The national search for Morgan Geyser, the Wisconsin woman who was convicted in the infamous 2014 “Slender Man” stabbing incident, has concluded, authorities revealed on Sunday night.

The Madison Police Department announced that Geyser was apprehended in Illinois at around 10:34 p.m., bringing the high-stakes manhunt to a close.

According to the police, Geyser had managed to elude authorities after removing her monitoring bracelet from the Department of Corrections and fleeing a group home in Madison on Saturday night.

Her escape was made public by the Madison police through a social media update on Sunday.

“Morgan Geyser was last observed in the vicinity of Kroncke Drive around 8 p.m. in the company of an adult acquaintance. As of Sunday morning, her current location was unknown,” stated the department in their post.

“The Madison Police Department was notified of her disappearance Sunday morning.”

“A recent image of Geyser, captured on security video from this past month, is attached below. If you see her, please call 911,” police added.

In 2017, Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the violent stabbing of Payton Leutner, but claimed she was not responsible due to her mental illness.

She told investigators she tried to kill Leutner to please the horror character Slender Man and was ultimately found not guilty by reason of mental defect. 

Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weier, were 12 when they lured Leutner into a wooded park during a sleepover in May 2014.

Geyser, encouraged by Weier, stabbed Leutner 19 times.

Leutner miraculously survived the attack.

Geyser has been in custody at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute for the last seven years.

She was initially sentenced to 40 years in the psychiatric hospital and was permitted to ask the court to consider her conditional release every six months.

Police told local outlet WMTV that Geyser was staying at a group home in Madison before she disappeared.
