A Wisconsin woman is set to be released from a mental hospital more than a decade after her involvement in a shocking crime linked to the Slender Man character. On July 17, 2025, a judge approved the conditional release plan for Morgan Geyser, who has spent the last seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
