A woman convicted in the infamous 2014 “Slender Man” stabbing has escaped from a supervised living facility in Madison, Wisconsin after removing her court-mandated electronic monitoring device. The missing person, now 23, was last seen late Saturday evening accompanied by an adult inside the group-home area.
Originally tried as an adult for the knife attack—where she stabbed a classmate 19 times—to appease the fictional character, she was determined not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect and committed to a psychiatric institution. In January 2025, after years of treatment, she was released into a structured group-home setting under long-term supervision.
Authorities categorize her as at large and potentially dangerous, urging anyone with information to contact law enforcement immediately. A public appeal has been issued reinforcing that aiding her return or failing to report her whereabouts could result in legal consequences.
