Four young men have mysteriously disappeared within days
of each other in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Are the disappearances
related? If so who is responsible? While Police don't have all of
the answers, they do suspect foul play. Authorities also believe there is
a connection between the disappearances. But what? So far the police have
shared very little specifics with the public.
We know that 19-year-old college student, Jimi
Patrick, was reported missing last Wednesday. Two days later, Dean Finocchiaro,
18, got into a friend's car and no one has heard from Dean in days. Shortly
thereafter, 22-year-old Mark Sturgis and 21-year-old Tom Meo, failed to
report to their jobs. Fortunately a cellphone ping associated with Dean
led authorities to search a farm owned by Cosmo DiNardo. In close
proximity, Meo's car was found in a shack. DiNardo was charged with a gun
related charge and is being held on one million dollar bond. (He has not
been charged with the disappearance of the men.)
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. What does
DiNardo know about the missing men? If he has shared anything with the
police, they are not telling the public. But, a million dollar bond seems
to send a message that authorities think he knows something about these men.
Nevertheless, all suspects and persons of interest are presumed innocent
unless otherwise proven in a court of law. Stay tuned.
Update 7-13-17: A mass grave was found with human remains. Apparently, DiNardo is also accused of attempting to sell a Nissan car belonging to one of the men.
