Judge Revokes Morgan Geyser’s Release, Orders Return to State Psychiatric Care

The move follows her November escape from a Madison group home, prompting a DHS petition to end her community placement.

Overview

  • Waukesha County Circuit Judge K. Scott Wagner on Tuesday granted the Department of Health Services’ request to rescind Geyser’s conditional release.
  • Geyser appeared by video and waived her right to a revocation hearing, declining to contest the petition.
  • She was ordered back into DHS custody for inpatient treatment, with specific placement and transport details under seal.
  • Authorities say she cut off her GPS ankle monitor on Nov. 22, took a bus toward Chicago, and was arrested the next day in Posen, Illinois with 43-year-old Chad Mecca.
  • Geyser had been living in a Madison-area group home after a judge approved conditional release earlier this year following years at Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
