Background on Morgan Geyser
Morgan Geyser, along with her co-defendant Anissa Weier, was charged with the attempted homicide of their friend Payton Leutner in May 2014. The incident, which involved Leutner being stabbed 19 times, was linked to the girls' belief in the fictional character Slender Man. Both were found not guilty by reason of mental defect in 2017, leading to Geyser receiving a 40-year sentence of mental confinement. Weier was granted conditional release in 2021, and Geyser was conditionally released earlier in 2025 after a series of placements in group homes fell through.
