The state attorney said it “would be an understatement to describe Tristyn’s murder as horrific.”
He said Tristyn was stabbed a staggering 114 times, with 49 of those wounds sustained to her hands and arms. Larizza described those wounds as “defensive”, and said that Tristyn suffered them as she “fought for her life.”
Larizza also confirmed that investigators recovered what they believe to be the murder weapon: a folding buck knife, which was recovered in a pond near to Tristyn’s body.
Fucci could appear in court again as early as Friday.
