Police are urgently searching for a woman convicted in the Slender Man stabbing case after she removed her police tag and escaped custody.
Morgan Geyser was convicted of stabbing a classmate to ‘please’ the fictional Slender Man character and was committed to a mental hospital for 40 years.
However, in January, a judge decided she had maximised her treatment options at the Wisconsin mental health facility and said she could be housed in a group home.

The Madison Police Department was notified of her disappearance this morning.
Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weier, planned and attacked their classmate, Payton Leutner, in 2014 by stabbing her 19 times.
They decided to attack to ‘please’ the Slender Man – a fictional character described as a featureless, white faced person who hides in the woods and stalks children.
The three girls had a sleepover together and went to the park to play what Leutner was told was hide-and-seek.
Weier told Leutner to lie down and cover herself with leaves, which is when Geyser stabbed her multiple times with a kitchen knife in her chest, arms and legs.
One stab wound had cut through her diaphragm and another narrowly missed her heart by less than a millimeter.
Leutner, who was left behind bleeding in the woods, had emergency surgery lasting six hours to save her.

In court, Geyser was described as ‘a fragile person’ with a long history of delusions that made her a risk to others.
