A 23-year-old Wisconsin woman who nearly stabbed a classmate to death to please a horror character called Slender Man has been recaptured in Illinois after leaving a group home, officials say.

Authorities say a Wisconsin woman who admitted to nearly stabbing a classmate to death in 2014 to please the horror character Slender Man has been found in Illinois after she cut off an electronic monitoring device and left a group home.

Morgan Geyser was found with a man at a truck stop in Posen, Illinois after cutting off her electronic monitoring bracelet and leaving a group home in Madison.

The woman who admitted to stabbing a classmate, nearly killing her, to please the fictional Slender Man escaped from a group home in Wisconsin, but was captured hours later. Morgan Geyser, 23, cut off her electronic monitoring device and left the group home in Madison, Wisconsin, over the weekend, The Associated Press reported.
