Wisconsin Woman Who Stabbed Classmate Goes Missing After Cutting Off Monitor

URGENT UPDATE: A Wisconsin woman, Morgan Geyser, aged 23, is missing after cutting off her electronic monitoring device and leaving a group home. Authorities in Madison issued a public alert on August 27, 2023, stating she was last seen around 8 p.m. on Saturday with an adult acquaintance.

Police are urging the public: “If you see Geyser, please call 911.” The alert highlights that Geyser removed her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet shortly before disappearing.

Geyser was placed in the group home earlier this year following her conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She had been admitted to the psychiatric facility in 2018 after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide for her role in a shocking 2014 attack on her classmate, Payton Leutner.

In a disturbing incident, Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weier, then just 12 years old, lured Leutner to a park after a sleepover. Geyser stabbed Leutner more than a dozen times, while Weier encouraged the attack. Leutner miraculously survived, but the psychological scars run deep.

The girls claimed they were compelled to commit the crime to prove their loyalty to the fictional character Slender Man, fearing he would harm their families if they failed. The Slender Man character was created online in 2009 and has become a notorious cultural figure, appearing in various media.

Weier also faced charges and pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree intentional homicide. She was released from the psychiatric center in 2021.

This latest development raises serious concerns about public safety and the ongoing impact of this chilling story on the community. Authorities are actively searching for Geyser and request anyone with information to come forward.

Stay tuned for updates as this situation unfolds.
