Bailey, a cheerleader, was a student at Patriot Oaks Academy with Fucci. On the night of her murder, investigators say Bailey was seen just after midnight on surveillance video walking with Fucci.
Over an hour later, Fucci is seen on the same surveillance camera running in the opposite direction of the woods where he allegedly stabbed Bailey to death, according to police.
Fucci pleaded not guilty in June and is being tried as an adult.
Fucci’s next hearing is set for Oct. 28.
