February 25, 2022 Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier: The Slender Man Stabbing of Waukesha | Part 2
"We didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time..."
On May 31st, 2014, two 12-year-old girls would commit an act of violence so vicious and shocking it would capture the attention of the entire world. Yet, the only thing more unbelievable than the crime itself was their motive. It was a crime done out of both fear and desire. They had hoped the sacrifice they offered would appease their benevolent tormentor. This is the case of Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier: The Slender Man Stabbing of Waukesha
