An account of event leading up to the stabbing was laid out in a statement released Monday by Waukesha police chief, Russell Jack. The three girls had a sleepover at one of the suspects home. In the morning, police said, Geyser and Weiser lured their friend to a local park where one girl held one girl held her down while the other stabbed her repeatedly in her arm, legs and torso.
The girl was stabbed 19 times according to authorities. She then was able to crawl away and was discovered by a passing bicyclist, police said. She was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery for her injuries, which includes injuries to major organ. She is listed in stable condition at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, police said. Police alleged that Geyser and Weiser planned the attacks for several months....
"Both suspects had a fascination in a fictional character that often posted to a website that is a collection of small stories about death and horror" Jack said in a statement.
Mythical figure 'Slender-Man'
According to the criminal complaints, Weiser told police they were trying to prove that the 'slender man' a fictitious internet character was real, according to local media reports. The idea allegedly was to kill as the slender man to proves his existence.
The Slender Man is a monster meme created in 2009 by a user of the website, Something Awful, according to the website, whatculture.com. Through years of posts and back stories, the character has become a modern-day myth about a faceless man.
