Back in May 2014, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weiera invited their friend, Payton Leutner over for a sleepover.During the sleepover, Morgan and Anissa lured Payton into the woods to play a game of hide and seek. It was there that Morgan and Anissa stabbed Payton 19 times. The wounds just missed a major artery, her heart and hit two major organs. 

Payton is now recovered and returned to school in September 2014.
Before the stabbing, Payton told her mom the girls would talk about the tall faceless feature named Slenderman. The two girls blamed the attempted murder on the Slenderman during chilling interviews with the police and said they believed they had to kill someone to honor the Slenderman.
Recently, it was decided that the girls will be competent for trial after further psychological treatment and the girls will be tried as adults. If convicted, they could be sent to prison for up to 60 years and bail has been set at $500,000.
