The senseless attack was reportedly 'dedicated' to Slender Man - a fictitious entity invented on an Internet forum who typically appears as a very tall, thin individual with a black suit and no face.

Geyser, who pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide in 2018, was sent to Winnebago Mental Health Institute where she was determined to be suffering from mental illness.Weier, meanwhile, had also been sent to a mental health facility but was later released on the basis that she no longer represented a threat to the public.

Now Geyser is petitioning to be released on similar grounds.

She will be subject to a renewed medical evaluation with a decision expected later this year.
