In July, a group home in Sun Prairie, a suburb of Madison, withdrew its offer to accept Geyser as a resident. Two other group homes, one in Manitowoc and the other in the Milwaukee area, also fell through, for different reasons.
Geyser, now 23, along with co-defendant Anissa Weier, were charged with attempted homicide of their friend, Payton Leutner, who was stabbed 19 times near David’s Park in Waukesha in May 2014. All three girls were 12 years old at the time.
Believing that they were doing the bidding of the fictional online character called Slender Man, both were found not guilty by reason of mental defect or disease in 2017 and sentenced to mental confinement — Weier for 25 years, and Geyser for 40 years.
Weier was granted conditional release in 2021 on a 25-year commitment order. She was freed from electronic monitoring in 2023, according to court records.
