Wisconsin Woman Subject to Slender Man Attack Releases Request

WaukeSHA, Wis.–One among two Wisconsin women sent to state mental hospitals after an attack they said was meant to disarm the terror character Slender Man. She has now withdrawn her request for release.

In June Morgan Geyser, 20, requested that Waukesha County Judge Michael Bohren release her, as he did for Anissa Weier last year. Anissa spent almost four years in a Oshkosh mental hospital.

Bohren commissioned three psychiatrists to assess Geyser’s mental health. Geyser, her lawyer and the doctor who had provided their report sent Tuesday’s letter to Bohren.

The letter stated: “We are asking that the remaining examinations be not completed and we will continue reviewing this issue as Ms. Geyser makes progress in treatment, and advances with her recovery.” According to WTMJ-TV.

Her lawyer, Anthony Cotton has not returned our call.

According to the prosecutors, Geyser & Weier lured Payton Leutner into woods in Waukesha after a May 2014, sleepover. Weier encouraged her to go on while Geyser repeatedly stabbed Leutner. At the time, all three of the girls were 12.

Geyser, Weier and Leutner left Leutner dead. However, she was able to climb out of the forest and was found by a bicyclist.

She sustained 19 stabbing wounds that she barely survived according to the medical personnel who cared for her.

Police discovered Weier and Geyser walking along Interstate 94, Waukesha. The pair claimed they were going to Slender Man in Wisconsin, and they attacked Leutner as they believed it would allow them to become Slender Man’s servants.

Geyser plead guilty to first-degree intentional murder in an agreement with prosecutors. After determining that she was suffering from a mental disorder, a judge ordered her to Winnebago Mental Health Institute.

Weier plead guilty to second-degree intentional murder and was sent to a psychiatric facility, after the jury determined she had a mental disorder at the time.

In September Weier received a conditional release from her father. She was also ordered to use a GPS tracker.
