Episode 40: The Slenderman Stabbing Part 2

Join us this week for our last episode of 2022, which is a super bumper length episode to finish the Slenderman stabbing case!

 

This week we cover the aftermath of the attack, the attempted search for Slenderman mansion from Morgan and Anissa, as well as the court case. We take a look at the girl's struggles with mental health - especially Morgan with her, at the time, undiagnosed schizophrenia, and we take a look at what happened to all three girls after the trial and as time moved on.
