The Slenderman Stabbing, Part 2

from Pure Malice Hosted by Riane Nix, Taylor Lynch, and Britni Burks

The Slenderman stabbing case did not end with the attack on Peyton Leutner. Slenderman was supposed to stay online: a faceless shadow living in creepypasta threads, internet horror forums, and digital folklore. But in 2014, that fiction became horrifyingly real when 12-year-old Peyton Leutner was stabbed in Wisconsin by two girls she believed were her friends, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier. In Part 2 of our Pure Malice coverage, we move beyond the crime itself and into the years that followed. This episode walks through the appeals, psychiatric evaluations, court decisions, release conditions, and the renewed controversy surrounding Morgan Geyser after she was granted conditional release. We also break down what happened after Geyser disappeared from her group home, how she was recaptured, and the fallout that followed. But at the center of this case is still Peyton Leutner: the survivor whose strength, resilience, and voice remain the most powerful part of this story. How did an internet myth become the motive behind a real-world attack? What happened in the years after the Slenderman stabbing? And why does this case still grip the public more than a decade later? This is Part 2 of the Slenderman Stabbing case, a modern urban legend turned real-life nightmare. 🎙️ Remember... it's not just true crime.
