Morgan Geyser, Convicted in ‘Slender Man’ Stabbing, Escapes Group Home and Is Recaptured

Morgan Geyser, one of the two teenagers convicted in the infamous 2014 Slender Man stabbing case, escaped from a Wisconsin group home and was recaptured in Illinois after a multi-state manhunt. The incident has raised significant concerns about the adequacy of mental health treatment and the risks associated with releasing offenders with severe psychiatric conditions. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist, warned that Geyser’s release demonstrated the importance of careful monitoring, as her release was accompanied by significant warning signs that she had not fully recovered from her schizophrenia.
