Tristyn left her house pre-hours around 1:15 a.m. on Sunday May 9th, and by 10 a.m. she was reported missing. On Sunday afternoon, 12 hours after her last sight, St. Johns County Sheriff's Office sent out a notice on social media saying that, Tristyn was missing, telling people to keep an eye out for her. Later that evening, Tristyn was found in a wooded area near a retention pond.

The arrest report says that the deputies were able to get ahold of a security video that showed the two teens wakling on east Saddlestone Drive around 1:45 a.m. Then later showing just Aiden walking west around 3:27 a.m., and when later searching Fucci's home officers found clothes that tested postive with the presence of blood. Sheriff's also said Tristyn had been found with her clothes on and there was no indication that she had been sexually assaulted, despite rumors saying she had been.

Aiden Fucci was charged with 2nd degree murder, and is only facing 7 years. Fucci also posted on his snapchat "Hey guys has inybody seen Tristyn lately" while in the back of a squad car.

    • I kinda agree but in the same sense you would also have to look at what the Evidence is showing and how they think that he sexually assaulted her. She may have had a part in it too but you never know because you don't know if he'll tell the truth are not.

  • I think that her killer should be charged as an adult because it was not an accident and also he posted on his Snapchat about her.  I think that he probobly did because he did kill her and most people the kill girls tend to sexually assalut them before or after they kill them.  

    • I agree but also you gotta think about it this way, Bo said up above that it happened at 3:27 a.m. so like isn't that kinda suspicious and kinda weird for this to happen because I think something was planned.

  • Yes I do, reports say that she was raped and killed. most suspitions say that he was the killer and the rapist. im sure if they test the dna it will match his and they they will be able to put it away for life. I feel like he deserves the maximum sentance becasue of what he did.

  • Yes, because he acted like an adult so he needs to be tried like adult. he commited adultry so he should be tried as an adult, and he also killed the girl so he should be  tried as so. she had alot more life before her that she could have lived out.

    • Very true if you act like an adult I believe you should be considered an adult and many kids do different things that illegal like think but maybe not to this extent but this man should still be charged like an adult.

  • I think that he should be charged as an adult. If he commited a murder, I think that he should be charged as an adult. There is no doubt in my mind that he should get more than 7 years in prison for this. He killed a 13 year old. I know that he is young, but so was Tristyn, and if he took her life away from her, then his life can be spent in prison. 

  • Umm. I don't know about the charged as an adult since I don't have enough information to decide that nor the power. I have no opinion on the tried as an adult question. Personally, I think he sexually assualted her, because they found no evidence of her being sexually assualted.  I also am unsure since they were best friends why would he kill her? Another question I have is: Why did he ask where she was when in the back of a police car? Is he isane/crazy or framed? That's why without enough information and evidence I can't have a clear look at this case and decide.

  • I've been seeing this story all over tiktok, and I do believe he should be charged as an adult because just because he killed now doesn't mean he's gonna stop. Its a rage thing that happens in humans. He is an evil teenager who has evil thoughts. I've been hearing that he raped her, which what 14 year old does that. Aiden is an evil man who needs to be locked away, because what if this happens again? 

  • Your summary is good but I would like to see more of your thoughts/opinions within your summary. You didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points. -20 two days late
