The Slender Man stabber has escaped.
According to The Guardian, Morgan Geyser, 23, was discovered in Posen, Illinois, after she had escaped from a group home where she removed her monitoring bracelet. Previously, authorities issued an alert, noting that Geyser was last seen with another acquaintance on Saturday. Back in 2014, Geyser had confessed to “repeatedly stabbing a sixth-grade classmate” to honor the fictional Slender Man. The classmate, Payton Leutner, was stabbed by Geyser 19 times.
Geyser’s horrific crime went viral after she explicitly admitted that Leutner was attacked in hopes of becoming a “servant” for Slender Man. She believed that this was necessary to keep Slender Man from harming her own family. Another classmate, Anissa Weier, encouraged Geyser to perform the act.
Until now, Geyser was in a psychiatric center and then a group home in Madison, Wisconsin.
According to ABC News, Geyser would not give her identity to police, telling them to “Google her.”

“The female repeatedly refused to provide her real name and initially gave a false one,” police said, per ABC News. “…she finally stated that she didn’t want to tell officers who she was because she had ‘done something really bad…'” Geyser’s acquaintance has not been named, but is reportedly a 42-year-old male. The two were discovered asleep on the sidewalk.
Earlier this year, Fox 6 Milwaukee reported on Geyser’s conditional release and move into the group home. She now also identifies as a transgender male and says she “no longer hears voices.”
Geyser’s crimes and her escape, however, point to something even more sinister that continues to grow in our nation. Children are being fed content that leads to demonic acts and oppression, sometimes in subtle ways, and at other times, in very blatant terms.
Geyser’s escape is more than a headline—it is a sobering reminder that the demonic is no longer hiding in the shadows. Our culture is being saturated with darkness disguised as entertainment, creativity and “just stories.” What once belonged to the fringes of the internet has now become normalized, even celebrated. As Christians, we cannot afford to shrug off these moments as isolated incidents. They are warnings—alarms sounding in the spirit—revealing how aggressively the enemy is targeting the next generation.
Now more than ever, we must guard the gates of our homes. We must pray with discernment, watch with vigilance and teach our children how to recognize truth from deception. The darkness may be rising, but so is the call to stand firm. When we stay anchored in God’s Word, filled with His Spirit and attentive to what is shaping our children, no scheme of the enemy will prevail.
