A chilling revelation has emerged in the case of a young woman who stabbed her friend 19 times in an attempt to appease a fictional character from internet folklore. Morgan Geyser, 17, was apprehended by authorities on Sunday and during questioning, she allegedly told officers who asked for her identity that they could simply "Google" her name.
According to the police, when confronted about her actions, Geyser seemed nonchalant about the severity of the crime, downplaying it with a flippant comment that has left many baffled. The incident has sparked widespread concern and raised questions about the mental state of the perpetrator and the impact of online culture on young minds.
Geyser's motivations for committing such a heinous act remain unclear, but it is widely believed that her desire to appease "Slender Man", a character from internet urban legends, played a significant role. The fact that she seemed so unconcerned about the consequences of her actions raises serious doubts about her mental fitness and ability to distinguish right from wrong.
The incident highlights the need for greater awareness and understanding of online influences on young people's behavior, as well as the importance of providing adequate support and resources for those who may be struggling with similar impulses. As authorities continue to investigate this shocking case, many are left wondering how such a tragic event could have occurred under their watch.
