Newly released video show a Florida teen walking alone with her suspected murderer on the night she was stabbed 114 times, resulting in her death.
Prosecutors claimed Tristyn Bailey, a 13-year-old cheerleader, is seen in the video walking alongside 14-year-old Aiden Fucci, the minor suspected of murdering her May 9, according to WTLV-TV. Just over an hour after the pair is allegedly seen walking through the Durbin Crossing neighborhood in St. Johns County, the same surveillance camera picks up a figure, believed to be Fucci, running in the opposite direction.

Authorities claim that Fucci was running from the wooded area where he stabbed Bailey to death, WTLV-TV reported. The tip of the knife used to stab Bailey 114 times reportedly broke off in the teenager’s skull, and authorities later found the weapon that was discarded in a nearby pond, according to Fox News.
Previously, prosecutors released video footage of Fucci’s mother, 35-year-old Crystal Smith, allegedly washing blood out of the teenager’s jeans, WTLV-TV reported. Smith was charged with evidence tampering in June after she turned herself in, according to Fox News.

Fucci can be heard saying “We’re having fun, in a f****** cop car,” in snapchat videos of Fucci and a friend in the back of a police car after Bailey was reported missing, according to WJXT.
