Morgan Geyser, now 23, was one of the perpetrators of the horrific 2014 stabbing of her classmate, Peyton Leutner, motivated by a belief in the fictional character Slender Man.
After spending years in a mental institution, Geyser was released to a group home, where she was monitored due to her history of violence.
In a shocking turn of events, Geyser escaped in November 2025 by cutting off her ankle monitor, leading to a swift and intense nationwide manhunt.
Less than 24 hours later, she was apprehended at a truck stop in Illinois, sparking media frenzy and raising significant concerns about supervision protocols for those released into the community.
During her escape, Geyser was found with a 42-year-old man, drawing attention to her motivations and the complexities of her rehabilitation.
Following her recapture, discussions emerged regarding her extradition back to Wisconsin, as her case continues to evoke chilling reflections on the intersection of digital culture and real-life violence.
