Madison police said they were not made aware of her disappearance until nearly 12 hours later, on Sunday morning."
"As the search unfolded, Geyser's attorney, Tony Cotton, posted a video to Instagram urging her to turn herself in. "Do not continue to remain on the run like this," he said. "It is not in your best interest to handle this matter that way." Geyser was found Sunday night across state lines, some 165 miles away in Posen, Ill. about 20 miles south of Chicago the Posen Police Department said on Monday."
"They said officers responded to a report of a man and woman loitering behind a truck stop, and found the two sleeping on the sidewalk. The woman repeatedly refused to provide her name and initially gave them a fake one. "After continued attempts to identify her, she finally stated that she didn't want to tell officers who she was because she had 'done something really bad,' and suggested that officers could 'just Google' her name," police added."
