AdvertisementIn 2014, then 12-year-olds Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their 12-year-old friend Payton Leutner into the woods, where Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times to appease Slender Man, a popular fictional internet character. Geyser was placed in a mental institution, but in July, she was released to a group home in Wisconsin. In 2019, Leutner told “20/20” that she’s not afraid of Geyser and Weier, but that she sleeps with scissors under her pillow “just in case.”Advertisement
