Hey! Over here!
Please!
911, what is the address
of your emergency?
Waukesha County, I'm gonna transfer
over a caller on Big Bend.
That's a dead end
just south of Rivera.
Okay. He came upon a
12-year-old female.
She appears
to have been stabbed.
She appears to be what?
- Stabbed.
- Stabbed?
Correct.
On Saturday, May 31st, 2014,
at approximately 9:50 a.m.,
the Waukesha Police
Department was notified
by a concerned citizen
that a 12-year-old girl
was stabbed
in the area of Big Bend Road
in the city of Waukesha.
police presence to the area,
a major search by ground and air
looking for two other girls.
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser
are accused
and leaving her for dead.
into the woods
Police say that's when Geyser,
holding the knife,
was told by Weier,
"Go ballistic, go crazy."
And what happened?
Payton said,
"Then she started."
Geyser began to stab
the 12-year-old,
as she screamed, 19 times
with a five-inch blade.
In the arms, legs, and torso.
One of the knife wounds
missed a major artery
near her heart
by just a millimeter.
Payton somehow survived.
She crawled out of those woods.
on the sidewalk,
covered in blood
and begging for help.
she said, "My best friend."
Police say the suspects
were inspired by a character
on a website called Creepypasta,
a site filled
with scary stories.
Now, the story they followed
was about a character
called Slenderman.
A tall, fictional boogeyman
featured on Internet blogs.
Slenderman, a faceless ghoul
many parents have likely
never heard of.
If you don't know
who Slenderman is...
well, we didn't either,
If you don't know who Slenderman
is, you live under a rock.
Who's that?
Run! Run! Run!
Oh my god, run! No, run!
- Oh my god!
- Oh my god!
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser
were found walking
near the interstate.
They later told police
they planned to walk
to Slenderman's mansion.
Police say it's also who
they wanted to please.
Anissa felt as though
she needed to prove
that Slenderman existed and would be
able to do that by killing somebody.
And Morgan said that her family
would be in danger if they didn't.
Prosecutors have charged
the girls as adults.
If convicted on the charges,
each 12-year-old faces
up to 65 years in prison.
Did it seem to you at any point
during your interview with Morgan
that she was remorseful
about what she had done?
Absolutely none.
Did she cry at all at any point
during your interview of her?
There was no emotion
from her at all.
Did you, after discussing
the incident itself,
have any conversation
with Payton
about how she felt about Morgan
and Anissa at this point?
She said that Morgan should go to
jail for the rest of her life...
and that Anissa should
go to jail too, but not as long
because she was involved
but she didn't stab her.
She just stood there
and watched.
Hi, Morgan.
Hi, Morgan.
Morgan was a surprise.
And I didn't know how to feel
about it at first...
but I knew that I loved her.
Yay!
And she changed
our lives drastically
and for the better.
Morgan's always been quirky,
and she's always marched
to the beat of her own drum.
Even from...
from little on...
she didn't care
which I think is a wonderful trait,
especially for... for a girl.
Girls are usually so...
so self-conscious
and concerned about...
about what others think of them,
and Morgan was never like that.
You know, she just...
She always just did
her own thing,
and if people didn't like it,
well, that was their problem.
Kitties and puppies
aren't wild animals.
- No, that's right.
- They're not. They're pets.
I had a camera in her face
for a good portion
of her childhood,
so I think she got sick
of it sometimes.
She got a real miniature baby grand
piano for Christmas one year.
And she would sit there
for quite a long time,
just making up
sweet little songs.
And we tried to capture as many
of them as we could on video,
but usually as soon as she realized
that we were paying attention
or recording her,
she would stop.
They'll stay stray forever
as a little...
odd was that she...
She didn't react the way
that you would
expect her to react...
like at the movies.
Like, if something bad happened
to the main character, she...
she wouldn't
have empathy for them.
Bambi, come here!
Look.
New spring grass.
with her for the first time.
We were so worried
to watch it with her,
because we thought she was gonna be
so upset when... when the mother died.
Bambi, quick! The thicket!
Faster! Faster, Bambi!
Don't look back!
Keep running! Keep running!
But the mother died,
and Morgan just said,
"Run Bambi, run! Get out
of there, save yourself!"
You know?
And she wasn't sad about it.
We made it!
We made it, Mother!
We...
Mother!
a lot of other examples
along those lines
where she hasn't reacted
in the way
that we would expect
a little girl to react.
We were aware that Morgan
was interested in Slenderman.
She would show us some of the
characters and some of the stories.
While I wasn't thrilled
about her interest,
I didn't really see
the harm in it either.
We never thought
for a moment that she...
that it was real.
When I was Morgan's age, I...
I remember biking home from the
library with Stephen King's "It."
You know, so I liked that sort
of thing too when I was her age,
and I think most kids her age do like
scary stories and horror movies and...
scary stories on the Internet, you know?
So, that's all that we...
that's all that
we thought that it was.
I just can't imagine her...
with that plan on her own.
My bonnie...
My bonnie lies
over the ocean
My bonnie
lies over the sea
My bonnie lies
over the ocean
So bring back
my bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back
my bonnie to me
Bring back!
Bring back
Back
Oh, bring back my bonnie
to me Bonnie... me
She lost a tooth, so the tooth
fairy gave her a dollar.
It was that tooth.
I was telling her...
I was like, "A dollar?"
I said, "I only ever got
quarters from the tooth fairy."
She was happy.
The tooth fairy
gave her a dollar.
This was the last video I have.
This was at the end of her
sixth grade year for school.
Hush, hush,
somebody's callin' my name
Hush! Somebody's
callin' my name
Hush, hush,
somebody's callin' my name
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord,
what should I do?
Yes, this is Anissa's
very pink bedroom.
At the time that we painted
this, pink was the thing.
Anissa's his person.
Tiger is Anissa's cat.
After Anissa left...
he would come up here
and he'd spend a lot of time
