A Wisconsin woman convicted in the 2014 stabbing of a sixth-grade classmate, purportedly to appease the fictional horror character “Slenderman,” was apprehended on Sunday after fleeing from a group home without authorization, police said.
The Madison Police Department issued an alert for Morgan Geyser — who was 12 years old at the time of the stabbing — on Sunday, saying she was last seen around 8 p.m. Saturday with an adult man.
The 23-year-old was taken into custody about 200 miles away in Posen, Illinois.
Geyser pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempted first-degree homicide in an attack on classmate Payton Leutner, who was stabbed 19 times. Geyser claimed she was not responsible due to mental illness. She was sentenced to serve a 40-year term in a state mental institution.
