A Waukesha County Circuit Court judge has approved a conditional release plan for Morgan Geyser, one of the girls involved in the infamous 2014 Slender Man attempted homicide case. Geyser, who was originally accused of masterminding the stabbing of her friend, Payton Leutner, in a Waukesha park, will now begin the process of transitioning out of the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The case, which became internationally known after Leutner was stabbed 19 times by Geyser and co-defendant Anissa Weier, sparked widespread questions about the mental health of both girls. The attack was allegedly motivated by their belief in the fictional Slender Man character, whom they feared would harm them. Both girls, just 12 years old at the time, claimed they were trying to appease Slender Man. Initially deemed incompetent to stand trial, Geyser was later found to be suffering from schizophrenia, a condition doctors linked to genetic factors. Mental health experts also considered the possibility of trauma-induced factors, such as sexual abuse, influencing her behavior. While Geyser's mental state has been consistently evaluated over the years, her condition was most recently categorized as a psychotic spectrum disorder. In 2021, Anissa Weier was granted conditional release, and in 2023, she was freed from electronic monitoring. Geyser's case, however, took a different path. Mental health professionals had previously recommended against her release, citing the lack of socialization opportunities at the Oshkosh facility, which hindered her ability to mature. However, in recent months, these experts have reversed their position, agreeing that Geyser could benefit from a less restrictive environment. The court's ruling for conditional release does not mean Geyser is free from mental health care. Before her release, Geyser must submit a detailed release plan, which will include living arrangements, supervised employment, and ongoing therapy. A hearing to review the adequacy of the plan is scheduled for March 3, 2025. Judge Michael O. Bohren, who presided over Geyser's trial, will determine if the plan meets the necessary standards for her reintegration into society. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Morgan Geyser, one of the teenagers who stabbed their classmate in the 2014 "Slender Man" case, has been released from a mental health institution after nearly seven years. She and her accomplice, Anissa Weier, stabbed Payton Leutner 19 times, believing it would appease the fictional Slender Man. Despite Geyser's diagnosis of early-onset schizophrenia, her release has sparked controversy due to the violent nature of the crime and the lasting impact on the victim. While experts claim Geyser no longer poses a threat, concerns remain about public safety and whether the justice system has adequately served the victim.

En un juicio mediático, un tribunal de Corea del Sur condenó a cadena perpetua a Jung Yoo Jung, una joven de 23 años que confesó haber asesinado a una profesora de inglés “por curiosidad”. Jung, obsesionada con programas y novelas de crímenes, planeó y ejecutó el plan en mayo de 2023, disfrazándose de estudiante para entrar en la casa de la víctima en Busan. Tras el asesinato, fue arrestada después de que un taxista informara a la policía sobre un comportamiento sospechoso. El 31 de mayo de 2014, en Waukesha, Wisconsin, dos niñas de 12 años, Anissa Weier y Morgan Geyser, atrajeron a su amiga Payton Leutner a un bosque y la atacaron en un intento de convertirse en apoderadas del personaje de ficción Slender Man. Payton sobrevivió al ataque y las niñas fueron arrestadas y juzgadas, lo que generó un gran debate sobre la influencia de los medios en los jóvenes. Ricardo López, nacido en Montevideo el 14 de enero de 1975, fue un acosador y terrorista uruguayo nacionalizado estadounidense. Es conocido por su intento fallido de ases*nato a la cantante islandesa Björk en 1996. López envió una carta bomba a Björk, pero fue interceptada antes de llegar a su destino. Posteriormente, López se eliminó, dejando tras de sí una serie de diarios y videos que documentaban su obsesión. Distribuido por Genuina Media

Two girls stab their best friend 19 times. Why? They wanted to appease the fictional horror character, Slender Man. Both girls serve time in a mental health facility.  Anissa Weier  was granted conditional release in September 2021.   She was required to receive outpatient psychiatric treatment and subject to GPS monitoring – though the monitoring was waived in September of last year.  Now a Wisconsin judge will now hear evidence in April to decide whether to release Morgan Geyser from the mental health facility where she's being held. The 21-year-old Geyser requested conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute from Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren back in January. This is similar to a petition that Geyser filed in 2022 for conditional release, but withdrew two months later. In the latest petition filed Jan. 16, Geyser is asking Judge Michael O. Bohren to consider whether she is no longer a threat to herself or others — a decision that will be based on a new round of medical exams.  The judge appointed three psychiatric experts — one on behalf of Geyser, one on behalf of prosecutors and the third as a court appointee — to examine her and produce reports on her current mental condition. Judge Bohren then set a hearing for April 10-11 to consider the reports and possibly rule on the release request.

Morgan Geyser | Slender Man Stabbing | *Chilling* Full Police Interrogation The Slender Man (also spelled Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forum user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009. He is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face, wearing a black suit. Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking, abducting or traumatizing people, particularly children. The Slender Man is not confined to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction, typically composed online. On May 31, 2014, two 12-year-old girls in Waukesha, Wisconsin held down and stabbed a 12-year-old classmate 19 times. When questioned later by authorities, they reportedly claimed that they wished to commit a murder as a first step to becoming proxies for the Slender Man, having read about it online. They also stated that they were afraid that Slender Man would kill their families if they did not commit the murder. After the perpetrators left the scene, the victim crawled out of the woods to a roadway. A passing cyclist alerted authorities, and the victim survived the attack. Both attackers have been diagnosed with mental illnesses but have also been charged as adults and are each facing up to 65 years in prison. One of the girls reportedly said Slender Man watches her, can read minds, and could teleport. Experts testified in court that she also said she conversed with Lord Voldemort and one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Milwaukee teen Anissa Weier was sentenced to 25 years in a mental health facility in 2017, for the 2014 stabbing of a classmate. Weier's accomplice in the crime was a friend called Morgan Geyser, who was also a 12-year-old like Weier when they planned and stabbed classmate Payton Leutner in the nearby woods, later telling authorities that the attempted murder was supposed to keep the legend-horror character Slender Man from killing their families. Where is Morgan Geyser now? At 19, Geyser is still at the unnamed mental hospital where she was sentenced 40 years after she pled guilty to the attempted first-degree murder of Leutner. Geyser had reportedly pled guilty to the crime to avoid prison, but she was ultimately found not guilty on grounds of insanity. Geyser was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, and following her 2017 conviction, her attorneys have argued that she should have been tried in juvenile court as she was 12 at the time of the stabbing. On September 11, 2020, her defense team appealed to the Supreme Court, to toss out Geryser's conviction in adult court. This came after Wisconsin's 2nd District Court of Appeals had denied Geyser's appeal to have her conviction overruled, twice by then. Geyser's attorney Matthew Pinix had claimed at the time that his client should have been charged with attempted second-degree intentional homicide, which would have sent the case to juvenile court. Who is Morgan Geyser? On May 31, 2014, three pre-teens — Geyser, Weier, and Leutner, woke up from a sleepover to celebrate Geyser's 12th birthday. The girls then went to a local Waukesha park, where Geyser and Weier stabbed Leutner 19 times and left her for dead. The 12-year-old victim however managed to crawl her way out of the woods and was spotted by the side of the road by a passing bicyclist. Leutner survived, but it's been reported that two of the stab words were millimeters from her arteries. Shortly after she was found, cops found Geyser and Weier walking along the roads, claiming they were on their way to live with Slender Man. Geyser and Weier were arrested immediately and charged as adults the next day. The girls had confessed to the crime too, claiming they were terrified of Slender Man killing their families if they didn't murder Leutner. The story has become sensational in the years, because of the brutal nature of the crime from such young children. Having become the topic of countless documentary flicks and TV shorts, the Slender Man Stabbing continues to be one of the most notorious incidents. During the sentencing hearing, three years after the heinous attack on Leutner, professional opinions on Geyser's mental health and treatment needed were still conflicting. While her defense team tried to move her to an adolescent health facility, Judge Michael Bohren denied it, saying: "What we can't forget is this was an attempted murder."

In May of 2014, two young girls lured a third girl into the woods in a park in Waukesha and proceeded to set in motion one of the world's most talked about true crime stories of the last 2 decades.  Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier's attempted murder of their friend Peyton Leutner sent shockwaves through Wisconsin, and shed light on the dark side of internet culture, "Creepypastas," and one icon in particular named, Slenderman. Although sensationalistic media focused on Slenderman's influence in the crime, the more important aspects of the story were mainly missed, such as teen and adolescent mental illness, parental control, and the grand scheme issues of criminal justice and mental health care of juveniles.  Scott and Mickey discuss the case, how it happened, and hit those deeper issues which continue to be talked about and debated today, almost 10 years after the crime. The opening banter covers a few current WI true crime cases, and 10 of the creepiest roads in the U.S, in which the Badger State is, of course, represented!   Facebook Twitter Website Email us:  badgerbizarre@outlook.com   Opening Trailer: Ed Gein Sound Byte : "Hard Copy" - Paramount Domestic/CBS Televsion Frank Lloyd Wright and Jeffery Dahmer Sound Byte - WISN 12 News - Milwaukee, WI Jeffery Dahmer Quotes: "Inside Edition"  - King World/CBS Television/CBS Media   Attribution for Music: Trailer: Composer: Adam Phillip Zwirchmayr https://www.pond5.com/ Intro: https://pixabay.com/ Outro: Composer: Viacheslav Sarancha  https://www.pond5.com/   Attribution for logo design: Red Claw Scratch Photo   Sources:   ABC News: 20/20 "Slenderman Episode" "Beware the Slenderman" - Documentary Creepypasta Wiki/Slenderman Dunlap, Bridget: "Slenderman Trial: Why Trying These GIrls as Adults is Absurd" - Rolling Stone Hale, Kathleen "Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls" Juvenile Law Center: State vs Geyser MIller, Lisa - "Slenderman is Watching" New York Magazine Milwaukee Journal Sentinal Archives New York Post Archives "Slenderman" The Untold Story" - Documentary State vs Anissa E.

Anissa Weier - Slender Man Stabbing - Disturbing Full Police InterrogationThe Slender Man (also spelled Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forum user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009. He is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face, wearing a black suit.Stories of the Slender Man commonly feature him stalking, abducting or traumatizing people, particularly children. The Slender Man is not confined to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction, typically composed online.On May 31, 2014, two 12-year-old girls in Waukesha, Wisconsin held down and stabbed a 12-year-old classmate 19 times. When questioned later by authorities, they reportedly claimed that they wished to commit a murder as a first step to becoming proxies for the Slender Man, having read about it online. They also stated that they were afraid that Slender Man would kill their families if they did not commit the murder. After the perpetrators left the scene, the victim crawled out of the woods to a roadway. A passing cyclist alerted authorities, and the victim survived the attack. Both attackers have been diagnosed with mental illnesses but have also been charged as adults and are each facing up to 65 years in prison. One of the girls reportedly said Slender Man watches her, can read minds, and could teleport.Experts testified in court that she also said she conversed with Lord Voldemort and one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.Milwaukee teen Anissa Weier was sentenced to 25 years in a mental health facility in 2017, for the 2014 stabbing of a classmate. Weier's accomplice in the crime was a friend called Morgan Geyser, who was also a 12-year-old like Weier when they planned and stabbed classmate Payton Leutner in the nearby woods, later telling authorities that the attempted murder was supposed to keep the legend-horror character Slender Man from killing their families.Where is Morgan Geyser now?At 19, Geyser is still at the unnamed mental hospital where she was sentenced 40 years after she pled guilty to the attempted first-degree murder of Leutner. Geyser had reportedly pled guilty to the crime to avoid prison, but she was ultimately found not guilty on grounds of insanity. Geyser was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, and following her 2017 conviction, her attorneys have argued that she should have been tried in juvenile court as she was 12 at the time of the stabbing.On September 11, 2020, her defense team appealed to the Supreme Court, to toss out Geryser's conviction in adult court. This came after Wisconsin's 2nd District Court of Appeals had denied Geyser's appeal to have her conviction overruled, twice by then. Geyser's attorney Matthew Pinix had claimed at the time that his client should have been charged with attempted second-degree intentional homicide, which would have sent the case to juvenile court.Who is Morgan Geyser?On May 31, 2014, three pre-teens — Geyser, Weier, and Leutner, woke up from a sleepover to celebrate Geyser's 12th birthday. The girls then went to a local Waukesha park, where Geyser and Weier stabbed Leutner 19 times and left her for dead. The 12-year-old victim however managed to crawl her way out of the woods and was spotted by the side of the road by a passing bicyclist. Leutner survived, but it's been reported that two of the stab words were millimeters from her arteries. Shortly after she was found, cops found Geyser and Weier walking along the roads, claiming they were on their way to live with Slender Man.Geyser and Weier were arrested immediately and charged as adults the next day. The girls had confessed to the crime too, claiming they were terrified of Slender Man killing their families if they didn't murder Leutner. The story has become sensational in the years, because of the brutal nature of the crime from such young children. Having become the topic of countless documentary flicks and TV shorts, the Slender Man Stabbing continues to be one of the most notorious incidents. During the sentencing hearing, three years after the heinous attack on Leutner, professional opinions on Geyser's mental health and treatment needed were still conflicting. While her defense team tried to move her to an adolescent health facility, Judge Michael Bohren denied it, saying: "What we can't forget is this was an attempted murder."

Geyser was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, and following her 2017 conviction, her attorneys have argued that she should have been tried in juvenile court as she was 12 at the time of the stabbing.On September 11, 2020, her defense team appealed to the Supreme Court, to toss out Geryser's conviction in adult court. This came after Wisconsin's 2nd District Court of Appeals had denied Geyser's appeal to have her conviction overruled, twice by then. Geyser's attorney Matthew Pinix had claimed at the time that his client should have been charged with attempted second-degree intentional homicide, which would have sent the case to juvenile court.Who is Morgan Geyser?On May 31, 2014, three pre-teens — Geyser, Weier, and Leutner, woke up from a sleepover to celebrate Geyser's 12th birthday. The girls then went to a local Waukesha park, where Geyser and Weier stabbed Leutner 19 times and left her for dead. The 12-year-old victim however managed to crawl her way out of the woods and was spotted by the side of the road by a passing bicyclist. Leutner survived, but it's been reported that two of the stab words were millimeters from her arteries. Shortly after she was found, cops found Geyser and Weier walking along the roads, claiming they were on their way to live with Slender Man.Geyser and Weier were arrested immediately and charged as adults the next day. The girls had confessed to the crime too, claiming they were terrified of Slender Man killing their families if they didn't murder Leutner. The story has become sensational in the years, because of the brutal nature of the crime from such young children. Having become the topic of countless documentary flicks and TV shorts, the Slender Man Stabbing continues to be one of the most notorious incidents.

When 9-year-old Morgan Geyser saw Peyton "Bella" Leutner drawing pictures of kitties in her notebook at Horning Middle School in Wakesha, Wisconsin, she knew they would be fast friends. The girls were inseparable and stayed best friends, even through Morgan's struggles with her undiagnosed childhood-onset schizophrenia. That is, until another girl, Anissa Weier, came along. Anissa lived in the same apartment complex as Morgan, and the two quickly became best friends. Bella hated Anissa.One day, Anissa introduced Morgan to Creepypasta.com, a website for creative writing where users would post their own stories, most with horror or supernatural themes. The urban legend Anissa liked the most was that of The Slenderman, a soul-sucking, children-preying thin monster with unnaturally long arms and legs and tentacles. Morgan and Anissa soon became obsessed. So obsessed, in fact, that they dreamed of running away to live with the fictional creature and, to do so, they would have to make a sacrifice so horrific and unbelievable, that all three girls' lives would be shattered forever.Show Notes: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/slenderman-kathleen-hale/1140589585Don't miss The Evergreen Murders: A Mackenzie Monroe Christmas Mystery:https://open.spotify.com/show/6zANYDlP9SSNQgcdwzLzIjAnd Season 2: Murder at Mistletoe Manor:https://open.spotify.com/show/66PUe7fnWClbCOmh9MpT4Y

We're getting a little bit creepy this week, as Charlie tells us the disturbing tale of what happens when you mix delusion, horror stories and violent ideas. The families of three sixth grade little girls had no idea what was going to happen at the end of May 2014, but the events of that morning would spark debates around the world regarding online safety and missed red flags.

On May 31st, 2014, Morgan Geyser stabbed her onetime best friend Bella Leutner nineteen times, while her new best friend, Anissa Weier, looked on. All three girls were twelve years old.  Geyser was living with schizophrenia, and Weier had introduced her to the crowd-sourced internet phantasm known as Slenderman, who first appeared on Something Awful, the message board at the root of chan culture. Together, Geyser and Weier came to believe that Slenderman was demanding a sacrifice in exchange for his protection. Their crime,  at once naïve and brutal,  sparked a moral panic. Author Kathleen Hale joins Matthew to discuss her reporting on this story in her riveting and compassionate new book, Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls.Slenderman is brimming with tenderness for these girls, who are all creative, confused, scared, and ultimately bound to each other through social contagion and mental illness. Hale's writing is accessible but elliptical as it uncovers jagged details, but never easy answers, about a world that predicts our own.  On this podcast we spend a lot of time on the virtual demons that animate conspirituality and QAnon, driving some devotees to violence. Hale's work is good medicine for those who know that internet chaos and mental precarity will remain locked in feedback loops for the foreseeable future. Her meticulous investigation—enriched by hours spent interviewing Morgan Geyser—shows that the road to understanding is always paved with empathy.  Slenderman — Kathleen Hale 'Am I being catfished?'

The next morning, Anissa and Morgan tricked Payton into going with them to David's park to bird watch and play hide-and-seek where the two girls attacked their friend, Payton, stabbing her 19 times. They believed if they didn't kill her, Slenderman would kill their families, and if they did kill her, they could live with Slenderman in his mansion where they would move up in rank.

On part two of our two-part Slender Man series, we dive into the very real consequences of this modern legend of a monster with the infamous "Slender Man Stabbing" case. In May 2014, 12-year old Payton Leutner was discovered, injured and bleeding, on the outside of the woods in her native Waukesha, Wisconsin. Payton had an unbelievable story to tell law enforcement: she had been attacked and stabbed by her two preteen friends, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, who had apparently believed that Payton's death was necessary to appease the mythical "Slender Man" so they would be accepted as his proxies and go live with him at "Slender Mansion" in the Nicolet National Park forest. Geyser and Weier would be tried as adults for their horrific crime...but how sane and competent were these tweens, really? We explore both sides of the story, and debate whether the concept of Slender Man really influenced these girls to commit this heinous act - or if they were mentally unable to understand the consequences. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain't it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscary Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscary BarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!

On May 31st, 2014, 12 year old Payton Leutner believed she was going to the park to play with her friends Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier.

GET‌ ‌EVERY‌ ‌EPISODE‌ ‌AND‌ ‌BONUS‌ ‌CONTENT‌ ‌AT:‌ ‌‌www.patreon.com/crackpotpodcast‌ This week Zach shares stories of the weird and scary internet creepy pasta phenomenon that is Slenderman. Although created out of whole cloth in 2009 on an online message board, no fake character has ever achieved the same level of notoriety. And despite the fact that Slenderman's origin can be traced back to a single person, the lore developed cult-like following and even led to several attempted murders. Tune in this week to hear about the scary and bizarre world of Slenderman.

"We didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time..."   On May 31st, 2014, two 12-year-old girls would commit an act of violence so vicious and shocking it would capture the attention of the entire world. Yet, the only thing more unbelievable than the crime itself was their motive. It was a crime done out of both fear and desire. They had hoped the sacrifice they offered would appease their benevolent tormentor.
