Morgan Geyser, Key Figure in Infamous Slender Man Case, Reported Missing
Authorities in Wisconsin are searching for Morgan Geyser, a woman whose name became nationally known following her involvement in the shocking 2014 Slender Man stabbing. Geyser, now a young adult, was reported missing, raising immediate concerns and reigniting public interest in the decade-old case that captivated and horrified the nation.
Details from the Original Stabbing Case
The case dates back to 2014 when Geyser and another girl, then both just 12 years old, were charged with the attempted murder of a classmate. The attack was reportedly motivated by a desire to appease the fictional internet horror character, Slender Man. The victim, also 12 at the time, was stabbed 19 times but miraculously survived her injuries after crawling to a road where a passing cyclist found her.
Geyser was subsequently found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. She had been receiving treatment at a state mental health facility. As recently as January 9, 2025, Geyser appeared in a Waukesha County courtroom, as documented by an Associated Press photograph, indicating her case was still under judicial oversight.
Current Situation and Ongoing Search
The circumstances surrounding Geyser's disappearance are currently under investigation. Law enforcement has not released specific details on when or where she was last seen, but a search is actively underway. Her status as a high-profile individual from a violent crime adds a complex layer to the search efforts and public safety considerations.
This development marks a new, troubling chapter in a story that has been a focal point for discussions on juvenile justice, mental health, and the influence of online content on young people. The community and the nation await further updates as authorities work to locate her.
