Newly released video shows the moment runaway “Slender Man” stabber Morgan Geyser was finally found by cops — with her main worry being torn from her older transgender accomplice because she “did something wrong.”
Bodycam footage shows Geyser, 23, scared to identify herself to cops who stopped her and her bestie, Chad “Charly” Mecca, 43, at a truck stop in Posen, Ill., Sunday night, a day after she fled her care home more than 150 miles away in Wisconsin.
“I did something wrong, she didn’t,” Geyser says of Mecca, whom police called “he.”
Geyser and Mecca were found at a truck stop outside Chicago on Sunday night. ISN 12 News“She doesn’t know what I did,” she maintained. “I did something really wrong,” she repeats, refusing to provide police with her name.
One of the officers tells her that “It can’t be that serious,” not realizing Geyser had viciously stabbed her classmate when she was 12 years old in an effort to please a fictional internet boogeyman and was now on the run from her care home after cutting off her ankle monitor.
“We just need to ID you, that’s it,” the cop says.
Another officer then comes over and hands Geyser a pad, and she scrawls her name down and provides her birthday.
“I promise she did not know,” she adds about Mecca. Geyser then tries to walk over to Mecca, who is standing with another officer a few feet away, but is stopped.
Chad “Charly” Mecca, 43, said Geyser ran away because the group home where she was staying barred him from seeing her. Posen Police DepartmentGeyser then emotionally pleads that she be allowed to say goodbye because she “will never see her again.”
The officer assures her that she will — but she adds, “No, I won’t … because I did something bad. Let me say goodbye.”
Video later shows the two being placed in handcuffs and hauled off to the police station, where Geyser was seen wearing pink heart-patterned socks.
“Slender Man” stabber Morgan Geyser had fled a group home in Madison, Wisconsin. Posen Police DepartmentMecca, seen in a mug shot with disheveled blue hair and wearing a low-cut pink top, later told police that Geyser cut off her ankle monitor and ran 150 miles away from her group home because the facility was barring Geyser from seeing Mecca.
“The end of the day, I followed what I thought was right. I stand by it,” added Mecca, whom police referred to as “he,” but who identified as transgender and was called “she” by Geyser.
Mecca was issued a citation for criminal trespassing and obstructing identification and released.
Geyser and her friend Anissa Weier were 12 when they lured a fellow sixth-grade girl into a Waukesha, Wisconsin, park in 2014 and stabbed her 19 times to impress “Slender Man,” a supernatural character from a viral internet horror game.
