First Watch: Slender Man Stabber Escapes & “Last Chance U” Murder

An 11-year-old Slender Man case returns to the headlines when Morgan Geyser cuts off his ankle monitor, escapes a Wisconsin group home, and is found sleeping outside a Chicago truck stop with an older companion he met at church. Katie breaks down how a shared delusion led to the near fatal stabbing of Payton Leutner, Morgan’s years in a state hospital, and what this escape could mean for his future.

Then we go to Oakland, where Laney College legend and “Last Chance U” coach John Beam is shot inside the campus field house. A former student with no criminal record is arrested and now talks about witchcraft and conspiracies. Was this targeted, a mental health break, or something no one saw coming?
