According to Madison police, the approximate timeline is as follows:

• Saturday, Nov. 22 around 9:30 p.m.: The Department of Corrections received an alert that Geyser's GPS monitoring bracelet was malfunctioning.
• Nov. 22 around 11:30 p.m.: DOC made contact with the adult group home where Geyser was living.
• Nov. 22 around 11:35 p.m.: Group home staff informed DOC that Geyser was not at the home and that she had removed her GPS bracelet.
• Around midnight: DOC issued an apprehension request for Geyser. This request was never relayed to the Madison Police Department.
• Sunday, Nov. 23, at 7:46 a.m.: Someone from the group home called 911 to report Geyser as a missing person.
• Nov. 23 at 7:58 a.m.: Madison police were assigned to the call and headed to Kroncke Drive. This was the first time the Madison Police Department was made aware Geyser was missing.

This girl - now woman - is profoundly unwell. She needs to be found ASAP, not just for the safety of others, but for her own safety.

JMO, too many years of reliving, reimagining, regurgitating and faux renouncing what she "did for Slender Man" have kept Morgan Geyser isolated in a fantasy world where little is real, including regret, consequence, responsibility, and, I think, her own identity. She's not moored in reality. That's a dangerous state of being, for herself and those who may encounter her.

I hope she is recovered quickly and without incident.

It took 10 1/2 hours after she cut off her bracelet to get anyone to actually take action go start looking for her?! What a mess.

And, please, no one come after me for this being my first post and being a troll lol. I’ve been on here for years and I lurk a lot but I was just so blown away by this news today that I had to comment!! I work in forensics/mental health and remember this case well from years ago. Just found it so bizarre. And such a horribly disappointing outcome at the mo… @RobertCatesby I hope you’re right about her not having the mental acuity to get away with this!

Welcome!
I appreciate your insight and the information about her release from the psychiatric hospital.
Just because society wants people with severe mental illness to be able to live unfettered lives, doesn’t mean that’s possible for everyone. It doesn’t sound like the judge in this case made a wise decision.

 

[RobertCatesby]

Does anyone know where her group home was located?

Somewhere in Madison, WI, I believe they said on Kroncke drive.

There is going to be some a** chewing going on at the department of corrections for not notifying the local police.

I can understand the judge wanting to believe in the potential for rehabilitation. Especially in someone who was so young when she committed the crime.

But, I always like to go back to Edmund Kemper, who killed his Grandparents at age, 15 (?), he was such a model prisoner, they let him out of the asylum at age 20, when he started his killing spree, as a serial killer/rapist.

Personally, I didn't think she should have been let out. And she definitely wasn't in a very secure group home.

'Slender Man' stabbing attacker found in Illinois after escape from Madison group home

Police say Morgan Geyser cut off her ankle monitor Saturday night and was caught almost 24 hours later in Posen, Illinois.

www.wisn.com

Madison, WI police said that they were informed that Geyser was taken into custody around 10:34 pm Sunday in Posen, IL at a Thornton's truck stop. She was with another person--they had taken a bus to Posen.

Posen is about 25 m south of Chicago,

Glad that they didn't have access to a car

Who's the other person? It states above, both were taken into custody. I'm curious if the other person worked at the home she ran from? IMO

If that was the case, I think we would have heard about it because of the power/duty of care dynamic. I think it's more likely this was someone Morgan was communicating with beforehand, either by phone or online.

MOO

Glad she was caught. Very interested to find out who was assisting her and why.

What would the punishment for this be? Would it even be considered a crime or more of a probation violation?

One would be a felony for cutting off her ankle monitor i think and I bet she gets an extended stay somewhere.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her either.

I'm guessing a probation violation, unless Morgan committed another crime in the process. They took a bus, so it's not like they stole a car, for example.

Still, I think Morgan's going back in a box for a while. Morgan is going to be lucky not to have to serve the whole stretch, because this has made the parole board look like numpties. Gullible. And that's not going to make people inclined to give Morgan 'good faith' rulings in future. It will be a permanent black mark against leniency in hearings in years to come.

MOO

I’m willing to bet that it was the creepy guy she was “communicating” with before. MOO.

Friend of Wisconsin "Slender Man" stabber Morgan Geyser arrested for obstruction after pair captured in Illinois

The friend of a Wisconsin woman who stabbed a classmate to please the fictional horror character Slender Man has been charged with obstruction after the pair were captured in Illinois, following Morgan Geyser's escape from a group home in Wisconsin.

The friend of a Wisconsin woman who stabbed a classmate to please the fictional horror character Slender Man has been charged with obstruction after the pair were captured in Illinois, following Morgan Geyser's escape from a group home in Wisconsin.

Geyser was expected to appear for an extradition hearing in Cook County on Monday after her arrest in Posen, Illinois. Geyser's friend, a 42-year-old who declined to give their name, was released from custody after she was charged with obstructing identity for initially giving police a false identity.

She said she and Geyser were arrested Sunday night at a truck stop in Posen, after someone called the police on them for loitering. She said she and Geyser are best friends, and she didn't want Geyser to be alone after she left a group home in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday, so they hopped on a bus to Chicago together, and then walked to Posen, about 20 miles south of Chicago, and 170 miles south of Madison. The two of them stopped walking after Geyser injured her foot.

Sounds more like Morgan and the other person were BFFs and the other person was leaving the group home, and Morgan absconded so they wouldn't be separated.

Sounds very adolescent, and not very thought out. But if they're both working with and around psychiatric conditions, they may not have a concept of reality and consequences for this course of action.

MOO

So they just let this friend go, like, no big deal for assisting a mentally ill convicted murderer escape?
If she didn’t actually help her escape she could have helped her friend by calling LE immediately when she knew where Geyser was. Not help her get further away.
What ridiculous judge/magistrate/whoever bought that cr#p.
