Cosmo Dinardo’s attorney, Paul Lang, said Dinardo made his confession to Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub and told investigators where the bodies were buried in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. Additional human remains were found inside a "common grave" but haven't been identified, Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said Thursday. Less than 24 hours after investigators discovered the remains of at least one of the four Bucks County men reported missing last week, 20-year-old Bucks County resident Cosmo DiNardo has “confessed to his participation or commission” in all of their murders, according to his attorney. Jimi Patrick, Tom Meo, Mark Sturgis and Dean Finocchiaro all seemed to vanish without a trace after the Fourth of July, and investigators say all of the men knew each other in some way, including Cosmo DiNardo, the person of interest in the case. Meo's vehicle was found at a separate property owned by the DiNardo family, a day after authorities said DiNardo attempted to sell Meo's car to a friend for $500, according to a criminal affidavit. Dinardo had been arrested on Monday at his home for owning a gun he was not allowed to possess because he had previously been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility, prosecutors said. DiNardo was released Tuesday evening after his father paid 10% of his $1 million bail in cash, but by Wednesday DiNardo was arrested again. Cadaver dogs found 19-year-old Dean Finocchiaro’s body on Wednesday along with remains of other people not yet identified in a 12-foot-deep (3.7-meter) common grave on the 90-acre (36.4 hectare) farm in Solebury, Pennsylvania. Weintraub said at a news conference on Wednesday, “I feel that we bought ourselves a little bit of time in charging Mr. Dinardo with the stolen car case today,” and he referenced that Dinardo’s bail had been set at $5 million.
