Source: LA Times

A Wisconsin woman who admitted to nearly stabbing a classmate to death at age 12 to please the online horror character Slender Man is missing after she cut off an electronic monitoring device and left a group home, authorities said Sunday.

Madison police issued an alert Sunday for Morgan Geyser, now 23, saying she was last seen around 8 p.m. Saturday with an adult acquaintance.

“If you see Geyser, please call 911,” the alert said, adding that she had cut off a “Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet.”

Geyser was placed in a group home this year after being granted conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She was sent to the psychiatric institute in 2018 after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison. The stabbing happened in 2014.

(and supposed mental illness) did not warrant, IMO. Her crime was so damned premeditated and horrendous that I'd love to know why anyone would think her TRULY unlikely to commit violence in the future. She got total benefit due to her age at the time of the attempted horrific murder and the incredulity of the "why" for those deciding her fate. Anyone that devious and manipulative can certainly manipulate mental health professionals examining her for potential downgrades of her confinement and potential for release.

I don't have insider knowledge, so there may well be more to the story, but count me skeptical.
