Morgan Geyser, ‘Slender Man’ stabber, captured after fleeing group home
Morgan Geyser, known for the 2014 ‘Slender Man’ stabbing, has been captured after escaping from a group home in Wisconsin. Geyser, along with her friend Anissa Weier, lured a classmate into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, claiming they did so to appease the fictional character Slender Man.
Authorities reported that Geyser fled the group home on Thursday afternoon, resulting in a search operation. She was captured a few hours later near Interstate 94 and taken back into custody without incident. The details surrounding her escape remain unclear at this point.
Geyser has been serving a 40-year commitment in a mental health facility after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for the attack in 2014. The incident sent shockwaves through the community and raised concerns about internet influence on vulnerable individuals.
The group home staff are cooperating with the authorities in the investigation of Geyser’s escape. No further information has been disclosed about the incident.
This recent event has reignited discussions about the handling of violent offenders with mental health issues and the need for increased security measures in such facilities.
