Geyser is one of the two students who were convicted of brutally stabbing their classmate Payton Leutner 19 times after luring her into a forest in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Supposedly, they attacked Leutner to ‘please the Slender Man’, a fictional horror character.
Miraculously, Leutner survived the 2014 incident.
Both Geyser and her accomplice, Anissa Weier, were charged with first-degree attempted intentional homicide.
Geyser was sentenced to 40 years in a mental hospital in 2018 but earlier this year, she was released from the facility and sent to a group home after three psychologists testified she was prepared for supervised release.
As part of her release, Geyser was told she had to wear a monitoring bracelet.
Geyser recently escaped from the home but was found by law enforcement the following evening.
She was discovered at Thornton’s truck stop with another person and was taken into custody around 10.30pm on Sunday evening (November 23). The pair were found asleep on the sidewalk.
« The female repeatedly refused to provide her real name and initially gave a false one, » police said of the 23-year-old.
« After continued attempts to identify her, she finally stated that she didn’t want to tell officers who she was because she had ‘done something really bad,’ and suggested that officers could ‘just Google’ her name. »The male companion Geyser was with has not been named but was reportedly charged with criminal trespassing and obstructing identification.
The unnamed man, who is said to be 42 years old, has been released. Police have not disclosed details on his possible involvement in Geyser’s escape from the group home.
