Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Police in Illinois said they captured Morgan Geyser, one of the two people who pleaded guilty to stabbing a friend to appease an imaginary creature called Slender Man, more than 100 miles away from the Wisconsin group home where she was staying.
Geyser allegedly cut off her monitoring bracelet Saturday night before leaving the residence in Madison and meeting up with an acquaintance. The police in Posen, Ill., told ABC News that law enforcement officials took her into custody Sunday night. Madison police confirmed her capture to CNN.
The Posen police said officers found Geyser at a truck stop with another person, identified as a 42-year-old man who was arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and obstructing identification.
Police said they planned to transfer Geyser for an extradition hearing at the Criminal Court Administration Building in Chicago.
