Slender Man attacker Morgan Geyser can be published, judge rules

Waukesha, Wis. –

A wisconsin woman who almost killed her classmates years ago to like horror character Slender Man can be released from a psychiatric hospital as planned, a judge decided on Thursday and decided to keep the state health officers at the last minute.

Morgan Geyser has spent the past seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. The Waukesha County Circuit judge Michael Bohren ordered its approval in January after state and county health officers had completed a joint inspection and apartment plan.

The officials of the Health Services Officials approached a 60-day period to present the plan to the judge when they asked him abruptly last week to keep them committed.

Agency officers argued that Geyser voluntarily reports in her therapy team that she had read “Rent Boy”, a novel about murder and sale of organs on the black market. They also claimed that they had communicated with a man who collected the murder reminder and sent him her own sketch of a beheaded body and a postcard that says that she wants to be intimate with him.

During a hearing on Thursday, the deputy district attorney of Waukesha County, Abbey Nickolie, said that her treatment team only told the book and the collector when she was asked.

“The state has real concerns that these things are honestly red flags at this point,” said Nickolie.

The lawyer of Geyser, Tony Cotton, argued that Geyser did nothing wrong and the request of the state to keep her in the hospital as a “hit job”.

He told the judge that Geyser only reads what the Winnebago employees allow and added that they had a wide range of reading interests, including biographies.

As for the collector, Winnebago's employees knew that he had visited her three times in June 2023 and that Geyser cut off with him last year after noticing things that she had sent him, said Cotton.

“Morgan is not more dangerous today,” said Cotton.

Drill heard statements from the same three psychologists who had recommended their release in January. Everyone said they didn't see how it is now a risk.

The judge found that the state's application was not missing any substance. He said that he didn't think he tried to hide something in front of her treatment team, and simply replied to questions that she was asked.

“I don't see the risk to the public,” said Bohren. He found a new hearing on a publication plan for March 21.

Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier attracted Payton Leutner to a Waukesha park after an overnight stay in 2014. Geyser Stach Leutner 19 times, while Weier connected her. All three girls were 12 years old.

Leutner hardly survived her wounds. Geyser and Weier told the investigators that they had attacked them in order to earn the right to be the servants of the slim man and to ensure that slim husband did not hurt them or their families.

Geyser owed himself to be a party to be a intentional murder of the first degree in 2017, but claimed that she was not responsible because it was mentally ill. Drilling signed them to the psychiatric hospital for 40 years in 2018.

Weier owed to be a party to be a deliberate murder with a dangerous weapon of second degree in 2017, but as Geyer claimed that she was not classified as responsible because of her mental illness. She was involved in a psychiatric hospital for 25 years, but was released in 2021 when she agreed to live with her father and wear a GPS monitor.
