyser reportedly suggested officers could “just Google” her.

According to reports, the man Geyser was found with whas been charged with criminal trespassing and obstructing identification, as he also lied about his identity. He has since been released from custody.

Madison police Chief John Patterson explained on Monday that they do not get a Department of Corrections apprehension request immediately due to how common they are.

Patterson said that officers handling these cases review a timeline and communication between the agencies, according to WMTV.

Geyser was 12 in 2014 when she and Anissa Weier nearly stabbed a female classmate to death. After a sleepover celebrating Geyser’s 12th birthday, she and Weier lured the classmate to the woods  — where they stabbed her 19 times and left her for dead.

The girls claimed they carried out the attack to appease “Slender Man,” an internet meme. They also said they believed their families would be harmed if they did not attack their classmate, who survived.

Geyser and Weier were found not guilty due to mental disease or defect. Weier was released from a mental institution in 2021. Geyser remained institutionalized despite seeking her release on four occasions.

However, in March, a judge granted Geyer’s petition for conditional release. In July, a Sun Prairie group home rescinded its offer to take in Geyser as a resident. Geyser’s attorney said it was due to negative publicity.

Regarding the possible motion, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told the news outlet that they have not received a referral. However, Ozanne said Madison police are investigating.

Geyser, who remains in custody, will be transferred to Cook County jail for an extradition hearing.
