1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,960
One. Two. One, two.
2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Hey! Go, Greenside!
3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,960
Tristyn was a cheerleader.
4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,960
She would often post her
in her cheerleading outfit.
5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,000
She looked like your perfect,
all-American young girl.
6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,960
Happy and truly glowing.
7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,960
Tristyn was very energetic,
8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,960
and she was very inclusive
to everyone on the team.
9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,320
She was just the most caring person
I've ever met.
10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,480
She was a typical teenager.
11
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:39,960
She was very active on TikTok.
12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Tristyn was obsessed with TikTok.
13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,960
She wanted everyone
to see the best version of herself.
14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,800
TRISTYN'S MOTHER, STACY:
15
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,640
SHE SOBS
16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,960
It's an indescribable
feeling when...
17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,960
your child is missing.
18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,960
There is nothing you can do.
19
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,960
Pure panic.
20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,960
Pure panic.
21
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,960
13-year-old
Tristyn Bailey was reported missing
22
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:25,960
around ten Sunday morning.
23
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,160
The family saw her
at approximately midnight.
24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,960
There are shocking details
coming out about this case...
25
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,960
Really horrific, brutal murder.
26
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,960
'TikTok's role in Tristyn's case
really was huge.
27
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,960
'So many people wanting
to help to get justice.'
28
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,960
Everybody was speculating,
people were commenting.
29
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,960
The motive, the why,
and most importantly, the who.
30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,960
This is the 14-year-old suspect.
31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960
The victim was only 13 years old.
32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,640
This is horrifying to me.
She was 13 years old.
33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960
It felt like
the world needed to know her story,
34
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:00,960
they needed to hear her voice.
35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,960
People talk about this,
and they wonder...
36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,320
how could something like that
happen?
37
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,960
My name is Stacy Bailey,
and I am Tristyn Bailey's mom.
38
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,960
Forrest Bailey is my husband.
39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,640
And we have been together
since college.
40
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,960
We have five children
together.
41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,960
In addition to Tristyn,
42
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,960
we have Sophia, Alexis,
Britney and Teegan.
43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,800
I always told our kids
that the best thing that,
44
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,960
you know, they were ever given
is a sibling.
45
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480
It's just
a very, very unique relationship.
46
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,960
The night before Mother's Day,
47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,960
Tristyn and Sophia decided that they
were going to make breakfast for me.
48
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,960
And I had very strict instructions
49
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,960
to not leave my room
until breakfast was done.
50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,960
It must have been, like,
around 9:30,
51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,960
and I was like,
"I cannot sit in my room any more."
52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,960
So I came out, and it was just
Sophia making breakfast.
53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Stacy asked Teegan,
who was downstairs,
54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960
to go and get a hold of Tristyn
so that she could help out,
55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,960
as had been the plan.
56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,960
So he went upstairs.
57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,320
He came down a few minutes later,
he said he couldn't find her.
58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Nothing about it made sense.
59
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Tristyn loved Stacy so dearly that
knowing that it was Mother's Day,
60
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960
it was an immediate sense of
"something is really wrong".
61
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
She was a really good girl.
62
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,960
She had good grades,
she had good friends.
63
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,000
So it was very out of character
for her to just disappear.
64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,960
I'm Britney Bailey Russell,
and I'm the oldest sibling.
65
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,960
I got a call from Alexis, my sister.
66
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960
"We can't find Tristyn.
67
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,960
"She's not in her room.
Like, I think she snuck out."
68
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960
13-year-old
Tristyn Bailey was reported missing
69
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,960
around ten Sunday morning.
70
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,960
The family last saw her
at approximately midnight.
71
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,320
I am Robert A Hardwick.
72
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
At the time of this investigation,
73
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
I was the elected sheriff
of St Johns County.
74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
We put the alerts
out to the neighbourhood,
75
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,960
looking for Tristyn
via social media, media,
76
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,960
any other type of platforms
we can put it out,
77
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,960
and it gives a basic overview.
78
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960
When they were last seen.
Who, what, when, where?
79
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,960
It was to advise the community
that we could use your assistance
80
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
because possibly,
she was in someone's house,
81
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,480
we were hoping, just watching TV
with another child.
82
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Hey, guys. All right,
so, I've got brand-new updates
83
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
for you in the Tristyn Bailey case.
84
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,960
My name is Annie Elise,
85
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,960
and I am a true crime TikToker
who reaches 870,000 users.
86
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,960
When I first heard about
Tristyn Bailey's case,
87
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,960
I knew that I wanted to spread
awareness as fast as possible.
88
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,800
A 13-year-old girl was missing.
89
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,960
I knew something wasn't right.
90
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960
There wasn't usually a lot of crime
that happens in that area.
91
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,960
It was a nice neighbourhood.
92
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960
It felt, like, close to home,
in a way,
93
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960
because we all can
identify ourselves
94
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960
in Tristyn or somebody we know.
95
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,000
She was so relatable.
96
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Five days to my birthday.
97
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Four days to my birthday.
98
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Three days to my birthday.
99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,960
'Her case took social media
by storm.'
100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,960
13-year-old Tristyn Bailey...
101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
St Johns County in Florida.
She was a cheerleader.
102
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Everybody was worried
about where she might be,
103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800
but nobody had any definitive
answers in the beginning.
104
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,960
You have to triage
every tip that comes in,
105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,960
whether it's a social media platform
or whether it's a phone call,
106
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,960
and that's exactly
what our team was doing.
107
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Through Tristyn's TikToks,
108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640
you could tell that she was
extremely close with her family.
109
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,960
From the get-go, she always
wanted to be the front and centre.
110
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,960
And actually, Britney and her
have the same kind of personality.
111
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960
They always fought for who
was gonna get the most attention.
112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,960
She would practise and learn
a routine that she saw on TikTok
113
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,320
and come to me and say,
"Let's do this one together."
114
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,960
She was always fun
and full of life.
115
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,960
I remember Tristyn wanted to join
the Allstar cheer team.
116
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,960
The Allstar gym
is very competitive.
117
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Tristyn's determination
to get on that team was insane.
118
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,960
She had to get her splits,
or a back walkover, or something,
119
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960
and she put her mind to it
and accomplished it.
120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,960
I was so proud of her
for putting in the effort
121
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960
and her being so excited
and so happy.
122
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,960
We had police officers
that were at the house.
123
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,960
We had police dogs trying to get
scents of Tristyn to search for her.
124
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,960
People that had planned
to celebrate Mother's Day
125
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,960
showed up to begin searching.
126
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,960
We had a tremendous outpouring
of support.
127
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
We're less than 24 hours
into this entire case.
128
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Our investigative team is
interviewing all kinds of witnesses.
129
00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,960
My name is Kurt Hannon.
130
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,960
I was assigned as the case agent,
131
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,960
which is the primary person
that's in charge.
132
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,320
The biggest keys for us
in this kind of investigations
133
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960
are who did
Tristyn last have contact with?
134
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,800
At some point that night,
135
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,960
her sister had seen her
on Facetime with someone,
136
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640
and she knew it was a boy.
137
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,000
And we kept getting
more information
138
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,960
that Tristyn
was at his house that night.
139
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
He was the first suspect
in this case.
140
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,960
I knew of him.
141
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,800
I think he was kind of involved
in the wrong crowd.
142
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,960
I think Tristyn liked him.
143
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640
I didn't really like
that she liked him,
144
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,960
but it wasn't really
my decision to make.
145
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,960
I think Tristyn snuck out
that night
146
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,960
so she could see
the teenage boy that she liked.
147
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,960
My name is Jennifer Dunton.
148
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480
I'm an Assistant State Attorney
here on the Seventh Circuit.
149
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,960
And my role in this case
was lead prosecutor.
150
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
Deputies go to this boy's house
and start questioning him
151
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,960
about whether he had seen Tristyn.
152
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,000
He wasn't supposed to have friends
over, but he had friends over.
153
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800
He told law enforcement Tristyn
came over shortly after midnight.
154
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,960
They told us
they had another friend over.
155
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,960
The other friend's name
is Aiden Fucci.
156
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,960
I don't think Tristyn and Aiden
Fucci knew each other very well.
157
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,960
They definitely had minor
conversation, but not very many.
158
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,960
He told law enforcement
159
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960
that Aiden and Tristyn had hung out
a little bit at the house,
160
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,960
outside for a while.
161
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,960
He said he woke up the next morning
assuming all was OK.
162
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,960
He saw the missing child alerts
for Tristyn,
163
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,960
reached out to Aiden,
164
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,960
cos he knew that he had left his
house with her the night before.
165
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,960
And Aiden said he walked her home
166
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,800
and denied knowing
anything was wrong.
167
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Because her friend had introduced
Aiden Fucci's name,
168
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,960
he became another suspect.
169
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,960
Tristyn Bailey, just 13 years old,
170
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,960
her parents reported her missing.
171
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,160
Hours go by.
172
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,960
Everything is just saturated
173
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,960
with people looking for
this little girl.
174
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,960
And nothing is producing
positive results.
175
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Everyone is searching everywhere
for 13-year-old Tristyn.
176
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,160
Make sure that wherever you go,
177
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,640
at least one person knows
where you are at all times.
178
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Please be safe, and let's pray
for Tristyn and her family, please.
179
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,960
We're gonna go make contact
with Aiden at his house.
180
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,960
Aiden came out, his mom came out.
181
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480
He admitted that
he had been at his friend's house
182
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,960
the night before, seeing Tristyn.
183
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,960
Aiden Fucci said
what happened that night.
184
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,960
They were walking back...
185
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960
..and they parted ways,
186
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960
Tristyn going to her home,
he going back to his.
187
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,960
He showed up at home
between 1:30, 1:45 at the worst.
188
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,960
His mom actually interjected
and volunteered that,
189
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,960
you know, "You got home
after three in the morning."
190
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,960
She knew, she had seen
her surveillance cameras.
191
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,960
I'm Vic Micolucci.
192
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,960
I was a local news anchor
and investigative reporter
193
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,960
for 14 years in this area.
194
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,960
This is a really quiet
residential neighbourhood.
195
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Lots of homes
that are close together.
196
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,960
A typical person
would be able to walk
197
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,960
this relatively short distance
in 20, 25 minutes.
198
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160
He was gone for about two hours.
199
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,960
And that was really suspicious.
200
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,960
Deputies started questioning him.
"Why the delay?"
201
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,960
He made some comments about
how he was just walking around.
202
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
His timeline
wasn't making any sense,
203
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,160
and so we asked Aiden
where he and Tristyn went,
204
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,960
to try to retrace the steps.
205
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,480
Deputies asked him to point out
206
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960
where he broke off with Tristyn
and she went home.
207
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,960
And as he's telling that story,
208
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,640
he suddenly volunteers, "Well, she
didn't actually turn on her street.
209
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:00,960
"We kept walking."
210
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,960
He indicates that there was an
intersection that they stopped near.
211
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,800
He said he pushed her down,
where she had hit her head.
212
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,960
And he just walked away
213
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,320
cos he was so mad that
she had touched him in that manner.
214
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,320
Deputies look around
at that intersection in the area
215
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,320
where he says she fell down,
hit her head and was hurt.
216
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,960
There's no blood.
It just doesn't make any sense.
217
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Things are not adding up.
218
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,960
We were hanging on
to both the friend and Aiden
219
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,640
cos we weren't quite sure
what their involvement was yet.
220
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,960
In Florida, we can detain a suspect
221
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160
until law enforcement
can quell their suspicions.
222
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160
So, we put them both
in the back of a police car.
223
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,960
They still have access
to their phones.
224
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
They're detained,
they're not free to leave,
225
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,960
but we're not taking
anything away from them.
226
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Aiden, he decided to make
some Snapchat videos,
227
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,960
making a big joke of it.
228
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,960
This clip started going viral
because of Aiden's behaviour.
229
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,960
He decides to post,
joking about in a cop car.
230
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,960
He's sick.
231
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,480
He was more concerned
with bragging on social media
232
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,960
that he was being questioned
by the police.
233
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,960
He makes my blood boil.
234
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Mocking the situation.
235
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,960
There was absolutely
a very strange disconnect,
236
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,960
and you could see that
237
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
this kid was not living
in the same universe that we are.
238
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Aiden posts something to Snapchat
with the banner of...
239
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,640
All the kids in school,
they all see that,
240
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,960
begin to suspect that
Aiden had something to do with it.
241
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
They start, you know, resending
that post out to everybody else.
242
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,000
On TikTok, it spread like wildfire.
243
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,320
This just shows how little he cares
about the entire situation.
244
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,960
This is a piece of garbage
that we're dealing with.
245
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,960
You're sick.
246
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,960
A friend of his who he just been
with the night earlier was missing.
247
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,640
He had no sort of sympathy,
not at all.
248
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,960
These young kids
will do anything to go viral.
249
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,960
They will do anything.
250
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,960
He makes the comment along the lines
of, "Hey, Tristyn, if you see this,"
251
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,960
you know, "feel free to walk out
of the..." and then he stops there.
252
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
He stopped himself short
of saying "the woods".
253
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,960
It was pretty... It was...
254
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,960
I'm still in disbelief of it.
255
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Like, how can you be so callous?
256
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,160
That showed us that
he's communicating about Tristyn
257
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,960
and her whereabouts...
258
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,960
..and that was really suspicious.
259
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,960
RINGING TONE
260
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,960
A gentleman that lived in the area
had gone out for a run.
261
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960
He finished his run, and he went
to go check behind the woods.
262
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,960
He saw that there was a person
that appeared to be dead.
263
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
SIRENS WAIL
264
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960
We sent people over immediately.
265
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Based on the description we had,
266
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,960
our detective team immediately made
a tentative ID
267
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,960
of Tristyn Bailey's body.
268
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,960
It was obvious
that she was deceased,
269
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,960
and it was obvious
that there was trauma to her body,
270
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,960
that she had not died naturally.
271
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960
There were visible stab wounds.
272
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,960
My team made the instantaneous,
you know, determination
273
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,960
that we were now working
a brutal, horrific murder.
274
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,960
I got a text from my sergeant asking
me to come to the Baileys' address.
275
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,960
The worst part of my job
is doing a death notification
276
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,960
to the parents of a child.
277
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,960
A whole bunch of police
showed up, and they...
278
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,960
They asked me to...
279
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,960
..to go inside with them.
280
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,960
And I kept saying no...
281
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960
..cos I knew.
282
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,960
I knew at that...
I knew at that moment.
283
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960
We went into a bedroom,
284
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,960
and that's when Kurt Hannon told us
that they had found her.
285
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,960
They were able to kind of confirm
that they'd done an identification.
286
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,960
It was Tristyn.
287
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,640
She was no longer alive.
288
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Upon learning that Tristyn was dead
and wasn't coming back,
289
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,960
things were just an absolute blur.
290
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,960
Stacy was feeling guilty,
291
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,960
thinking about how
she is the parent,
292
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,960
and she didn't know
Tristyn was gone.
293
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,960
My point with Stacy was,
294
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,960
"Hey, do you remember
when you were a teenager?"
295
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,960
All the things that we do
as teenagers
296
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,960
that aren't necessarily very smart
or very safe,
297
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,960
but you don't deserve to die for.
298
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,960
St Johns County
Sheriff's Department says
299
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,960
the search for a missing Florida
teenager has been called off.
300
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,960
We have located a body
301
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,640
that is preliminary identified
as Tristyn Bailey.
302
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,960
Once Tristyn's body was discovered,
everybody wanted to post about it.
303
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,960
Please pray for her and her family.
304
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,960
It breaks my heart, it really does,
especially for Tristyn's family.
305
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,800
You have the loss of a life.
306
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,960
There is no way
to pay back that family
307
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,960
for what has happened to them.
308
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,960
Heart-wrenching
new details on the murder
309
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,960
of St Johns County teenager
Tristyn Bailey.
310
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,320
According to
the autopsy report,
311
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,960
she was stabbed 114 times
as she fought for her life.
312
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Let that sink in for a minute.
313
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,960
That's 114 times
that this poor girl was stabbed.
314
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,160
That number, in itself,
is just astronomical
315
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,960
and really hard to comprehend.
316
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,960
How do you tell somebody that their
daughter was stabbed 114 times?
317
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,640
Like, that...
I had no idea how to do that.
318
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,960
The detective, they shared to us
319
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
how she died...
320
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
and then how many stab...
321
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,800
..how many stab wounds.
322
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,960
And I think the whole family...
323
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,480
..couldn't process how...
324
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
..somebody could do that
to somebody else.
325
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960
It was a complete loss
to the family.
326
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,480
It was very, very difficult
to take in.
327
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,960
She had a large number
of defensive wounds,
328
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,960
meaning that she had fought back,
and fought back hard.
329
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,320
Tristyn fought for
the things that were important,
330
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,160
and she fought hard for her life.
331
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Once the details came out that
Tristyn had been brutally murdered,
332
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,000
people are panicking.
333
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,960
People are really, really scared.
334
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960
It's affecting all the children,
it really is.
335
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,640
I did not want to...
336
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,960
be, sorry,
be around my friends or anybody
337
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,960
because hearing it
come out of someone else's mouth
338
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,000
made it real for me.
339
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,960
The pressure was on
for law enforcement.
340
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,960
Find what happened
and secure that community.
341
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,480
They promised me that day
342
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,960
that they would
get to the bottom of this.
343
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,960
At this point in the investigation,
344
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,000
law enforcement really wants
to question both boys,
345
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,480
Aiden and his friend, more fully.
346
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,640
We brought them to our station,
347
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960
and we put them
in two different interview rooms.
348
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,960
During police interviews,
349
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,960
Aiden Fucci chooses
not to speak any further.
350
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,960
Aiden's friend continued
to cooperate with law enforcement.
351
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,960
And we were able to rule him out
as a suspect in this case.
352
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,960
He began to reveal
353
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,800
a more disturbing side of Aiden...
354
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,960
his personality.
355
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,960
He later told us that Aiden
sought out the real video clips
356
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,960
of violence online, beheadings...
357
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,960
real killings, not anime,
not video games.
358
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,960
His friend thought
it was disturbing,
359
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,960
but it's their friend,
360
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,960
and they didn't really think
he would ever act on it.
361
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Everybody was wondering
why nobody said anything
362
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,480
to the police at the time.
363
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Oh, my God, if these kids
364
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,960
or anybody would have spoken up
or told somebody,
365
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,960
like, this little girl
could have possibly been saved.
366
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,960
Aiden had a bad reputation.
367
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,000
His friends told us
he had anger issues.
368
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,640
I noticed Aiden
would get into physical fights
369
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,960
with other people,
370
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,960
students or just people we all knew
in the area,
371
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,320
and then he would get into
verbal fights with teachers
372
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,960
because he did not like anybody
having authority or power over him.
373
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
I think he was the type of teenager
374
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
that would make parents
very concerned.
375
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960
We identified another friend...
376
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,000
and they provided
a lot of information.
377
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960
They'd identified
that Aiden loved knives,
378
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,960
and there were two in particular
that he always carried.
379
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000
This is what had happened
to Tristyn Bailey.
380
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Aiden had talked about
wanting to kill somebody.
381
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Saying that he was going to
drag someone into the woods.
382
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,160
He kept telling people
he wanted to kill a person..
383
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,960
But everyone stated
nobody took these things seriously.
384
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960
To me, the red flags
in the Tristyn Bailey case
385
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,960
came directly
from Aiden Fucci himself.
386
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,960
He said that he was going to
stab somebody to death,
387
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,960
he was going to drag them
into the woods.
388
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,000
Why didn't they say anything?
389
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Why didn't they tell a teacher,
a parent, a law enforcement?
390
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,960
Had anybody that heard some of
the things he was talking about,
391
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,960
had they felt that
there was somebody
392
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,960
that they could have reached out to,
393
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,160
and say, "I think there's
something seriously wrong here,"
394
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
maybe it would have
changed the direction.
395
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,960
A lot of us looking at this case
were quite upset.
396
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,960
These kids spent their whole lives
chatting to each other online,
397
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,960
but when it came to
that really crucial information
398
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
about Aiden Fucci's dark fantasies,
399
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,960
if only they'd spoken out,
400
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,800
maybe Tristyn would still be alive
here today.
401
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,960
Aiden is now
in an interrogation room.
402
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,960
The cameras are on,
403
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,800
and they are rolling,
like they always are in Florida.
404
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,960
He asked for his parents.
405
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Information that we overhead
later became important in the case.
406
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,160
With his comment,
"How is that my problem?"
407
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,960
It's just that lack of remorse,
408
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,960
the lack of empathy,
the lack of caring,
409
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,800
the lack of any kind of
human emotion that...
410
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,640
it's indescribable.
411
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,960
His parents asked
what happened that night,
412
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,000
and he shares the same story
that he gave earlier.
413
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,960
As the conversation goes on
between Aiden and his parents,
414
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,960
we start noticing a little bit
of manipulation by his mom.
415
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,960
It's a bizarre exchange.
416
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,960
The significance of this only
emerged later in the investigation.
417
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,960
We begin the execution of the search
warrant at the house where he lived,
418
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,960
and we were looking for
specific pieces of evidence
419
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
that might lead us
to be able to figure out
420
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,960
what happened with this case.
421
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Things we include in the warrant
are things that include blood.
422
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Crime scene technicians
locate several things of interest.
423
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,160
In Aiden's bedroom...
424
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960
..there was a white shirt
425
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,960
that appeared
to have blood stains on it.
426
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,960
We tested on site,
it's a presumptive positive test.
427
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:03,000
They find these wet jeans.
428
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,960
They run some tests on them,
429
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,960
and they determine that
that is in fact blood on the jeans.
430
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,960
During the course of this search,
we find white Nike shoes.
431
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,960
Blood was present
on all of these items.
432
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,960
That evidence is sent off
here in the State of Florida
433
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,960
to the Florida Department
of Law Enforcement Biology Lab.
434
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,960
We put a rush on it.
435
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,800
They were able to find
Tristyn Bailey's DNA profile
436
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,960
on Aiden's shoes.
437
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,960
In addition to that,
in his bathroom,
438
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,960
the sink, the pipes
and the drains are tested,
439
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,960
and those were testing positive
for blood.
440
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,960
They took those swabs
to the sheriff's office.
441
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,480
It's blood that belongs to Tristyn.
442
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,960
I went to the vigil with my mom.
443
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,480
And all my friends from school
were there,
444
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,960
and all my friends from cheer
were there.
445
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,960
We had to really....
INHALES SHAKILY
446
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,160
..really think about
the fact that she's gone.
447
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,000
I was amazed by
the amount of people that were there
448
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,960
and the amount of people that,
you know, used their time to go.
449
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,960
I still feel so grateful
450
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,640
that I have people surrounding me
that are like that.
451
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,640
We didn't know the exact story
of what happened,
452
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,960
so it was really confusing
and really hard for us all.
453
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Video surveillance
played a huge part in this case.
454
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,960
We are very grateful
that in this neighbourhood,
455
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,960
almost every door had a Ring camera.
456
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,960
When we start
putting everything together,
457
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,960
we see Aiden's stories
weren't consistent.
458
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,960
Aiden and Tristyn
were at the friend's house.
459
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,960
The friend said, "Hey,
it's time for you guys to leave."
460
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960
and Aiden and Tristyn left
at about 1:10 in the morning.
461
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,960
And they started walking.
462
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,320
Surveillance footage
from neighbours' cameras
463
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,960
show her walking with Aiden Fucci
overnight from Saturday into Sunday.
464
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,320
We were able to obtain video footage
from the amenity centre.
465
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,960
They walked along the main road...
466
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,160
..so walking north.
467
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,960
They passed by the road
that leads to his house.
468
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,960
They kept on walking.
469
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,960
And what we found was the two
figures, clearly Tristyn and Aiden,
470
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,160
walking towards
the area of the woods -
471
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,960
ultimately where Tristyn was found.
472
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,960
Her final resting place.
473
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Several hours later, Aiden Fucci,
or this male figure,
474
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,640
running now
in the opposite direction,
475
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,960
when he appeared to be carrying
shoes in his hand.
476
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,960
And so, that's clearly different
than his story
477
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,960
of just casually wandering
around the neighbourhood.
478
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,640
It was obvious in this video
that there's only one subject,
479
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,960
and it did not appear
that Tristyn was with him.
480
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,960
The time difference between when
he was last observed walking east
481
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,320
with Tristyn,
and then running back west away
482
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,960
was about an hour and 45 minutes.
483
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,960
So we now knew,
484
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,960
after we've, you know,
located Tristyn
485
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:06,960
and building this case
486
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,960
and finding out all the details
we could find out,
487
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,960
during this timeframe
is when Aiden murdered Tristyn.
488
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,160
We actually have arrested a suspect
by the name of Aiden Fucci,
489
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,960
a 14-year-old.
490
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,800
He's currently in custody
charged with murder.
491
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,960
Hearing of a 14-year-old boy
committing
492
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,960
such a horrible, heinous murder
on a 13-year-old girl, it was scary.
493
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,480
I feel like every case with a child
is horrific.
494
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,960
The victim was only 13 years old.
495
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,960
This is the 14-year-old suspect.
496
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,320
I just can't comprehend being 14
wanting to kill someone.
497
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,640
After we learned
that the sheriff's office
498
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,960
had arrested the person responsible,
499
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,960
it allowed us to realise
that that threat was gone.
500
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,960
But yet, deep down,
you're trying to understand...
501
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,960
why.
502
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,960
During the course of the search
at Aiden's house,
503
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,480
we found a Buck brand knife sheath
that was empty and had no knife.
504
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,960
So we still have this murder weapon
that we're missing,
505
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,960
and that's obviously
a key part of the investigation.
506
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,480
Here we have video as detectives
507
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000
with the St Johns County
Sheriff's Office found it.
508
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,960
They pulled it out in a pond...
509
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,160
One of our divers located
a Buck brand folding knife.
510
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,320
That knife was tested, and it
indicated a presumptive positive
511
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,800
for the presence of blood.
512
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,960
They take it to their offices,
513
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,480
and they find
that it matches the sheath
514
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,640
that was discovered
in Fucci's bedroom.
515
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,960
The knife was sent off to forensics,
and it was tested for DNA,
516
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,960
and we were able to obtain DNA
from Tristyn on both the handle
517
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
and on the blade of the knife.
518
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:00,960
We now have the murder weapon.
519
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,960
Our digital forensic examiners
are poring through
520
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:17,320
the interior and exterior footage
from Aiden Fucci's residence.
521
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,160
That morning, after deputies
first made contact with Aiden
522
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,960
and his family,
Crystal goes back inside.
523
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,960
Aiden is off with the deputies.
524
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,960
She goes right upstairs.
525
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,960
She is seen taking Aiden's jeans
from a laundry basket.
526
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,960
She takes them to the sink...
527
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,960
..and she's feverishly washing
whatever is on them.
528
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,000
It kind of explained
the very damp nature of the jeans.
529
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,960
It was clear to us
that she was trying to get rid
530
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,960
of whatever evidence she saw
on those jeans.
531
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,960
It offers that explanation
as to why Crystal Smith is saying
532
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,960
to her son,
and getting him to agree,
533
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,960
that he was wearing khakis
when this happened.
534
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,960
I can only imagine that
she wanted to protect her child.
535
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,320
But at what cost?
536
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,960
It was at the cost of my child.
537
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,960
Which just begs the question,
538
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,960
how far would you be willing to go
to help your child?
539
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,960
I would never help my son
cover up a heinous crime.
540
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,960
This is insane.
541
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
She was charged
with tampering with evidence.
542
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,960
Now son AND mother
are going to court.
543
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,320
Aiden Fucci,
544
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,960
the 14-year-old charged
with first-degree murder
545
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,960
in the killing of a 13-year-old
neighbour and schoolmate
546
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,960
is now in the juvenile wing
of the Duval County Jail.
547
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,960
Debate was raging about what should
happen when a child kills a child.
548
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,960
Do you think
549
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
that he should still
not serve life in prison?
550
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,960
There's a petition going
to get him tried as an adult,
551
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,960
which I will link in the comments.
552
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,960
They've a week to decide if they're
gonna charge him as an adult,
553
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,960
so we would find out
some time next week.
554
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,640
The state attorney's office
received calls
555
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,960
from around the country
and from around the world,
556
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:33,160
with social media demanding that
we charge Aiden Fucci as an adult.
557
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,480
If Aiden Fucci had been tried
as a juvenile
558
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,800
here in the State of Florida,
what that would have meant was,
559
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,960
he being 14 years old,
560
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,960
the maximum he would have gotten
was seven years,
561
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,960
which would have put him at 21.
562
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,960
Anybody can look at this case and
know that that is not appropriate.
563
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,960
We looked at the facts,
564
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,960
we looked at the law,
and I gotta tell you,
565
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:02,960
the adult system
is where this case belongs.
566
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,960
They did charge 14-year-old
Aiden Fucci as an adult
567
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960
and with first-degree
premeditated charges.
568
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,000
The only thing that really remains
is when it comes to sentencing...
569
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,960
They cannot do the death penalty
because of his age,
570
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,160
but that still does carry
a maximum of life sentence.
571
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,960
That change was very impactful.
572
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,960
We knew
that the state attorney's office
573
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,960
was really focused
on getting justice.
574
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,960
In all cases,
we have pre-trial hearings
575
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,640
to advise the judge
of the status of the case.
576
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,640
It was Aiden Fucci's
very first pre-trial,
577
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,960
it was his
very first court appearance.
578
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,960
Um, he was on Zoom.
579
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,960
He was acting very bizarrely
on camera,
580
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,960
kind of acting like
he didn't know where he was,
581
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,960
saying things about demons.
582
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,960
He was trying to prove a point
that maybe he wasn't all there,
583
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,960
and maybe it was something
he could use as a defence.
584
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,640
He was on the Zoom,
585
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,960
and we heard him saying
some pretty interesting statements
586
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,160
that have me questioning
what's his motive here.
587
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960
His behaviour
is so incredibly different
588
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960
from the videos that we saw
in the back of the police car.
589
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,960
With that video, in my opinion,
I think it's full of crap.
590
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,960
I called the detectives and said,
591
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,960
"You need to pull his jail calls,
592
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:26,960
"before court and after court,
593
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,960
"and let's compare them
to how he acted in court."
594
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,960
Our attorney's office
realised very quickly
595
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,960
he had extremely coherent
conversations with his mother
596
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,960
before and after his appearance.
597
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,800
The calls were ultimately
turned over to the psychologist,
598
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,960
and that was fake, and ironically,
it never happened again.
599
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,960
We came to the courthouse ready
for jury selection on Monday...
600
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,960
..and we found out that morning
that he was not gonna go to trial.
601
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,800
Entering a guilty plea as charged.
602
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,960
He was going to enter
a plea of guilty.
603
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,960
It's a really big deal
to enter a plea of guilty.
604
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,960
I think the defence is going to have
a very hard time
605
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,640
expressing remorse
with their client.
606
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,960
It was clear how overwhelming
the evidence was,
607
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,960
and that by accepting guilt,
it was the first step
608
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,960
in potentially having
a reduced sentence.
609
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,960
The victim impact statement
allows the Bailey family
610
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,640
to tell the court
how the crime impacted them.
611
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,960
My daughter fought for her life,
612
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,000
and we were going to fight
alongside her for her justice.
613
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,960
Aiden Fucci made a heinous
decision on May 9th, 2021,
614
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,960
and took the very life
that I brought into this world.
615
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,960
Stacy Bailey's
was extremely emotional.
616
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,960
This jar now holds 114 stones,
617
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,960
one for each of the 114 stab wounds
that my sister had to endure.
618
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,960
My daughter Alexis
did an amazing job.
619
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,960
The victim impact statements
from Tristyn's friends and family
620
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,800
were so heartfelt.
621
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,320
The only outcome here
is for him to pay
622
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,960
with his own freedom because
he took the freedom of Tristyn.
623
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,960
I cannot wait
for Tristyn to get justice.
624
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,960
This crime,
it was committed in a cold,
625
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,800
calculated and premeditated manner,
626
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,800
and it was heinous,
atrocious and cruel.
627
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,960
He just wanted to kill somebody
for the sake of killing somebody.
628
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,960
Complete and total disregard
for human life.
629
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,320
Mr Fucci, I adjudicate you
630
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,960
guilty of the premeditated
first-degree murder
631
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:16,960
of Tristyn Bailey.
632
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,000
I sentence you to life in prison.
633
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,320
When that information was released,
it went absolutely viral.
634
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,960
He was sentenced to life in prison.
635
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,960
I hate this kid.
636
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,960
He deserves to rot
and deserves to be punished.
637
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:36,000
I am so, so, so happy
with Aiden Fucci's sentencing.
638
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,960
You know what you did,
and now you've got hell to pay.
639
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,800
Was it enough?
640
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,000
I mean... I...
641
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,640
Nothing brings her back.
642
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,960
So as much as it is great
that he's put away
643
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,960
and won't be able to do this
to anybody else,
644
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,960
it doesn't bring our sister back.
645
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:02,960
Crystal Smith was charged
with tampering with evidence.
646
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,960
She pleaded guilty to that charge.
647
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,960
She was sentenced to 30 days in jail
and community service.
648
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,960
Tristyn is remembered
exactly how she left this world -
649
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,960
bubbly, happy, loving, warm.
650
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,960
On TikTok,
many people still talk about it,
651
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,960
and we all know that Tristyn's case
will never be forgotten.
652
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,960
One of the things we wanted to do
653
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,960
was start a foundation
and give back,
654
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:47,000
and that foundation starts with
the spirit that Tristyn had.
655
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,960
We've been able to work
with a phenomenal programme
656
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,960
that teaches young ladies and women
about situational awareness,
657
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:05,000
so how you avoid even
getting into a situation
658
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,960
where something negative
could happen,
659
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,960
and then also
self-defence techniques.
660
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,960
Also, we want to encourage
more conversations,
661
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,960
open up an avenue
that should a child ever feel like
662
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,640
they're being preyed on
or being put in a bad situation,
663
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,960
that they understand they can
go to a trusted adult and share.
664
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,800
"Here's what's happening."
How can they get some help?
665
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,160
I will never forgot how appreciative
she was for anything.
666
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,480
The first thing
she would always say to me is,
667
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,960
"Thank you, Mom,
for spending the weekend with me,"
668
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,960
or "taking me shopping"
or just "spending time with me".
669
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,960
You wanted to be with her,
next to her, like her.
670
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:01,960
I wish everyone could have met her.
671
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:07,960
There's...
672
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,960
There's not a way
to describe the laugh.
673
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,320
There's not a way
to describe the smile.
674
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,480
I-I'll...
675
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,160
cherish those memories forever.
676
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,960
Tristyn's strong!
677
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000
