Morgan Geyser escapes group home, later recaptured

The case of Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, convicted for the 2014 stabbing of classmate Payton Leutner to please the fictional character Slender Man, has escalated after Geyser escaped from a group home. Both were 12 at the time of the attack, where Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times. Geyser was diagnosed with schizophrenia and placed in a psychiatric facility, but a judge recently deemed her mentally fit for release. Critics argue that Geyser should not have been released due to her troubling behaviors and past admissions.
