Another clip shows the last moments Bailey was seen alive, she was in the company of Fucci. 
‘We’re having fun, in a f***ing cop car,’ a smiling Fucci says into the camera. He then addresses Bailey directly, saying: ‘Tristyn if you f***ing walk out the damn…’
His friend adds that Tristyn would ‘see this in a month.’
Prosecutors say Fucci made the comments despite knowing full-well Bailey was already dead – because he had killed her.  
In another Snapchat clip, Fucci is seen, alone in the backseat of the patrol vehicle. He says: ‘Guess who’s in a f***ing cop car… tripping, dude.’ 
Tristyn Bailey’s body was found on May 9, 2021 in the woods near Fucci’s home in St Johns, Florida. She had 114 stab wounds – 35 wounds to her head and neck, along with 49 defensive wounds to her arms.

Police obtained surveillance footage from inside Fucci’s home purportedly showing Smith going upstairs and picking up her son’s blue jeans, before allegedly scrubbing blood off of them. 
Those jeans – as well as the drain in Smith’s home, later tested positive for blood, It is unclear if that blood matched Bailey’s. Smith is charged with evidence tampering.
That was among the videos that Florida prosecutors released on Tuesday was surveillance footage from May 9, 2020; the last time Bailey was seen alive. 

In the video, Fucci is allegedly walking with Bailey the night of her murder toward a wooded area in their neighborhood in St Johns after midnight on the night of the murder.
Less than two hours later – just before 2am – the surveillance same camera caught what is alleged to be Fucci running in the opposite direction, prosecutors said.

According to court documents that were released last month, one of Fucci’s friends and classmate at Patriot Oaks Academy, where Bailey also attended, told police that Fucci frequently talked about killing people. 
The friend said that within a month of Bailey being killed, Fucci said he wanted to murder someone by dragging them into the woods and stabbing them.
She also said Fucci would ‘take his knife out and pretend to stab her with it’ and that he would ‘draw graphic pictures depicting mutilated bodies’.
The friend also told detectives that Fucci often heard voices when he was angry that would tell him to kill people, according to the report.

Prosecutors in Florida on Tuesday released video evidence in the murder case against Aiden Fucci, 14, who is believed to be seen walking with victim Tristyn Bailey.

Also included in the court documents was an incident report regarding the moment his mother told him in a police interview room that Bailey’s body had been found.
