Criminal Lawyer Reacts to the Slenderman Attempted Murderer's Escape and Capture

Eleven years ago, 12-year-old Morgan Geyser stabbed a classmate 19 times in Wisconsin after claiming she believed the fictional horror figure Slender Man was real. After years in a mental health institution, she was conditionally released in 2025 to a supervised group home. On November 22, 2025, Geyser cut off her GPS monitoring bracelet and fled the facility. Authorities searched across multiple states, and she was later found nearly 200 miles away at a gas station in Illinois and taken into custody along with an acquaintance. In this video, criminal lawyer Bruce Rivers examines the legal fallout from Geyser’s escape, the conditions of her release, and whether the mental health and justice systems failed to protect both her and the public.
