Teen Charged With Murdering Tristyn Bailey Allegedly Said “How Is That My Problem?” When His Mom Told Him Tristyn Was Dead
St. Johns, Florida. 13-year-old cheerleader Tristyn Bailey was found murdered on Mother’s Day. According to the medical examiner, her cause of death was due to “sharp force trauma by stabbing.”
Tristyn was stabbed 114 times, and 14-year-old Aiden Fucci has been charged with first-degree murder after authorities named him as a suspect in the case.
Aiden’s own mom, Crystal Smith, has also been charged with tampering with evidence because she washed a bloody pair of his jeans that he allegedly wore as he took Tristyn’s life.
Although Aiden was initially charged with second-degree murder, the charges against him were upgraded in late May.
Additionally, Aiden had been charged as a juvenile, but now that has changed and he will be tried in court as an adult. If found guilty, Aiden could be sentenced to death.
One thing that many people have found super shocking about this case is a Snapchat Aiden allegedly sent around after he was arrested.
The selfie pictured him sitting in the back of a police car. He held up a peace sign and wrote, “Hey guys has anybody seen Tristyn lately?”
As more and more information is being made public in this heartbreaking case, it’s painting a darker and darker picture of Tristyn’s alleged killer.

The most recent round of documents shares details from the first interview that authorities had with Aiden while his parents were present.
As Aiden sat there in the interview room, his parents told him not to say a single word until their lawyer had arrived.
However, the interview room had video and voice recording set in place, so everything Aiden and his parents said and did prior to authorities entering the room was taped.

After mentioning not to talk until the lawyer got there, Aiden’s mom Crystal allegedly told him that Tristyn had been found just down the street from their house.
Aiden then asked, “Is she good?” Crystal explained to him that she was no longer alive. “No, she’s dead. This is why this is very important,” Crystal said to him.
“It’s all on you right now,” She continued.
Aiden said back to her, “How is that my problem?” Crystal and Aiden’s father Jason then said to Aiden that he was the last person to be seen with Tristyn.
There are a lot of pages to unpack in the court documents that have been made public, and as we read through them we’ll share more information.
