A woman who stabbed her sixth-grade classmate to win favor with a fictional internet character named “Slender Man” more than a decade ago left a group home where she’d been living after cutting off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet, Wisconsin police said.

Morgan Geyser, 23, was last seen in a residential neighborhood in the west side of Madison around 8 p.m. Saturday with an adult acquaintance, according to police.

“Her whereabouts are unknown as of Sunday morning,” Madison Police said in a statement.

Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier, both 12 at the time of the crime, lured their 12-year-old classmate into a park in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in 2014, where they stabbed her 19 times to impress Slender Man, a boogeyman for the internet age.

The victim survived, crawling to safety before she was discovered by a passing bicyclist.

At age 15, Geyser pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted first-degree murder in a deal with prosecutors to be placed in a mental institution instead of serving jail time.

In January, a judge ordered she could be released from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute, where she spent nearly seven years, The Associated Press reported.

In August, a facility in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, declined to take her due to negative publicity they were receiving about the potential move, according to CNN affiliate WMTV, but Madison police confirmed with the news station Geyser is currently living at a group home in Madison, on the same street where she was last seen.

I remember following this story closely, watching all the interviews with the killers, and I always felt bad for this girl, it seemed that she was deeply mentally ill (the kind of schizophrenia or similar neurological problem where they really can't completely control themselves), and the other one was much smarter and seemed to manipulate Morgan and throw her under the bus. I'm not surprised she's been living in mental facilities ever since, that was probably the poor girl's fate even if the stabbing never happened. Hoping she just wandered off and didn't meet an ironic fate herself from another resident
 
I've long been of the opinion that the argument that "kids' brains aren't fully developed until 24" is a flimsy one from a criminal justice defense perspective. If anything, we should be more wary of a sick little monkey that starts skinning neighborhood dogs young and treat them more cautiously going forward, not less with greater forgiveness. Whatever cocktail of mental illnesses responsible for such antisocial behavior in the first place is likely to get worse from a common sense perspective.
 
Anyone who actually bought that she was delusional and did it "for slenderman" is a fucking moron. She was just a little sociopath who wanted to kill someone, simple as, and now she's a full grown sociopath who's going to cause trouble her entire life.

You know, I had some belief that she was so young & delusional at the time of the crime, she could be rehabilitated.

This just changed my mind.

Sending a kid to grow up in an insane asylum is probably not the best way to make sure they grow up to be normal and well-adjusted.

I remember at the time I was convinced that she was pretending to have schizophrenia to look cool. Before autism and troonism, edgy teens were pretending to have schizophrenia, DID, "clinically diagnosed" psychopathy, etc. But apparently she was actually diagnosed with schizophrenia? Or at least, I think the EWU video covering the case said that. I don't know how true that is.

Experience teaches us all eventually that such a empathetic belief, while it may come from a genuinely good place, is far more harmful and damaging than simply killing these loons no matter how old they are. Especially in our modern society.

Particularly now since because I bet the first thing she did was throw all of her meds in the trash.

Her father was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She had a long history of strange thinking even considering her young age. (She claimed to have Vulcan mind powers, for instance. Even her teachers thought her behavior was odd.)

She definitely bought into the slender man thing. We have troves of emails she sent back and forth with her accomplice detailing their thinking and motivation.

Growing up in a psych ward wouldn’t make her well adjusted. But with medication management, supervision, and time I figured she would be at the very least non-violent. Strange, probably not functioning, but at the least non-violent.

Apparently in her time in the hospital she never attacked staff, which is a good indicator she can at least control herself. (I’ve worked in adolescent psych and the majority of kids will jump you. So that’s a point in her favor.) Although, granted you’d never fully know unless you put her with someone she could actually hurt (someone of the same stature or a child, for instance.)

If she truly matured, she’d understand the debt she owes society and wouldn’t have taken off her ankle bracelet. Even if she’s reformed, she owes society nothing short of perfect compliance. Clearly, she lacks self awareness and the ability to reflect still at the age of 23.
