DURBIN CROSSING SUBDIVISION
LESS THAN A HALF MILE FROM
HIS HOME AS FOR JAX REPORTER
VIC MICOLUCCI WAS AT THE NEWS
CONFERENCE WITH THE STATE
ATTORNEY WHICH JUST WRAPPED UP
ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO THAT.
♪
>> CANTON AREA ALSO GOT MY HANDS ON THE WARRANT HERE THE WARRANT FOR FIRST-DEGREE MURDER
CHARGES. BEFORE WE GO ANY
FURTHER I DO WANT TO SAY ONE
MORE TIME THE
DETAILS HERE ARE DISTURBING
TALKING TO STATE ATTORNEY OUR
JAILER HE SAID
HORRIFIC COULD BE SEEN AS
AN UNDERSTATEMENT IN THIS CASE
HE HAS BEEN WORKING IN THIS
JURISDICTION. FOR DECADES AND
HE SAYS HE’S NEVER COVERED OR
HEAD TO WORK SOMETHING
AS HORRIBLE. AS THIS SO LET’S
GO INTO THE DETAILS THAT HE
RELEASED WITH US.
114 STAB WOUNDS.
THAT’S WHAT THE MEDICAL
EXAMINER FOUND DURING THE
AUTOPSY ON TRUST IN BAILEY’S
BODY. 49 OF THOSE WOUNDS,
WE’RE DEFENSIVE. NOW WE WERE
THERE ABOUT A
♪
DAY LATER WHEN DETECTIVES FOUND
THE KNIFE.
INVESTIGATORS SAY WAS USED IN
THIS MURDER IN A POND. WE HAVE
THAT EXCLUSIVE VIDEO I WAS
THERE PERSONALLY THIS WAS ABOUT
7.30
IN THE EVENING WHEN THE DIVE
TEAM WITH SAINT JOHNS COUNTY
SHERIFF’S OFFICE, PULLED THAT
KNIFE OUT TODAY FOR THE FIRST
TIME WE LEARNED FROM THE STATE
ATTORNEY THAT IT WAS A FOLDING
KNIFE SO A BUCK KNIFE IS HOW HE
CALLED IT ALMOST LIKE A LARGE
POCKET KNIFE. HE ALSO SAID THAT
THE TIP
BROKE OFF THAT TIP WAS FOUND
DURING THE AUTOPSY WITH THE
MEDICAL EXAMINER.
JUST ONE OF MANY HORRIFIC
DETAILS WE ALSO
I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A LOT
OF EVIDENCE INCLUDING BLOODIED
CLOTHES AND BLOOD ISSUES AT 8
IN FUCCI’S HOME THAT HOME RIGHT
AROUND THE CORNER FROM
WHERE TRISTEN BAILEY’S BODY WAS
FOUND IN THE WOODS
WHICH HAPPENED TO BE RIGHT NEXT
TO THAT POND WHERE THE DIVE
TEAM. RECOVERED THAT KNIFE
THAT HOME ALSO PART OF THE
CRIME SCENE DETECTIVES CASE
THAT FOR MORE THAN A DAY.
NOW OUR JAILER IS AT THE STATE
ATTORNEY FOR SAINT AUGUSTINE
SAYS. HE
IS DISTURBED. HE IS HORRIFIED
BY THE DETAILS AND THERE IS NO
DOUBT IN HIS MIND OR ANYONE
ELSE ON THE CASE THAT THIS IS
FIRST DEGREE PREMEDITATED
MURDER.
>> THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
PREMEDITATION COULD BE INFERRED
CERTAINLY FROM JUST THE SHEER
NUMBER. A
STAB WOUNDS THAT TRISTON BAILEY
HAVE TO SUFFER.
EVERY TIME. EVERY TIME THAT
WENT BACK.
AND EVERY TIME THAT WENT DOWN.
THAT WAS PREMEDITATION AND
IT HAPPENED IF YOU TIMES ONE
14, BUT HEY THAT’S TO 28.
BUT IT’S NOT JUST THE FACT THAT
SHE
WAS FAIL. 14 HAVE 214 TIMES.
IT’S ALSO INFORMATION THAT WE
WERE ABLE TO TO BLAINE FROM
WITNESSES. THE DEFENDANT MADE
STATEMENTS. TO
SEVERAL PEOPLE. IF HE INTENDED
TO KILL SOMEONE. HE DIDN’T SAY
WHO THAT WAS BUT HE INDICATED
TO WITNESSES THAT HE WAS GOING
TO KILL SOMEONE BY TAKING THEM
IN THE WOODS. AND STABBING.
WHICH ARE CERTAINLY THE FACTS.
THIS CASE.
>> AND THAT NEWS CONFERENCE WHERE WE LEARNED THE NEW DETAILS
CAME OUT. LASTED FOR ABOUT 15
MINUTES, OUR JAILER IS THAT THE
STATE ATTORNEY AS WELL AS THE
CHIEF DETECTIVE DETECTIVE SKIP
COLE. THEY WERE VERY OPEN ABOUT
THE CASE
BUT THEY DID NOT ELABORATE ON
THE MOTIVE, THEY SAID THEY’RE
STILL WORKING ON THAT THEY’RE
STILL TRYING TO FIND OUT.
WHAT HAPPENED LEADING UP TO
THIS
HORRIFIC MURDER AS FAR AS AYDIN
FUCCI THE 14 YEAR-OLD BEHIND
ALL OF THIS ACCORDING
TO INVESTIGATORS. RIGHT NOW HE
IS AT A DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE
JUSTICE FACILITY TO COUNTIES.
SOUTH OF US AT DAYTONA BEACH.
BUT NOW THAT HE IS CHARGED AS
AN ADULT AND HE IS CHARGED WITH
FIRST DEGREE MURDER. HE IS
GOING TO BE TRANSFERRED TO AN
ADULT FACILITY. WE DON’T KNOW
IF THAT’S GOING TO BE HERE AT
THE SAINT JOHNS COUNTY JAIL
WHICH IS A BLOCK AWAY FROM
WHERE I’M STANDING OR IF IT’S
GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE
BECAUSE OF HIS SAFETY AND
BECAUSE OF THE NOTORIETY OF THE
CASE, BUT THEY SAY THEY WILL
LET US KNOW HE IS GOING TO
BE REARRESTED ON
THAT FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGE
HE WILL BE BOOKED INTO JAIL
HE’S GOING TO GO BEFORE A JUDGE
ONCE AGAIN AND THAT WILL
PROBABLY HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT
DAY, SO WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED
ON THAT AS WELL AS THE OTHER
BIG DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS CASE
