A Wisconsin woman who brutally stabbed her sixth-grade classmate in 2014 to please the fictional horror character "Slender Man" is expected to be extradited after she was arrested in Illinois for fleeing her group home, authorities said Nov. 24.
Morgan Geyser, now 23, is expected to appear for an extradition hearing in Cook County, Illinois, on Nov. 25 after her arrest in Posen, a suburb of Chicago, television stations TMJ4 News and WFLD reported. Earlier on Nov. 24, Waukesha County District Attorney Lesli Boese confirmed that a warrant had been issued for Geyser's extradition to Wisconsin.
Boese said the Wisconsin Department of Health Services may choose to file a motion to revoke her conditional release. Geyser had been out of a state mental health institute since mid-September under an order by a Waukesha County judge allowing her to live in a group home in Madison, Wisconsin, with electronic monitoring.
