What’s Next For The ‘Slender Man’ Stabber?
More than a decade after stabbing her friend and leaving her to die, 22-year-old Morgan Geyser has been granted early release from a mental health facility. In 2014, Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weir, lured their friend, Payton Leutner into a park where they stabbed her 19 times to appease the fictional horror character, ‘Slender Man.’ Geyser was charged with first-degree attempted homicide, but was ultimately found “not guilty by reason of mental disease.”
FOX News Contributor and former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro weighs in on the controversial update within this shocking case and discusses the role of internet lore in crimes.
