How are they reporting his name, if they haven't decided whether he will be charged as an adult yet?

At the very bottom of the article

CRIME GUIDELINES NOTE: Each time a minor is arrested, Action News Jax discusses the seriousness of the charge they are facing. In this case, Aiden Fucci is facing a second-degree murder charge, which is a felony, so that is why we have decided to show his photo.

Informative video at this link. It shows the five different crime scenes.

Timeline of events in disappearance, death of St. Johns County teen Tristyn Bailey

The 5 crime scenes. The news video reports that young teen boys live at both cordoned-off homes. Also a small sedan was seen at 1:37am going down Saddlestone Drive which is the cul-de-sac where her body was found in the woods.

What took the parents so long to report a 13 year old girl missing? Their school is K-8 so both suspect and victim are just 8th graders. It looks like a very nice area, but that is very late for such young kids to be out without direct adult chaperones. JMO

It appears sheriff’s deputies and a dive team are investigating a pond right next to where Tristyn Bailey’s body was found. I’m working to learn more.
Here’s a look at the scene from above with the

Sky Vision Drone. You can several deputies and the command center.

I read one report that said Tristyn and Fucci went through elementary school together and they were long time friends. This article says Tristyn was in 7th grade. Last seen by her parents at about midnight. Then last seen by friends at the Durbin Amenity Center at 1:15 am. Your article mentions the sedan seen near where she was found at 1:37 am. She was found wearing her cheer leading skirt and a dark top so maybe a late (very late) school event?

@sds71 Thanks I think your screen shot matches up with this address. You can take the yellow google man and walk around the area.

"Sunday morning around 10 a.m., Tristyn's family reported her missing. Hours later, a neighbor found her body in the woods, just beyond the end of Saddlestone Drive in the Durbin Crossing neighborhood."

5 crime scenes??

Wow. That isn’t a small amount to walk either. Curious why the trees are roped off, and what the dive team is searching for. This case will haunt this community for a long time.

They might have snuck out of their houses without the parents knowing.I did it many times as a teenager.

A weapon?

I just heard my heart shatter into a million pieces - this is a parents worst nightmare. That boy needs to be tried as an adult and any of his friends, as accessories. I hope more information is released on why they and poor Tristyn were out so late at night. RIP Tristyn. I hope justice prevails.

For some reason I couldn’t find the video with the 5 crime scenes at this link... but I did see the press conference videos at the link and finally watched today’s presser. The sheriff was incredibly cordial and respectful while maintaining total control. A+++ to this sheriff on media relations.

A horrifying situation though. Following.

My guess was they were searching for Tristyn’s phone, but I agree a weapon is a real possibility too. Did these kids bike around?

Maybe they found evidence in 5 locations?

moo Tristyn and Aiden's homes. The other male friend who was mentioned but not arrested. The amenity center and mostly the crime scene. I imagine Ring doorbells will play a big part. It's a really nice neighborhood.
