What happens when the line between fantasy and reality blurs for two young girls obsessed with the online horror entity known as Slender Man? Prepare for a spine-chilling journey as we dissect the infamous Slender Man stabbing, a horrifying crime committed by 12-year-old schoolmates Anissa Weir and Morgan Geyser. Peyton Lautner, their friend, and the intended sacrificial lamb, was discovered on a local road, barely alive, after suffering 19 severe stab wounds orchestrated by Anissa and Morgan. This gruesome incident paints a stark picture of the horrifying power of peer pressure and the perils of adolescence.
Dive headfirst into the murky waters of Morgan Geyser's psyche how her mind, tainted by early onset schizophrenia, fueled her into committing such a heinous act, and her chilling indifference towards the consequences of the crime. The labyrinth of her mind is a morbid treasure trove of over 50 pictures of Slender Man, mutilated dolls, and internet searches about getting away with murder. It's a chilling exploration showcasing the frightening extent to which a child can be influenced by the dark corners of the internet.
The aftermath of this macabre crime brought about shocking developments. Anissa and Morgan's trials, their eventual sentences, and the ripple effects of the assault on Peyton Leutner form an integral part of our discussion. Learn about Peyton's remarkable recovery and her aspiration to enter the medical field, and Morgan's decision to withdraw her appeal for release. This episode offers a riveting analysis of the influence of online horror stories, the devastations of divorce, bullying, and the destructive side of teenage curiosity. Strap in for this compelling narrative of a crime that shook a small community to its very foundations.
