On Mother’s day 2021, Florida police found the dead body of a 13-years-old Tristyn Bailey, who was brutally stabbed more than hundred times all over her body.
The next morning the Sheriff’s office arrested Bailey’s classmate Aiden Fucci in suspect of her murder. And the grim details of his heinous crime that was revealed after his arrest left the whole state in shock.
Who is Aiden Fucci?
On May 9th 2021, authorities in Florida arrested 14-years-old Aiden Fucci as a suspect in Tristyn Bailey’s case. And he was soon charged with the first-degree murder by the St John County Courthouse.
Aiden Fucci is the only suspect in his classmate’s murder case.
Previously, he was held at the Department of Juvenile Justice in Daytona Beach. However, on May 27 a grand jury secretly met and decided to convict him as an adult with first-degree murder. Since then Aiden Fucci’s case has been carefully investigated by police and Aiden Fucci updates have been the highlights of news reports.
Aiden Fucci Case: First-degree Murderer:
The Florida police found her blood-smeared body in a wooded area near her house after a 16 hours search. Bailey was found stabbed to death. And when the reports came everyone was shocked.
According to the autopsy reports, Bailey was stabbed 114 times. She had thirty-five wounds on her head and neck while others were to her torso, chest, back and upper extremities, the report states.
It was also proved that 49 of her wounds were defensive which means she fought for her life. Florida State Attorney R.J. Larizza said, it “would be an understatement” to define this murder as merely “horrific.”
She also claimed that Tristyn was “stabbed so viciously that the buck knife blade broke and stuck in her scalp.”
For such heinous act Fucci was charged with first-degree murder that moved the case from Juvenile justice to adult court.

In August, police found a video that clearly shows Fucci walking with Tristyn on the night she was killed. According to the Daily Mail, the video evidence walking towards the wooded area with Tristyn at the same night was discovered from Fucci’s neighbor’s surveillance camera.
The video also exposed that Fucci was running back alone in the opposite direction after supposedly killing Tristyn.
Another footage that was taken from Fucci’s house shows him later the same night coming back home. He was panting and he had his sneakers in hand.

On 5th June, 2021, Crystal Smith, Aiden Fucci’s mother was arrested for tampering with evidence.

At the time when police were investigating Fucci, his mother ran to wash off his bloody jeans which were later revealed by the CCTV footage. She washed his jeans and left them on his bed to dry.
After the video was released authorities ran a test on the drain and Fucci’s jeans and it tested positive. That means there were some samples found on the pants and sink as well. And she was then arrested for tampering with the evidence.
Fucci’s father also had a previous record of being involved in many police cases including child abuse.
