MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin woman who almost killed her sixth-grade classmate to please horror character Slender Man and then fled her group home won't fight extradition from Illinois. A Cook County court spokesperson says Morgan Geyser made the move Tuesday during a hearing. Wisconsin authorities now have 30 days to pick her up and bring her back to the state.  She and a 43-year-old companion were arrested in Posen, Illinois, on Sunday.
