Morgan Geyser Back in Wisconsin Custody as State Moves to Revoke Release

A judge will weigh a sealed state petition to revoke her conditional release on Dec. 22.

Overview

  • Authorities say Geyser cut off her GPS monitor and left a Madison group home Saturday, triggering a multi-state search.
  • Posen, Illinois police arrested her Sunday night at a truck stop with a 43-year-old companion who was later charged with trespassing and obstruction.
  • After waiving extradition in Chicago, Geyser was transported to the Waukesha County Jail, according to county officials.
  • The Wisconsin Department of Corrections filed the revocation request, which a judge sealed, and Geyser could be returned to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute and may face additional charges related to the escape.
  • Her conditional release earlier this year followed doctors’ testimony that she had made significant progress, despite prior objections from state health officials and prosecutors.
