More than a decade after stabbing her friend and leaving her to die, 22-year-old Morgan Geyser has been granted early release from a mental health facility. In 2014, Geyser and her friend, Anissa Weir, lured their friend, Payton Leutner into a park where they stabbed her 19 times to appease the fictional horror character, 'Slender Man.' Geyser was charged with first-degree attempted homicide, but was ultimately found "not guilty by reason of mental disease."
FOX News Contributor and former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro weighs in on the controversial update within this shocking case and discusses the role of internet lore in crimes.

Police dismissed them as runaways, unaware that the man responsible for their disappearances was one of America's most prolific and horrific serial killers: Dean Corll.

How many child border crossers end up like the victims of this episode. And what is Biden's cut in opening and keeping open the border.
Why John keeps chumming for distractions when he very well knows who killed his daughter is un-understandable. He could just as well let it settle and be forgotten.
Rate 100% Emily is excellent. I am bragging to the world !
I remember this story when it happened realtime. I now know the whole story as an adult. God Bless all of the people who were directly effected by this horrible event. What a brave person to come so very far working through the emotional and mental aftermath of her enduring such an event.It is sad and completely without foresight for Newsome to pardon the villains without a thought to the mental and emotional health of survivors of such events.
This is a clear case of domestic abuse. It is not as uncommon as you think for the father to kill his children to hurt their mother.
Just finished this episode, and wow, the FBI agent was so transparent. I have heard several stories about these murders, but this one was deep. It left me praying for him, the victims families, and other LE that carry such burdens. Great job on all your podcasts, Emily. You ask all the right questions, in my opinion. God bless you all.
Great Pod!
It's one of the best podcasts I've listened to. Great job Emily.
