Judge OKs Release Plan for Teen Who Stabbed Classmate in Slender Man Case
In a significant development, Morgan Geyser, who attempted to murder a classmate in 2014 to appease the fictional Slender Man, will be released from a Wisconsin mental hospital. After a judge approved a conditional release plan, Geyser, now 22, is set to leave Winnebago Mental Health Institute, where she has been for seven years. The details of the release plan and its timeline were not shared, but the decision follows earlier rulings that Geyser had made progress in battling her mental illness. The incident involved Geyser and a friend, Anissa Weier, luring their classmate to a park and attacking her, driven by their obsession with the Slender Man character.
