Wisconsin police said they are searching for a woman who vanished on Saturday after cutting off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet and leaving a group home.
Madison police said Morgan Geyser, 23, is missing after being last seen with an adult acquaintance. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Geyser was put in a group home this fall, where she would undergo treatment for a psychotic spectrum disorder, but the court sealed details about the facility’s location.
Geyser was 12 in 2014 when she and Anissa Weier nearly stabbed another classmate to death. After a sleepover celebrating Geyser’s 12th birthday, she and Weier lured the classmate to the woods — where they stabbed her 19 times and left her for dead.
The girls claimed they carried out the attack to appease “Slenderman,” an internet meme. They also said they believed their families would be harmed if they did not attack their classmate, who survived.
Geyser and Weier were found not guilty due to mental disease or defect. Weier was released from a mental institution in 2021. Geyser remained institutionalized despite seeking her release on four occasions.
However, in March, a judge granted Geyer’s petition for conditional release. In July, a Sun Prairie group home rescinded its offer to take in Geyser as a resident. Geyser’s attorney said it was due to negative publicity.
“No, I haven’t heard anything about it,” Geyser’s lawyer told WITI, following news of his client’s reported disappearance.
Anyone with information regarding Geyser’s whereabouts should call 911.
