Aiden Fucci’s mother, Crystal Smith, was arrested for allegedly tampering with evidence after her son was charged with cruelly stabbing 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey 114 times.
Later, Police reported that Crystal surrendered herself to the custody of the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
According to her arrest warrant, after her son went with investigators for questioning in Bailey’s killing, Crystal was seen on surveillance video inside her home washing his blue pant, which later tested positive for blood. Likewise, the drain in the sink also tested positive for blood.
Sheriff Rob Hardwick revealed that Smith would be liable for her role in this case. Smith even wrote a letter obtained by First Coast News, in which she explained that her son is not beyond saving. Also, she wrote a letter to the Bailey family expressing her condolences for the death of Tristyn.
