MADISON, WI (AP)— Authorities say a Wisconsin woman who admitted to nearly stabbing a classmate to death in 2014 to please the horror character Slender Man has been found in Illinois.
That’s after she cut off an electronic monitoring device and left a group home.
Madison police issued an alert Sunday for Morgan Geyser, saying she was last seen around 8 p.m. the night before with an adult acquaintance. Police in Posen, Illinois, south of Chicago, confirmed that the 23-year-old woman was found sleeping on the sidewalk at a truck stop and taken into custody Sunday night.
Geyser was placed in a group home after being granted conditional release from psychiatric hospital. She was sent there in 2018 after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
