GRUESOME photos show the blood-spattered scene left by deranged child criminal Morgan Geyser – who has just been released from a psychiatric hospital.
Geyser was just 12 years old when she tracked down a classmate and stabbed her 19 times to “please” fictional internet character Slender Man.

The Wisconsin native is now being released from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute to a group living rehabilitation facility after receiving seven years of treatment.
This is her fourth time requesting release since she pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide for the 2014 attack, but this time, a series of doctors were able to vouch for her progress.
“She’s done what she’s supposed to do,” said Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren.
Extreme mental illness drove Geyser to snatch a kitchen knife from her kitchen and lure little 12-year-old Payton Leutner to the woods in Milwaukee suburb Waukesha, prosecutors said at the time.
She was joined by best friend Anissa Weier, who egged the deranged child on as she drove the knife into Payton’s body.
After being arrested, Geyser disturbingly said her actions were meant to “please” Slender Man – a creepy internet myth that was said to steal children.
The criminal said Slender Man would have taken her from her family if she didn’t do his murderous bidding.
After being pounced on by her classmate, little Payton desperately crawled to safety and was found by a brave cyclist.
Though she survived the attack, horrific crime scene photos give an insight into the pain and torture she had to suffer at Geyser’s hand.
DISTURBING SCENE
Little Payton put on a white graphic t-shirt with inspiring messages of love, hope, and smiling to meet her friends.
But by the end of the night, her entire outfit was riddled with knife holes and caked with dried blood.
Her bright yellow shorts also had a pool of blood on the front, and her flip-flops were left abandoned in the eerie woods.
Before they met, Payton, Geyser and Weier packed a supply bag with the knife, a notebook, candy, and maxi pads.
When cops found them, they both had splatters of blood stained on their clothes.

Investigators also found drops of blood that had flown onto tree branches near the attack.
Geyser is now 22 years old, and she’s been fighting to get out of her facilities for years. In April, her third attempt for freedom was shot down by the judge.
Meanwhile, Weier, who pleaded guilty to second-degree intentional homicide, was granted release in 2021.
In court, three psychologists who have worked with Geyser over the years said she had made impressive process, especially in the past six months.
She stopped taking anti-psychotic medications in 2023 and has shown no symptoms, according to Dr. Brooke Lundbohm.
Dr. Ken Robbins said that Geyser was ready to integrate herself back into society and warned that if she didn’t interact with others, she could worsen.
The Waukesha County Assistant District Attorney Ted Szczupakiewicz claimed that Geyser couldn’t be trusted.
He accused the criminal of claiming her father was abusive in an evaluation last year. She said she made up the Slender Man story to get away from him, according to the prosecutor.
But the judge sided with the doctors, and concluded that Geyser no longer poses a threat to herself or others.
