\n A Wisconsin woman who almost killed her sixth-grade classmate to please the fictional horror villain known as Slender Man was ordered back to a state psychiatric hospital Tuesday after she escaped from her group home<\/a> last month.\n <\/p>\n \n Waukesha County Circuit Judge K. Scott Wagner granted a state Department of Health Services request to revoke 23-year-old Morgan Geyser\u2019s release privileges. Geyser told the judge through her attorney, Tony Cotton, last week that she would not fight revocation. Wagner then approved the request during a short hearing.\n <\/p>\n \n Cotton didn\u2019t immediately respond to an email message seeking comment.\n <\/p>\n \n Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier lured their classmate, Payton Leutner<\/a>, to a Waukesha park in 2014. Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times while Weier cheered her on. A passing bicyclist discovered Leutner, who barely survived. All three girls were 12 at the time.\n <\/p>\n \n Geyser and Weier later told investigators they attacked Leutner in hopes of impressing Slender Man<\/a> enough that he would make them his servants and wouldn\u2019t hurt their families. Both of them were eventually committed to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute \u2014 Geyser for 40 years<\/a> and Weier for 25 years<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n \n Weier earned conditional release in 2021. Wagner granted Geyser conditional release this past September despite warnings from state Department of Health Services officials that she couldn\u2019t be trusted.\n <\/p>\n \n Geyser was placed in a Madison group home. Authorities say that on November 22 she cut off her GPS monitor and fled the state with a 43-year-old companion. Police arrested both of them the next day at a truck stop outside Chicago, about 170 miles (274 kilometers) south of Madison.\n <\/p>\n \n Geyser\u2019s companion told WKOW-TV that the two of them became friends at church and had been seeing each other daily for the last month. Geyser decided to escape because she was afraid the group home would no longer allow them to see each other, the companion said.\n <\/p>\n
