A judge says a woman who stabbed her friend years ago in an effort to summon the fictional “Slenderman” can be released from a mental institution.
Morgan Geyser was 12 when she and another friend lured fellow 12-year-old Payton Leutner into the Wisconsin woods in 2014, stabbing her 19 times. Leutner survived and Geyser, now 22, was sent to an institution. A judge on Thursday ruled Geyser can be released after a hearing on a petition that aimed to keep her comitted.
Three doctors testified that she’s well enough to be let go and a hearing on her release conditions is set for later this month.
