Geyser was granted conditional release in January after she spent nearly eight years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
After the attack, both Geyser and Weier admitted they were trying to kill Leutner in order to appease fictional horror character Slender Man. The girls claimed they were fearful of Slender Man hurting their own families if the attack didn't happen.

Weier was ordered to serve 25 years and Geyser was ordered to serve 40 years.
