Slender Man Killer Granted Conditional Release Following Classmate’s Stabbing

Update

Morgan Geyser, who was found guilty of stabbing a classmate in a bid to please the fictional character Slender Man, has been granted conditional release from a state psychiatric hospital, as per FOX 6 Milwaukee.

Initial Coverage

A Wisconsin woman, who stabbed her classmate over a decade ago, a judge’s permission to be released from a psychiatric hospital.

On Thursday, Morgan Geyser, now 22 years old, appeared in court seeking release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. This marked her third attempt to attain freedom, with her first petition being withdrawn last year just two months after submission.

According to Court TV, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren turned down her second request in April, citing concerns that she still poses a threat to society following the incident involving the stabbing of 12-year-old Payton Leutner.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, following a sleepover celebrating her Geyser’s 12th birthday in May 2014, Anissa Weier and Geyser lured Payton Leutner to the woods, stabbed her 19 times, and left her for dead. The pair later told police they carried out the attack to satisfy Slender Man, a fictional horror character popularized in an eponymous indie video game.

Weier and Geyser claimed they believed their families would be harmed if they did not attack their classmate, the news outlet reported.

Payton survived the attack after she made her way to a nearby road and flagged down a cyclist.

Weir was released in 2021, and ordered to live with her father.

Meanwhile,  Payton’s mother, Stacie Leutner, issued a statement, pushing to keep Geysee from being released.

“Morgan Geyser has withdrawn her request to be released twice. More recently, her request was denied. We are confident that the judicial system will make a decision that will ensure the community and my daughter remain safe,” Leutner said in a statement to ABC News.

One of the two Wisconsin girls accused of stabbing a classmate, Payton Leuter, in 2014 to gain the favor of a horror character named Slender Man will soon learn how long she will spend in a mental health facility. A judge in Waukesha County Circuit Court on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017, is expected to send 16-year-old Weier to a facility for at least three years after she was previously found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
