Hours after stabbing a classmate in the Wisconsin woods, Morgan Geyser spoke to the detective in the police station about the motive for the near-fatal assault, People says.

"What were you trying to do with her when you were stabbed?" The agent asked Geyser. "Kill her. I should say it. We were trying to kill her, "she said. People's note states that the interrogation appears in a video obtained by ABC News for a 20/20 episode dealing with the case.

The victim of the girls, at that time preadolescents, was Payton Leuner. Geyser's mother, Angie, confessed to the ABC News that watching the interrogation was very difficult, because she claimed that this was not her daughter. "That's not the way she talks, that's not the way she acts," said the woman.

The case dates back to May 31, 2014. According to police reports, Geyser and Anissa Weier had Leutner arrive at a park in Waukesha, where she was stabbed 19 times, People reports. Police say the young women, Geyser and Weier stated that the attack was made to please a fictional horror character named "Slenderman"; that way they would protect their families. Apparently Geyser stabbed her while Weier urged her to do so. The incredible thing about the case is that Leutner survived. She came to a bike path where a person helped her by calling 911. The three girls were 12 at the time, People details.

Geyser and Weier pleaded guilty to the attack in August and October of last year. Weier was found not criminally responsible after a jury found that she was mentally ill at the time. You have to go to an institution for 25 years. For her part, Geyser, who her family says has schizophrenia, is said to be hospitalized for up to 40 years.
