    A doctor who has worked with the Slender Man stabber Morgan Geyser for a decade said that the inmate’s claims that she “faked” psychotic symptoms mean she is less eligible for release than she may feel.

    On day two of a conditional release hearing, Dr Brooke Lundbohm spoke of inconsistencies in the 21-year-old’s reporting of her mental health state, and that meant she still posed a risk to herself and the community.

    Geyser is serving a 40-year sentence in a mental institution after she stabbed her friend when she was 12-years-old in Wisconsin in 2014, believing that she was doing it to please the fictional character “Slender Man”.

    Ultimately, the judge ruled that Geyser was not and sent her back to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
