46: The Slender Man Stabbing
Episode description
Hello and welcome to Crime & Spirits Podcast, where your hosts, Bree & Suze, teach you all about some true crime, spooky stories, and how to make one heck of a good cocktail.
Join the girls this week while they dive into the dark and twisty Slender Man Stabbing.
In May 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, lured their best friend Payton "Bella" Leutner into the woods and stabbed her almost twenty times. A few hours later, once the police are involved, Morgan and Anissa reveal why they tried to kill their best friend. They needed to prove themselves worthy of becoming proxies of the Slender Man, a fictional horror character featured in creepypasta and other media types across the internet.
Join us for a drink while we chat about some true crime! For sipping along this week, our resident bartender Suze is mixing up "The After Midnight Margarita."
Not a drinker? That's okay!! Make yourself a cup of coffee or just grab a bottle of water. It doesn't matter what you're sipping along with, we're just happy to have you here.
Come hang out with us on social media! This is where we post the shopping lists (so you can stock up your bar ahead of time), drink recipes, and other fun things.
