This video posted by Inside Edition shares details into the murder case of 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey. The teen went missing on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2021, and was last seen on video surveillance footage as she walked with her 14-year-old classmate Aiden Fucci.
It was soon discovered that Fucci had murdered his peer in cold blood, stabbing her 114 times.
Fucci pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Inside Edition shares video footage from Fucci’s sentencing hearing, where, in a powerful statement, Bailey’s sister is seen dropping 114 heart-shaped stones into a glass jar in front of the court, a haunting physical representation of how many times her little sister was stabbed by the teenager.
According to the news outlet, when Fucci was picked up for questioning after Bailey’s disappearance, he posted a disturbing photo to his social media of himself in the back of a police car giving the V-sign with the disturbing caption, “Hey guys has anybody seen Tristyn lately.”
The teen also posted a video on Snapchat showing footage of himself in the back of a police vehicle. In the footage from Fucci’s interrogation, his parents can be seen scolding him for his strange behavior.

Bailey’s body was discovered in a secluded wooded area in Durbin Crossing, a community in Jacksonville, Florida.
At Fucci's sentencing hearing, each of Bailey’s siblings and her parents dropped stones into the glass jar as they spoke of their beloved daughter and sister whom Fucci brutally murdered. Fucci was sentenced to the maximum penalty available, 40 years to life with the possibility of a lighter sentence after 25 years served.
