1. "She ran because of me." That's what the man who was arrested with Slender Man attacker Morgan Geyser is saying. Chad Mecca, also known as Charly, called the ABC TV station in Madison on Monday to explain his relationship with Geyser and what happened over the weekend. Mecca explained he met Geyser at church and she opened up to him about her past. A past that includes repeatedly stabbing a classmate in the woods in Waukesha and almost killing her in 2014. When Mecca called WKOW, he said he saw Geyser at the group home in Madison nearly every day for the last month. He said she wanted to leave because they were going to take away Mecca's visiting rights. Mecca is from Janesville. He was charged with Criminal Trespass and Obstructing Identification. Police released him. Geyser is awaiting extradition back here to Wisconsin. She's currently being held in the Cook County Jail.
2. More arrests overseas over last month's robbery of jewels from the Louve. If 8 people are now in custody, how come the jewels are still MIA? Officials believe the jewels have been broken into smaller, untraceable stones and sold individually or incorporated into new, unidentifiable pieces of jewelry. This was a seven-minute, broad-daylight robbery using physical access via a cherry picker and an unsecured window. The revelation has caused significant embarrassment and scrutiny for the museum, highlighting years of underinvestment in security and outdated software.
