A decision DHS has already made. However, a judge ordered DHS’s response to be sealed, meaning the department’s recommendation on where Geyser should be held remains unclear.
Earlier this week, her attorney, Tony Cotton, requested that a judge release her from jail to return to the mental health facility, where she had been held for more than a decade.
