Woman Behind Slender Man Stabbing Case Directed Police to Google Her Name: Court Documents
A bizarre incident in an Illinois court revealed that Morgan Geyser, the woman accused of stabbing her friend in a ritualistic "Slender Man" attack, told police officers who questioned her about her identity to simply "Google it."
According to sources close to the investigation, when authorities asked for Geyser's name during her arrest on Sunday, she instructed them to look up her information online. The unusual request has left many scratching their heads, as it appears Geyser was confident in the accuracy of her digital footprint.
Geyser's case drew widespread attention last year after she and another teenager, Anissa Weier, allegedly stabbed their classmate, Anissa's friend Sabrina Mueller, in a ritual intended to appease the online character Slender Man. The attack left Mueller with severe injuries that required multiple surgeries.
As the court documents detail Geyser's arrest, authorities' initial hesitation suggests that they may have underestimated her online presence. It remains unclear why Geyser felt the need to direct police to Google her name or what this says about her confidence in her digital identity.
Geyser is currently facing charges related to the attack, which has raised questions about mental health and the consequences of delving into online mythology. As her case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Geyser's actions reflect a deeper understanding of her own digital footprint or simply a misguided attempt to deflect attention.

Directing cops to Google her name is wild. I guess she knew she'd come up on top or something. It's like, yeah, your online presence is pretty solid if you can make the authorities do a Google search. But at the same time, it's kinda creepy how confident she was in that. Like, did she really think she'd get a good response online? And what's with this Slender Man thing anyway? It's just a myth, right? 
I don't know, maybe there's more to it than we know. But one thing's for sure, this case is getting some serious attention and I'm kinda curious to see how it all plays out.
? like, I know we're all weird in our own ways but I think it's actually kinda cool that she knew exactly what to say to Google her name and stuff. it shows how far online presence has come, right? people are so confident in their digital footprint now. and at the same time, it's also a bit scary thinking about how much info is out there about us... I mean, who wouldn't want to check on someone's online presence before accusing them of a crime, lol? anyway, I'm just gonna focus on the fact that Morgan Geyser is speaking her mind and taking responsibility for her actions. it's all good, let's move forward! 
. I mean, you've got this girl who's so invested in online mythology that she's willing to basically direct the police to herself online. It's like, what even is her digital footprint at this point? Does she really think Google's got her info locked down tighter than a vice? 
.
I mean, I get that she's got some issues, but directing the cops to Google herself? That's just wild. It's like she knew all along she'd be caught and was trying to be all cool about it. But at the same time, it's also kinda sad that someone would feel so confident in their online presence that they think a quick search would clear everything up. And what's with this Slender Man thing? Like, I get why some people might get into it, but stabbing someone in the name of an online character? That's just not right. 
Anyway, I hope she gets help and all, but I'm still shaking my head over this whole ordeal...
It's crazy to think that someone would be so confident in their digital identity, especially given the consequences of her actions... it's all a bit concerning, tbh. 
The Slender Man mythos is already pretty intense, but this just takes it to a whole new level 
️
i mean i get why ppl would wanna look up their own name online but doing it in a court setting tho?? 
And is this really how we're supposed to be trusting our online presence? I mean, Slender Man or not, this whole thing just feels kinda weird. 
. Like, I get that Morgan Geyser was really into the whole Slender Man thing and all, but this "Google it" thing is just wild 
. I mean, what if someone had been searching for her name that day? Like, would they have found the stabbing pics from last year or something? 
Like, are people just so confident in the digital world that they feel like they can throw down some crazy challenge 
?
