Slender Man Attacker's Escape: Communication Breakdown and Release Concerns

The Slender Man Case and Conditional Release

• 💡 The case of Morgan Geyser, convicted of stabbing a classmate 19 times in a fixation on the "Slender Man" character, is revisited.
• 📌 Geyser was granted conditional release earlier this year after pleading guilty to attempted homicide, but served no prison time.
• ⚠️ Concerns are raised about the initial plea deal, which allowed for release consideration after three years, despite her diagnosis of schizophrenia and psychosis.

Alarming New Information and Release Decision

• 📈 The prosecution opposed Geyser's release, citing new evidence including recordings of her discussing murder and violent acts.
• 🧠 Despite this, a psychologist evaluated her and deemed her fit for release, leading to her transfer to a group home.
• 😨 The former FBI agent expresses strong concern over this release decision, calling it "horrible."

Communication Breakdown in Geyser's Escape

• 🚨 A significant communication breakdown occurred between the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Madison Police Department regarding Geyser's escape.
• ⏳ The DOC knew of her absence at 11:30 PM, but police were not notified for several hours, with searches only beginning after 7 AM the next day.
• 🏘️ The group home was located in a residential neighborhood, with some residents unaware of the nature of the individual residing there.

Concerns About Geyser's Re-offense Potential

• ⚠️ The escape is particularly concerning given new evidence of Geyser communicating with an adult male about murder and violent acts.
• 🧐 There is worry that this same individual may be involved in her escape, especially since she cut off her ankle monitor.
• 💊 The possibility of her not being on medication is a factor in the concern for her behavior.

Potential Consequences and Future

• ⚖️ If found, Geyser will likely be placed back into a mental institution rather than serving time in prison, depending on the specifics of her plea deal.
• 🔍 The adult male she was communicating with is considered a key individual in finding her.
