Overview
- Morgan Geyser cut off her GPS monitor on Nov. 22 and was found about 24 hours later in Posen, Illinois, after Madison police were not alerted for more than 10 hours.
- The Department of Corrections placed three staff members on administrative leave and launched a personnel investigation into the delayed response and notification failures.
- New procedures require an immediate apprehension request and a teletype/TIME alert to law enforcement upon confirmation of a tamper, eliminating a prior step to attempt a device reset.
- DOC records show the Electronic Monitoring Center was operating with about a 21% vacancy rate and processed 397 alarms between 9 p.m. and midnight that night, with Geyser’s tamper logged at 9:38 p.m., acted on at 11:10 p.m., and an apprehension request entered at 12:05 a.m.
- Waukesha County confirms Geyser is no longer in its jail; court documents indicate she is at Winnebago Mental Health Institute, and a revocation hearing is set for February (WISN reports Feb. 10).
