Escape from ‘Slender Man’ stalwart takes a new twist with transgender accomplice

The “Slender Man” stab escape has taken a new twist… Morgan Geyser – the killer inspired by internet horror characters – ran away from a group home because she was reportedly no longer allowed to see her transgender boyfriend.

As you know, Geyser cut off her ankle monitor on Saturday evening and slipped out of the group home in Madison, Wisconsin, where she was living under the supervision of the Department of Corrections. The police started a nationwide manhunt and recaptured Geyser the next day… and now it’s being reported that Geyser was found with her transgender boyfriend, Chad “Charly” Meccaat a truck stop in Posen, Illinois, near Chicago.

Geyser, 23, was not hit with local charges because doing so would only serve to extend her extradition to Wisconsin, police said. An extradition hearing is scheduled for today in Cook County.

The 43-year-old Mecca — who Geyser reportedly says is transgender and refers to her as “she,” despite police using male pronouns for Mecca — was issued a summons for criminal trespass and hindering identification, though police did not provide details.

Mecca was booked into the provincial jail and posed for a mug shot before giving a telephone interview WKOW 27 in Madison.

Mecca told the reporter that Geyser “ran away because of me,” citing the claim that they would be prohibited from seeing each other in the group home. As a result, Mecca said the best decided to escape together, believing that what they did was right and she stands by their decision.

In 2017, Geyser, who was twelve at the time, pleaded guilty to attempted intentional manslaughter in the brutal stabbing of Payton Leutneralso 12. Geyser’s 12 year old friend, Anissa Weieralso pleaded guilty to accessory to attempted intentional homicide.

Geyser told investigators she was inspired to kill Leutner by an online horror character called the “Slender Man,” which led to the 2018 film of the same name.
