Also, we'll probably have a deep dive on this in the near future.

So stay tuned.

Now, in another throwback case that had a huge update over the weekend that I talked about a little bit on social media, but want to talk about it here, Morgan Geyser, the primary attacker back in the 2014 Slenderman stabbing.

You may remember her.

She was briefly on the run this weekend after she cut off her ankle monitoring bracelet and disappeared from a group home where she had been living.

Now, as a reminder for those who aren't familiar with this case, it's

haunting and so, so disturbing.

But back in 2014, Morgan and her friend Anissa lured their friend and classmate Peyton into the woods.

Once they had Peyton in the woods, and by the way, they were all 12 years old at the time, just 12.

Once they had Peyton in the woods, Morgan stabbed her 19 times while Anissa was like egging her on.

Luckily, Peyton survived this attack, and she was able to crawl out of the woods and get to safety, although she had to spend a lot of time in the hospital recovering.

But once Morgan and Anissa were apprehended, their explanation to the investigators was that this attack was all in an effort to appease Slenderman.

the fictional horror character that they were apparently convinced was real.

They thought that by doing this sacrifice and this killing for him, they would get to live in his castle.

That's where they were actually walking at the time that they were arrested, or I should say apprehended on the side of the road.

They thought that it would help save their families, fully believing that this fictional character was real, according to them.

Whether or not they truly believed it, who the hell really knows.

But again, all three girls were only 12 years old at the time.

So at the trial, I believe Morgan pled guilty to either intentional attempted first-degree or second-degree homicide.

However, she was found not guilty by mental defect, and instead of going to prison, she was sentenced to 40 years in a psychiatric facility.
