Morgan Geyser Recaptured in Illinois After Cutting Ankle Monitor

She waived extradition in Cook County as Wisconsin health officials move to revoke her supervised release.

Overview

  • Police found Geyser sleeping behind a truck stop in Posen, Illinois, roughly 24 hours after she left a Madison group home.
  • Madison police said they were not told she was missing until nearly 12 hours after she left, despite an earlier alert from the state corrections department.
  • An adult who was with Geyser was detained on identification- and trespass-related counts and later released, according to Posen police.
  • Geyser had been living under strict community supervision after nearly seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute following the 2014 stabbing case.
  • Cook County records show she signed a waiver of extradition, and Waukesha County officials say the state has petitioned to revoke her conditional release.
