#053 - In 2014, 12-year old Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier were charged with attempted first degree intentional murder. The girls plotted their attack for months. On the day of the attempted murder, Morgan and Anissa lured their friend, Payton Leutner into the Wisconsin woods and stabbed her 19 times with a kitchen knife.

Morgan and Anissa said it was "kill or be killed". They claimed they needed to kill their fellow 12-year old in order to please the fictional character Slender Man.
