Nov. 23 (UPI) — Police are searching for Morgan Geyser, one of two people convicted in the 2014 Wisconsin Slender Man stabbing, after Geyser cut off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet and walked out of a group home Saturday night, the Madison Police Department said.
Geyser was last seen at around 8 p.m. CST Saturday with an “adult acquaintance” in the area of Kroncke Dr., the same street where hte group home is located, police said.
Officers said her whereabouts are unknown. MPD was notified of her disappearance on Sunday morning, local media reported.
Police released recorded security footage with images of Geyser that was captured earlier this month, and requested the public’s assistance in finding her, requesting that they call 911 with any information.
MPD confirmed to MMTV in Madison that Geyser has been living at a local group home, which the Department of Health Services confirmed.
Geyser had previously lived at and previously lived at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh for several years before being transferred to the Madison facility.
Earlier this year, the state approved Geyser’s transfer to a group home in Sun Prairie, but the facility declined her admission in August.
Documents from the facility said that staff “could not provide the level of supervision that she required,” and “were not equipped to manage her needs.”
In 2014, Geyser, who was 12 at the time, and her accomplice, Anissa Weier stabbed their classmate, Payton Leutner, nearly 19 times in a near fatal attack as part of a plot based on the fictional character known as Slender Man.
