An arrest has been made in connection with the death of 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey, whose body was found in the woods on Sunday.
A 14-year-old Florida boy, Aiden Fucci, is in custody and facing a charge of second-degree murder, according to WVSN. St. John’s County Sheriff Robert Hardwick said it is still unknown if the boy will be charged as an adult at a press conference.
Bailey was last seen around 1:15 a.m. at a community center early Sunday. The girl’s family reported her missing at 10 a.m. that morning. The community came together to search for the missing girl for the better part of the day.
A resident who was out for a walk discovered her body in a wooded area. Hardwick said Bailey was fully clothed when she was found but did not provide any other details. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
According to the sheriff, the teens attended the same school and were a part of the same “close-knight” community.
Fucci’s next scheduled court appearance is set for Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.
