MADISON -- Morgan Geyser has been taken into custody in Illinois as of 10:34 pm, according to the Madison Police Department.
She had been missing since Saturday night, after cutting off her Department of Corrections monitoring bracelet and leaving her group home. She had traveled near Kroncke Drive around 8p.m. Saturday with an adult acquaintance.
She was found at a truck stop in Posen, Illinois. Posen is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Chicago.
Geyser was found with a 42-year-old man who was charged with criminal trespassing and obstructing identification, Posen police confirmed. He has since been released from custody.
Geyser, along with Anissa Weier, stabbed their classmate, Payton Leutner, 19 times in Waukesha in 2014 when they were 12 years old. All in an effort to appease the fictional character Slender Man.
Both were found not guilty by mental defect and committed to psychiatric facilities.
Geyser was originally sentenced to 40 years in a mental health institution before she was granted her conditional release by a Waukesha County judge back in March.
According to the department, the search for her is over.

Maybe the driver saw her hitchhiking and gave her a ride either out of kindness or hoping for a hook-up and fell for some B.S. story she told him.
I didn’t see your post before I posted mine. Great minds think alike.
More defective American women.
