Slender Man Stabber Seeks Release From Mental Institution

Thursday, June 8th, 2023 -- 4:00 PM

(Ted Ehlen, WRN) One of the two women involved in the Slender Man stabbing case is looking to be released from a state mental facility.

Morgan Geyser was in a Waukesha County courtroom for a petition hearing prompted by her request last month for a conditional release from her 40-year commitment at the facility.  After the hearing, a judge appointed three doctors to examine her. The doctors' reports are due back within 60 days.

A judge could decide in August whether Geyser, who has been in custody for over nine years, is ready to be released.  The other participant in the 2014 stabbing, Anissa Weier, was released from a mental facility in September of 2021.
