All three girls were 12 years old at the time. Weier and Geyser left Leutner for dead. A passing bicyclist found her. She suffered 19 stab wounds and barely survived. Police caught up with Weier and Geyser hours after the attack as they were walking along an interstate.
They told investigators they were on their way to the Slender Man's mansion.

The character is understood to have originated in a Photoshop contest on the forums of comedy website Something Awful in It then went viral, with numerous works of fan art and short scary stories - known as 'creepypasta' - published online.

He murders in undescribed ways or he compels others to murder. He is a dark god in an age of digital media and he fills the empty place between the news and the unknown.
The key word there is terror. Slenderman does not directly kill his victims. Instead, he encourages others to in order to please him. Interestingly, the places he haunts are all but gone now.
