Morgan Geyser has spent nearly seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She has petitioned Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren, who committed her, for release four times since June 2022. She withdrew her first two petitions. Bohren denied her third request this past April, finding she still presented a threat to the public.

A judge ruled Morgan Geyser, convicted in the "Slender Man" stabbing case, can leave a state psychiatric hospital. FOX6 spoke to a defense attorney.
