Slender Man Case Update: Wisconsin Woman Goes Missing After Removing Monitoring Bracelet

Share and Follow

In Madison, Wisconsin, local authorities are actively searching for Morgan Geyser, one of the individuals convicted in the infamous Slender Man stabbing incident, after she allegedly removed her monitoring bracelet.

Geyser had confessed to attempting to fatally stab a classmate in 2014, driven by a desire to appease the fictional online entity known as Slender Man.

The Madison Police Department released a recent image of Geyser, who reportedly removed her Department of Corrections bracelet and left a group home late on Saturday, November 22.

According to reports, Geyser was last seen around 8 p.m. in the company of an “adult acquaintance.” As of Sunday morning, her location remains unknown.

Officers are asking anyone who might know of Geyser’s whereabouts to call 911.

Geyser was placed in a group home this year after being granted conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She was sent to the psychiatric institute in 2018 after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison.

Geyser’s attorney, Tony Cotton, did not immediately respond to a message left Sunday.

Authorities say Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weier, were 12 years old when they lured their classmate, Payton Leutner, to a suburban Milwaukee park after a sleepover. Geyser stabbed Leutner more than a dozen times while Weier egged her on. Leutner barely survived.

The girls later told investigators that they attacked Leutner to earn the right to be Slender Man’s servants and they feared he’d harm their families if they didn’t follow through.

Slender Man was created online by Eric Knudson in 2009 as a mysterious figure photo-edited into everyday images of children at play. He grew into a popular boogeyman, appearing in video games, online stories, and a 2018 movie.

Weier pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree intentional homicide. She was also sent to the psychiatric center and granted release in 2021.
