00:00:41for four missing young men from Bucks County centered on a farm in Sulbury Township we're

00:00:46able to locate an area of disturbance looking like a fresh gravesite we started digging we

00:00:53didn't know what we would find I just never thought I'd see that

00:01:05from the pulsating streets of big cities to Main Street USA no neighborhood is safe from the

00:01:15unthinkable these are the stories of innocence lost of communities changed forever this

00:01:22is City Confidential

00:01:34just an hour north of Philadelphia is Bucks County a place known as much for its scenic charm and affluence

00:01:42as its significance in American history it's here George Washington launched his Delaware River

00:01:49crossing and it's rumored that Ben Franklin famously flew his kite to demonstrate the connection between

00:01:56lightning and electricity in the southern part of the county fast forward to the 1800s when a young

00:02:03Quaker revolutionized farming by inventing the cast-iron plow over time the Quakers were replaced by a crop of

00:02:13wealthy professionals who loved living inside a picture postcard while earning a living in Philly

00:02:18today Bucks is home to some 600,000 people spread across 622 square miles a few farmers still work the lush soil

00:02:32but the many silos that once dotted the landscape have been replaced by well-tended homes and upscale

00:02:39shopping centers but it hasn't lost its small town charm

00:02:44Bucks County is much more a county of communities it's the place where rural Pennsylvania meets urban Pennsylvania and where urban Pennsylvania meets suburban Pennsylvania

00:03:00it's known for being a safe place it's one of the reasons people move to Bucks County for the low crime rate the good schools and the beauty in the nature and the convenience to being close

00:03:04to all those amenities while still living a quieter lifestyle

00:03:19people watch out for people and everybody knows everyone

00:03:25I'll even say that there's three degrees of separation that I know somebody who knows somebody else

00:03:32and everyone has one thing in common a love for tradition so it's no wonder with all the

00:03:39well-known Bucks County history that's tied to the founding fathers and the birth of the nation

00:03:44that the biggest celebration every year is the fourth of July

00:03:51it's like two weeks of events you know it's like the week before and of and then after

00:03:57they have your typical parades and fireworks but they have craft shows and 5k runs for for charity

00:04:11they do historical reenactments and readings

00:04:16I probably couldn't even name all of the events that actually occur

00:04:19but in 2017 the festivities came to a screeching halt

00:04:28when the fertile farmland Bucks had always prided itself on became the breeding ground for a dark

00:04:34seed to thrive and just like that there was a new page in the annals of the county's renowned history

00:04:42that everyone would rather forget

00:04:55just after 6 pm on saturday july 8th police in the southern bucks county community of middletown township

00:05:02receive a troubling call anthony and bonnie finicero say their 19 year old son dean has been missing for 23

00:05:09hours they're worried sick officer megan freer responds to the call when i arrived at the house

00:05:18i realized there were a lot of people there you can tell that everybody in there was worried

00:05:25the finicaros tell the officer that at about 6 30 on friday night anthony was in the basement doing

00:05:31laundry his son said he was going out but will be back in about 15 minutes

00:05:36i finished doing what i was doing i came upstairs uh i believe it was an hour later

00:05:45he wasn't home uh i text messaged him i didn't get anything back i started calling him and uh it was

00:05:54going right to his voicemail it was unusual i mean you know his phone would die a lot of times but

00:06:01he would contact us through a friend's phone or you know or something like he just wouldn't

00:06:10go all that time and not contact us

00:06:15and when dean wasn't home the next morning the finicaros were certain something must be wrong

00:06:21i started hitting his friends up no one seen him that night

00:06:25then i started worrying anthony was frantic

00:06:30he was beside himself and just kept saying i don't something doesn't feel right

00:06:43the finicaros tell freer dean would never think of running away

00:06:46he loves his life he had a super personality crazy goofy fun

00:06:58he loved to skateboard hockey he was an extreme sport person you know everything was to the extreme

00:07:06jumping ramps flips jumping off of cliffs and flipping you know the wheelies and the no hands on the

00:07:14the dirt bikes he had more balls than brains he really did he uh but that's what he enjoyed doing it

00:07:23was non-stop he was just a funny kid hated school kept me on my toes and uh it was a major part of my

00:07:35life just trying to control him and stay on top of him

00:07:38you know it's just uh reminded me of myself when i was his age

00:07:49but the one thing that dean never did was lose touch with his family

00:07:55i asked the finicaros if they had any cameras around their home that can maybe point us in a

00:08:01direction where dean went or if he got into a car in front of the house

00:08:04uh bonnie told me that they didn't have any cameras but neighbor did the neighbor's security

00:08:12cameras showed a silver ford pickup truck driving down their street around the same time that dean

00:08:20had left his house my neighbor next door was and said he saw the truck come and he saw dean come out

00:08:27and get it in the truck so that told me that that was likely where dean uh was last seen and he was

00:08:34last seen getting into that pickup truck freer has a few of dean's friends look at the video

00:08:41they recognize the silver truck it belongs to cosmo denardo a 20 year old from ben salem the well-heeled

00:08:50bucks county community 15 minutes away they told me they didn't want to get dean in trouble but he

00:08:57did leave to go buy some marijuana that night and we were waiting for him to come back and he never came

00:09:02back and we all tried calling a cell phone we all tried texting on him and start coming to voicemail

00:09:07none of the texts were answered dean's friends told me they were trying to reach out to cosmo

00:09:14on social media and they were unsuccessful i just kind of thought well everybody's reaching out to

00:09:19him you think he would answer so so i thought it was strange that cosmo wouldn't answer anybody

00:09:28i'm thinking that dean got into the car with cosmo but we don't know where they went

00:09:36officer freer contacts the phone company they tell her the last cell tower dean's phone pinged

00:09:42before being turned off was 20 miles away in bucks county solbury township

00:09:49knowing that dean was most likely last with cosmo denardo i checked any denardo properties up in

00:09:58the area where the cell phone tower was and i found two properties which were adjacent to each other

00:10:04both in the denardo name i was thinking that that's the most likely where one or both of them are

00:10:13a little after midnight freer arrives the solbury township police department as a professional

00:10:19courtesy she lets them know what's going on and tells them she's heading out to the farm on aquatong

00:10:24road solbury pd assigns one of their officers to help her i met with officer gary farcer i kind of

00:10:33laid out for him everything that i had uh who dean was where he was last seen and who was allegedly last

00:10:41with and i asked him to take me to those properties since he's more familiar with the area than i am

00:10:48i didn't know much about the property i mean i drove by it probably hundreds of times but i've

00:10:54never been there before um so i just had her follow me to the address i had in my mind that

00:11:00we were gonna knock on the door and maybe have kids come down and say yeah we're just playing video

00:11:07games as soon as we arrived at the house you could tell that the house wasn't lived in for several

00:11:13years it was very eerie there were no lights on in the house there were no cars on the property

00:11:18it's an old kind of farmhouse probably built in the 1800s we parked and got out just to kind of peek

00:11:29in the windows and it was obvious in the state of rehab there was fresh windows inside ready to be

00:11:35installed so we're looking around at the property with our flashlights looking for a phone looking for

00:11:42anybody that might be around after poking around for hours in the dark they realize they need to

00:11:50suspend their search until first light the officers go their separate ways but on forrester's ride back

00:11:58to the station he can't shake the feeling that he has to take another look around the dinardo property

00:12:05now i called officer freer and advised her that i was going to go back if i found anything i

00:12:12would contact her minutes later forrester's back at the farm on aquatung road he heads straight for an

00:12:21old shed and even though he doesn't realize it what he finds planted there is the first sign something

00:12:29sinister has taken root in bucks county

00:12:43solbury township pd officer gary forrester peers into an open shed in the back corner of the dinardo's

00:12:49property without a warrant that's the most he can do but it's enough

00:12:54i saw a vehicle inside the car was in pretty good shape there were no spider webs on the car

00:13:02there was no dust you could tell that the car wasn't in the shed for years that it might have

00:13:09been just placed there why not just park it on the front lawn but it wasn't it just seemed to be hidden

00:13:16and nobody wanted that car to be found forrester calls in the tag number the car is registered to

00:13:2521 year old thomas meal of plumstead township another bucks county farming community 10 miles east of

00:13:33solbury seconds later another voice comes across the radio a plumstead township police officer informed

00:13:43me that earlier in the day tom's mother came to their police station and reported him missing also

00:13:50that means two young men from bucks county disappeared on the same night

00:13:55and tom meal's car is right in front of forrester since he doesn't have a warrant he uses his flashlight

00:14:02to see if there's any sign of tom i looked inside the back seat of the car and there was a lot of

00:14:08clothes back there and i was concerned that there might be a body in the back seat

00:14:15but there wasn't so i went back outside and leading up to the shed there's no driveway there's no pavement

00:14:24it's all grass so i did shine my flashlight and i could tell that there were fresh tire impressions and

00:14:31we had just missed somebody that might have dropped that car off and put it inside

00:14:38forrester calls into his station to tell detectives on duty that he's not sure what's going on

00:14:44he is at a farm in solbury assisting in the missing persons case of dean finnecaro from middletown township

00:14:51there's no sign of dean but he did find a car that belongs to another missing kid from plumstead tom meal

00:15:00since the car is in their jurisdiction solbury detectives jump in as a detective with solbury

00:15:07township uh i'm on call overnight when i'm not in the office and i did receive a call uh very early in

00:15:15the morning in the morning in regards to a possible missing person investigation that was just starting

00:15:21koretsky reaches out to plumstead pd to find out everything he can about tom meal

00:15:30he learns tom's single mother melissa meal contacted police because 21 year old tom and his best friend

00:15:3722 year old mark sturgis had been out of touch for 24 hours

00:15:41tom's an insolent dependent diabetic he's also a responsible young man who never goes long without

00:15:50checking in with his family thomas was a really great big brother he was protective and thomas was

00:15:59very funny always smiling always joking you know i'm a little sarcastic he always would know

00:16:10my jokes i would know you know just by a look we would know you know exactly what we were you know

00:16:17smirking or smiling about he was not judgmental um he was curious about people and how and how they

00:16:28live he would always ask a lot of questions he loved to meet people he just always looked at the good in

00:16:35everyone tom was planning to spend friday night july 7th hanging out with mark sturgis

00:16:48he was tall and just had a large you know stature and really sweet they were really close and you would

00:16:56hear them having these deep conversations playing video games always playing video games

00:17:02mark was really good on the guitar thomas was learning and they were always together

00:17:10they both worked for mark's dad they did construction roofing siding um

00:17:17typical carpentry um you know mark was a very very hard worker tom was a very hard worker as well but i

00:17:24think that you know working with your best friend and working with his dad was probably really fun

00:17:30but by saturday morning july 8th they both seemed to have disappeared melissa tried their phones her

00:17:41calls went straight to voicemail then she went to the construction company to check on them

00:17:46that's when mark's father told her neither one had shown up for work but he was hoping they would soon

00:17:52so i went home because i thought well you know maybe if they ditched work maybe mark won't want to

00:18:02go back to his dad i just was like all right let me go home in case they come here

00:18:07i just assumed that thomas would walk in with mark and you know have a funny story about what they did that

00:18:13day and everything would be fine that's what i was hoping for i called a few of his friends they didn't

00:18:23know where tom was or mark and it was going into the evening i was really restless i went to uh plumpstead

00:18:34police station to file a missing persons report i explained to them about thomas and mark that you

00:18:41know they're both really good guys and they're responsible

00:18:48i now knew i had three missing individuals two of which were connected to each other and one dean

00:18:54finnicaro who was not connected to the other two we had a cell phone location for dean finnicaro

00:18:59placing him in the area of the aquaton road address we had thomas mayo's vehicle off of aquaton road

00:19:05at that point threw up many red flags indicating that these three were possibly together and further

00:19:13investigation needed to be conducted as to why these three were together and where they may be

00:19:18at this point in time police run tom meal's plate through the department's automatic license plate reader

00:19:24database essentially their video cameras attached to the patrol car on the exterior those video cameras

00:19:32captured the license plates of passing motor vehicles on friday evening thomas mayo's vehicle was captured

00:19:39just about a quarter mile down from the farm property since tom's car was found on the dinardo property

00:19:47investigators get the plates of cosmo dinardo's silver pickup and run those too they get another hit

00:19:54cosmo's truck passed the same reader that recorded tom's car just 15 seconds before

00:20:01it looks like tom was following cosmo towards the farm but why and just like they did for dean finnicaro

00:20:09detectives request the cell information for tom and mark's phones i noted in the records that all the

00:20:15cell phones were all deactivated around the same time within minutes of each other that was extremely odd

00:20:23why are they all turning off their cell phones around the same time what's going on why don't they want

00:20:28to communicate with anybody and there's something else that stands out all the phones mysteriously

00:20:37disconnected within three miles of the dinardo farm

00:20:43we initially started with what we call a whiteboard putting pieces of evidence together pieces of information

00:20:49together as an info board started to get filled up with information we're able to centralize on on

00:20:55one key point that cosmo dinardo was a person of interest in this investigation and that we needed to

00:21:01locate him as soon as possible in regards to the whereabouts of these three missing teams

00:21:06as the sun begins to rise over bucks county officer megan freer of middletown pd tries to track down

00:21:24cosmo dinardo knowing that cosmo's family lives in ben salem i contacted ben salem police and asked

00:21:32officers to meet me there i knocked on the door and sandra dinardo answered the door sandra dinardo

00:21:40is cosmo dinardo's mother and she just said well he's not home right now he's at work and i said okay

00:21:50well would you have him call me when i when he returns and i left my information

00:21:54as freer waits to hear from cosmo word begins to spread about the missing young men

00:22:02i was actually on vacation getting ready to head back home and we had received a press release from

00:22:09the middletown township police department that dean finnicaro who was 19 was missing from the township

00:22:16as kind of our standard policy if there's a press release from a police department we reported on it

00:22:21he was last seen friday he got into a vehicle i'm up by maple point middle school at that time i wasn't

00:22:28thinking much of it it's not uncommon to have reports of missing people considering his age i was thinking

00:22:34maybe his phone battery died and he was out with friends or he went down the shore went to the city

00:22:39for the weekend and i then started to hear a little bit about tom mayo and mark sturgis

00:22:47maybe these cases were connected i was calling police sources and police officials and at that

00:22:53point they weren't saying anything more than what was already out there so that was also a sign something

00:22:59was up because they didn't seem to have a full picture suddenly local internet sites and chat rooms

00:23:08are abuzz with bucks county kids looking for their friends

00:23:15so i'm trying to you know piece things together maybe i can figure out where tom's at you know or

00:23:21what's going on i saw kids kind of thing where you at tom and then uh where you at mark my fear is

00:23:31increasing every tick of the moment with the clock because you know if your friends and your mother don't

00:23:36know where you're at that's a problem

00:23:43it was just unimaginable and the community was baffled because this just doesn't happen in bucks

00:23:49county kids just don't disappear like that and people became concerned for their own families

00:23:57like any father and grandfather which i am i couldn't help but relate uh what happened here

00:24:03uh why are these uh young men missing uh what befell them what uh is going on what are the police going

00:24:13to going to turn up it was a truly unfolding mystery before the eyes of a couple of million people uh in this

00:24:23region

00:24:26well at this point we're getting very little information from police this morning we saw police

00:24:31cruiser parked in front of an empty garage on aqua tongue road there was yellow crime scene tape

00:24:37there police from several departments searched the general area last night i've reached out to them

00:24:43by phone and email we know that we are expecting an update from them any minute now as soon as we get

00:24:48that information we'll pass it along to you

00:24:54in late morning police get a call from the dinardo family's attorney who's heard they want to talk to

00:24:59cosmo he says cosmo and his dad will meet them at his law office at 2 30 p.m bucks county detectives

00:25:08finally sit down with the 20 year old i saw cosmo and his father sitting together at the interview table

00:25:14and uh he seemed very relaxed and uh didn't seem to have a care in the world seemed like he wanted to

00:25:22talk a lot the interview was to determine if he knew perhaps any information at all

00:25:28because it seemed like he was the common denominator for these three individuals we asked cosmo about

00:25:35picking up dean finnecaro cosmo said he went to dean's house around 5 or 6 p.m after work picked up dean

00:25:43dean said he needed to run an errand cosmo did not want to go and he dropped dean off where dean lived

00:25:50we take the timeline from there and press forward to say okay what did you do then he said he went

00:25:57fishing we asked him uh if he'd been up to the soulbury property he said he wasn't we asked him if

00:26:03his any of his friends were there possibly maybe his friends were there and he said no they weren't there

00:26:08he he would have been there if they were there but again we continue to let him go what'd you do then

00:26:14okay okay then he went home we asked him if he knew where dean was he said he didn't we asked him

00:26:20about tom mio he said he did not know tom mio he said he did not know mark sturgis

00:26:26but tom mio's car was last seen following cosmo's truck and now tom's car is parked on cosmo's family

00:26:34property and he's nowhere to be found it's obvious cosmo's hiding something

00:26:41by 3 p.m police have a search warrant for the shed on the dinardo property hoping to find something in

00:26:49tom's car that will help them find the boys adjacent to the vehicle in the garage there was a set of keys

00:26:56and the title to the vehicle along the wall that was out in itself i then looked at the vehicle

00:27:04where i observed thomas mayo's uh diabetes kit in the rear seat it kind of made the hair on the back

00:27:12of my neck stand up a little bit knowing that he needed that tom's medical condition kicks the

00:27:20investigation into high gear he needs an injection every few hours so cops have to find him fast

00:27:27they hope he's with mark and dean but covering the 70 acre dinardo farm is a challenge

00:27:35we dispatched a helicopter with a patrol officer within it um property was heavily wooded along the

00:27:42edges hilly slopey had some small little creeks running through the property as well

00:27:50obviously the key factor is to look for the boys are they lost in the woods are they injured in the

00:27:55woods uh did they fall on trip and get hurt or are they just hanging out camping in the woods

00:28:00we did not see any persons in distress or vehicles in the woods or people out and about walking around

00:28:08in the woods or the corn fields or anything of that at that point what the officer did observe

00:28:13what appeared to be uh fresh gravel laid out as well as tire tracks towards the rear of the cornfield

00:28:21knowing that we had this fresh disturbance on the property tire tracks being very close proximity to

00:28:25where tommy mayo's vehicle was we continued the aerial until it got dark

00:28:33but there's no sign of the boys anywhere then police get a call looks like this investigation

00:28:41is getting bigger by the minute there's another young man who mysteriously disappeared from bucks county

00:28:50two days before the others

00:28:54one of the detectives reached out to surrounding municipalities within bucks county to locate

00:29:24any additional missing persons just to see if there's a connection there of anybody missing

00:29:29recently within the past week or so during that course of the investigation we determined that

00:29:35jimmy patrick was reported missing prior to dean finnicaro mark sturgis and thomas mayo

00:29:43jimmy patrick is a 19 year old college student from bucks county's newtown township 14 miles from solbury

00:29:50he lives with his grandparents who reported him missing on july 6th they've raised him since he was a baby

00:30:01jimmy was the love of my life he was a great kid i brought him home from the hospital when he was a day old

00:30:08and had no idea i was going to be raising a son and my neighbors my whole block got together and

00:30:16i didn't have any bottles or diapers or anything for him and everybody came together in my neighborhood

00:30:22and in a couple hours i had bags and bags and bags of things and from that moment on it was heaven

00:30:30it was the joy of my life it was no trouble to be a parent to he was always mindful of doing the right

00:30:39thing very capable he was a scholar he was very bright i was very proud of him

00:30:50sharon and rich patrick watched with delight as jimmy breezed through school

00:30:54became a local baseball standout and grew into respectful young man who never gave them a reason

00:31:01to worry until the night of july 5th the last time i saw jimmy was when he was leaving our house uh about

00:31:126 p.m and he planned to meet his friends at a local restaurant so we expected jimmy home about eight

00:31:21o'clock at night i said don't come home early because you're really tired he said i will missy

00:31:27he called me missy so he said i will missy and um i was sitting on a chair and he was just standing

00:31:33right in front of me and i said to him what are you waiting for are you waiting for me to get up and

00:31:38kiss you goodbye and he said yes so i got up and i kissed him goodbye and i told him i loved him he told

00:31:45me he loved me and we hugged each other and um he went out the garage door but eight o'clock came and went

00:31:56no jimmy we felt well he probably went somewhere and he he didn't uh bother to tell us but he usually

00:32:05does he usually text us but this case it didn't happen so reluctantly we went to bed and still didn't

00:32:13know where he was i woke up around 5 30 in the morning and i went in his room thinking he was there and

00:32:21um he wasn't there jimmy also didn't show up for his morning shift at a local restaurant something

00:32:29he's never done before i just started texting him i must have sent like i don't know 30 texts and there

00:32:37was never any answer we tried to contact the police but they would not do anything unless he

00:32:45had been gone 24 hours so they gave us a time like at 7 pm or 6 pm to call back and so we called hospitals

00:32:56we called we called all the friends we could think of we drove around looking for him we just continued

00:33:03on we kept on thinking try to you know rack our brains and figure out where he might have been

00:33:09because we thought for sure he was at a friend's house and

00:33:15we just were anxious for the police to come so we could check with them and find out what we should do

00:33:22next as soon as a 24-hour mark hit on july 6th the newtown police launched an investigation while bucks

00:33:32county residents rushed to the patrick side we had so many of our adult friends come over bring us meals

00:33:41just stopped in to see us which was was nice all our neighbors on our street they put yellow ribbons

00:33:49on their mailbox the whole the whole development a lot of people put yellow ribbons on uh helping

00:33:55hoping we would find jimmy and letting us know that they cared his baseball friends they put information

00:34:03on facebook and it felt very good police search everywhere a 19 year old might go and they ping his cell

00:34:14they get a hit 50 miles away in the same direction as his college in baltimore

00:34:20everyone holds out hope that jimmy just made a quick trip back to school and his cell phone ran out of juice

00:34:27but solbury cops think there might be more to the story they have the phone company ping jimmy's phone again

00:34:35this time they get different information jimmy's phone was actually last used in solbury township

00:34:43right before it was turned off with learning that information and now having four young men missing

00:34:49within bucks county all reported to be in the same area in silvery township all reported to having no

00:34:55contact with their families or friends whatsoever for a lengthy period of time we took this as the most urgent

00:35:02investigation and continued to develop further leads and attempt to locate these boys

00:35:13but when police learned that the four boys are friends with cosmo denardo on social media

00:35:19all roads lead back to solbury where their phones last pinged and tom meal's car was found

00:35:25at the dinardo farm the aerial search continues but knowing that tom meal is probably in desperate

00:35:32need of insulin investigators don't need a warrant or permission from the dinardo's to put boots on the

00:35:39ground they systematically comb the property beginning in the area where tom meal's car was found then

00:35:47they branch out to cover the remaining 70 acres grass was pretty high it was up past your knees

00:35:54i remember it being very hot that day i remember cadets from a local police academy were brought in and

00:36:01and helped with the search everybody had an assignment there were houses on the property there was an old

00:36:09historic barn on the property so everybody had a job and they were officers and detectives and sergeants

00:36:19lieutenants it seemed like there was no rank there everybody kind of pitched in and helped

00:36:23we were looking for evidence uh we didn't know what we would find uh we just kept looking

00:36:35then a few hours into the search investigators spot something shiny poking up through the floorboards

00:36:41just outside an old barn a cell phone was located in the lower level of the barn

00:36:48i dialed 9-1-1 from the cell phone by dialing 9-1-1 it usually provides the owner's information to the 9-1-1

00:36:55center once the 9-1-1 center received a call from that phone they reported that the phone was owned by dean finnicaro

00:37:04it was one of those moments where you're like what is going on here what happened to dean where is he

00:37:11i responded to the rear of the house where an officer located a stone pile with a sneaker sticking

00:37:18out of it that sneaker seemed odd it looks like it was just dumped there why would a sneaker be in the

00:37:24middle of nowhere every investigator is on high alert knowing something bad happened on the sprawling

00:37:32deserted farm they just don't know what i then responded immediately over to the lower portion of the

00:37:39barn where my name was being called from again i noticed on the concrete floor a pooling of blood

00:37:46as i looked up i noticed blood coming through the floorboards of the main portion of the barn

00:38:00detective goretzky from soulbury pd follows the trail of blood dripping from the dinardo's barn ceiling

00:38:06up to the second level he finds a pile of sand under it more blood

00:38:16the blood there was significant enough to show for a serious injury to somebody if it was just a

00:38:23basic injury somebody tripped fell and hurt why would you cover it up with sand

00:38:30what's going on with these four kids right now i have enough blood that shows that somebody seriously

00:38:35injured the case was turning to more of a criminal investigation at that point we had the sneaker

00:38:47we had tommy mayo's diabetes kit in his vehicle we had cosmo denardo being less than truthful

00:38:54we knew that there could be many more pieces of evidence located on that farm

00:38:58due to the late hour and vast ground to cover investigators secure the property then they reach

00:39:07out to every agency they can think of local county state and federal the central box crime scene unit was

00:39:14available to us state police were available to us the fbi responded and available to us

00:39:22police canines from philadelphia police department were available to us dive teams from the philadelphia

00:39:29police department were available to us to search any waterways if needed

00:39:34we had every possible resource available to us that monday morning

00:39:43the sun was not even up yet i started to hear that resources were being called to this

00:39:48farm in solbury i had no idea what was happening so i decided to go up to the farm

00:39:56from the street you could see there was a an old historic looking home and a small shed and garage

00:40:02and that's when i first noticed police activity in the area of that garage

00:40:09i started seeing more police vehicles going in the larger main entrance to the farm

00:40:14i saw the county's large evidence recovery vehicle it's this monstrous vehicle with lights and all the

00:40:23bells and whistles and so i immediately knew this was extremely serious at this point i just stand for

00:40:32your patience and your prayer for these four young men and please let us do our jobs so that we could see

00:40:41as to the whereabouts of these four men as an official announcement is sent out

00:40:48police asked the boy's family members to come to the farm while they conduct the search

00:40:55they give us a little area you know like a sitting area and um it was really hot it was loud very noisy

00:41:05very very very stressful and i mean the air was just thick and um full of anxiety

00:41:19it was like i was in a time warp it was a it was it was a haze everything that was going on i just

00:41:24couldn't understand it and because you don't know what to think you know what happened to my child

00:41:35what happened to those other boys

00:41:39we talked to all of them uh all all the family members of the of the different boys and

00:41:58we couldn't find anything in common between jimmy and the other boys at all they never heard of jimmy

00:42:06patrick before either so we just you know we were being civil and we would say we just have to keep

00:42:12on praying that we find the boys and i kept on praying that we'd find the boys

00:42:21tom sofield here live from solbury township uh next as the whole thing plays out local online

00:42:28news reporter tom sofield covers the story live from the sidelines of the farm

00:42:33uh next to us right there with the cornfield is a dinardo property 70 acres that bucks county

00:42:39authorities and fbi investigators continue to search no human remains were found at that site

00:42:45but numerous pieces of important evidence were found he didn't go into what those pieces of evidence

00:42:52are so we're not a hundred percent sure and he also said the news thunders across the community

00:42:57four young men vanished all in the same week all around the same age and all from bucks county

00:43:07social media explodes

00:43:12everyone was trying to play an amateur detective and figure out what happened

00:43:17and with the age of the young guys who were missing so many people's kids knew them or knew of

00:43:23people who knew them everyone was curious where they were uh you know we suspected they were on the

00:43:30farm the police indicated they were searching and they were digging but nobody knew with certainty

00:43:37everyone wanted answers where are they and then the second question what happened

00:43:45people were worried there's no doubt that there was fear in the community

00:43:53there were more locked doors in bucks county than there were on an average night for decades

00:44:04the search goes on for hours soon cops find more blood this time on a backhoe

00:44:12they rush it to the lab along with samples of the blood found in the barn to be tested

00:44:18foul play was coming forward with this case and we're not getting honest information

00:44:23from cosmo denardo he's the last one to have contact with these kids so we needed to get him

00:44:28and get information from him to see what was going on police grab a search warrant and go to the

00:44:33denardo's primary residence in vent salem they find no evidence linking cosmo to dean tom mark or jimmy

00:44:41but they do find some guns since cosmo's been in trouble before for recklessly using a firearm

00:44:49it's enough to hold him until they can figure out if he's involved in the disappearance of the boys

00:44:55authorities say 20-year-old cosmo denardo is a person of interest in the case

00:45:00denardo was arrested monday on weapons charges first filed in february for possession of a 20-gauge

00:45:05shotgun and ammo denardo's connection to the missing men is unclear but he's being held on one million

00:45:11dollars bail the judge said a very high bill on the charges we didn't want him absconding on anything

00:45:20because we were pretty certain that he was the individual that was involved in these missing boys

00:45:26and when the rush lab results come back the blood samples match dean finnicaro investigators fear

00:45:33their missing boys may not be coming back at all

00:45:43in bucks county four young men go missing jimmy patrick dean finnicaro mark sturgis and tom meo

00:45:52a few days later tom's cars found hidden in a shed owned by the family of their mutual friend 20-year-old

00:45:59cosmo denardo 24 hours after that one of the boys sneakers is located in a pile of dirt on the property

00:46:07later that same day a pool of dean finnicaro's blood is found in the nearby barn police close

00:46:14down the streets in the area to protect what's looking more and more like a massive crime scene

00:46:20then they bring in two cadaver dogs to try and sniff out what really happened at the soulberry farm

00:46:26they both searched the property they both hit on numerous locations on the property those hits

00:46:33indicated the potential of some type of decomposition from human remains

00:46:40from one location appeared to be fresh gravel laid out

00:46:45we utilized machinery to scrape the ground of the gravel once that gravel was removed we were able to

00:46:52locate an area of disturbance that was consistent with looking like a fresh grave site dug at a cemetery

00:47:00pretty much almost the same length maybe a little longer and a little wider

00:47:05so we actually had to protect our dig site because they were news helicopters and anything that was

00:47:12found we didn't want the news to find out first we wanted the families to not learn anything through

00:47:18it through the media we started digging we had shovels hand shovels every five gallon bucket of dirt that we

00:47:32filled had to be sifted for evidence that's exactly what you think it is it's painstaking and a long process

00:47:41and it took several people

00:47:48as we're digging up the soil we're locating fresh grass that was cut leaves of corn that were two feet

00:47:55down in the ground where would you get a fresh leaf of corn two feet in the ground obviously it's showing

00:48:01us that we're headed in the right direction this has just been here just dug just covered we're processing it

00:48:08i'm covering it but the sweltering july heat forces officers to work more slowly and in shifts

00:48:18meticulously digging down four feet five feet deeper and deeper it takes hours more than 200 officers

00:48:28are part of the effort it's like nothing anyone's ever seen in bucks everybody stood up to the plate

00:48:36it was personal for everybody it was like their own kids they wanted to be part of that they wanted

00:48:41to get this done and they wanted to bring those young men home in some way shape or form to those

00:48:46families talking to police officials you could tell this was taking a toll on them and they looked

00:48:54exhausted they sounded exhausted they were just emotionally drained they're in the sun they're dealing

00:49:01with a stressful case they're dealing with the families who are concerned and nervous

00:49:10family members of the missing are maintaining a vigil at the search site authorities reassure

00:49:14them this mystery will be solved to help prepare the families for whatever might be found the bucks

00:49:22county da's office brings in nova the network of victim assistance so when we are with the families we

00:49:29are there for physical support for emotional support we are there to answer their questions to try to get

00:49:35answers for them we were basically in a cornfield 90 degree weather so part of what we were doing was

00:49:42making sure that there was food for the families water that they had shelter from the sun there was

00:49:48media everywhere so part of our job was to make sure that the media was not coming down to where the

00:49:54families were nobody really knew what was going to happen next what the information was going to be

00:50:01given next um so it was just very on edge a lot it was just totally out of this world uh all these people

00:50:12visiting the site

00:50:16people would drive up and stop and get out of their car and come over and see us

00:50:19and give us a hug and it's melder made us feel so much better you know i didn't know somebody else

00:50:28cared about our son and the other boys the love that they were showing there you didn't want to go home

00:50:38but you had to you're exhausted you're totally exhausted

00:50:43you couldn't do anything there was nothing we could do except stand there and wait

00:50:49we just lived if we slept we woke up we got up we went to the farm we stayed there all day i had to

00:50:58be there i could not not be there i slept in my car and i lived close by i didn't want to leave until

00:51:10we knew they weren't there there's definitely a huge outpouring of support the local fire department

00:51:18provided areas to go to use the bathroom or get out of the heat if we needed that there were other

00:51:23businesses that would bring food there was a lot of support for the families

00:51:33there was this unease in the air everyone knew something was up nobody knew exactly what it was

00:51:41some people started posting on social media that they were nervous

00:51:45nobody really knew the full picture but everyone was worried

00:51:52good evening everybody tom sophiel from levittown now and newtownpanow.com i'm coming to you uh live

00:51:59on facebook live uh with a little q a on the search for the four men in bucks county i know there are some

00:52:08rumors out there that the bodies of the four men were discovered tonight in sulbury we can't confirm

00:52:16in speaking with multiple police sources that that information is not true 38 hours into the search

00:52:24police are still digging and digging at the dinardo farm then 12 feet down a shovel hits something

00:52:32and the sound blows a hole through the heart of bucks county

00:52:39we hit a metal object and it was determined that

00:53:09that it was an oil tank which the dinardo family had converted into what they call a pig rooster

00:53:17once we uncovered the top layer of the tank we then send a telescoping camera into the tank to see

00:53:25if there's anything within it the camera goes in there and we locate a boot

00:53:30belonging to one of the missing young men

00:53:37yep

00:53:41everyone just kind of fell silent for a while and then

00:53:43we had to move on we had to keep doing our jobs that we were there to do

00:53:51it was hard to at that moment in time really contemplate what was going on

00:53:57but again we got to get our heads back in the investigation and move forward

00:54:00and try to find answers for each of these families

00:54:03to see what else is in the hole they have to get out that pig roaster

00:54:10but first they have to shore up the sides to prevent a cave-in

00:54:18no one in bucks county knows how serious things have gotten at the dinardo farm but they do know an

00:54:23army of cops have taken over and police have arrested cosmo

00:54:27so it comes as a complete shock when the 20 year old is released after his parents pony up

00:54:34one hundred thousand dollars in bail money everyone was kind of curious was he involved in the

00:54:41disappearance what was his role in it everyone was trying to find the answer everyone was trying to

00:54:47figure out who's cosmo denardo what's his connection at that point we didn't know if cosmo denardo was

00:54:53officially a suspect but we knew it was his family's farm we didn't know his involvement in it but

00:55:00there were all these rumors that kids who went to school with him were talking about it

00:55:05we had help from uh friends of uh the the missing boys uh even of cosmo's friends that were saying hey

00:55:13maybe you should look at this we were following up on several leads from social media there was a

00:55:21picture that came out with him with the revolver with an insane look on his face holding the revolver

00:55:27up jordan's gun clips and ammo shown in pictures shared on cosmo denardo's flicker account it almost

00:55:36seemed like he was a caricature from a tv show there were all these different rumors that he was a big

00:55:43time drug dealer or that he was someone who had flash cash all the time or someone who maybe just

00:55:49talked about it a lot and considering the dinardo family was involved in the construction business

00:55:55there were rumors based on stereotypes that maybe the mob was involved or maybe some large criminal

00:56:00organization maybe the whole family was involved it was an overwhelming just rainstorm of information it

00:56:08almost washed you out because you couldn't keep up with the rumors and figuring out what was true and

00:56:12what wasn't it was just overwhelming how much information we were getting um the problem was

00:56:21sifting through it because you never know um it's a big puzzle if if that's the one missing part

00:56:28and at the time you may not realize it but later on somebody may be like hey that that one thing

00:56:36might be the key to it but one story seems as solid as that pig roaster they're struggling to get out

00:56:43of the ground at the dinardo farm on the afternoon of saturday july 8th just a few hours before dean

00:56:52finnicaro tom meal and mark sturges were reported missing cosmo was looking to make some fast cash

00:56:59a friend of cosmo's uh had run into him at a local convenience store and cosmo had asked him if he

00:57:12would want to purchase a nissan maxima for 500 a nissan maxima the same exact car owned by tom meal

00:57:21and found hidden in the shed at the dinardo farm it's enough to put cosmo back in jail

00:57:3020 year old cosmo dinardo the sole person of interest in this case was arrested wednesday

00:57:35for stealing tom meal's car and trying to sell it two days after meal vanished the prosecutor during

00:57:41the arraignment before a district judge called him a dangerous person and bail was set at five

00:57:46million dollars cash bail five million definitely sent the message that he was a suspect

00:57:57in the end of the day out at the dig site day gives way to night 50 hours of non-stop digging

00:58:05progress is slow no one knows what they'll find but they brace for the worst as we were recovering

00:58:13what was now known to be the pig roaster a strong smell of gasoline started to be present and actually

00:58:23fans were brought in to draw out the strong smell of gasoline because it actually became a hazardous

00:58:27situation when we did recover the tanker the gasoline smell started to go away

00:58:37after the tank was lifted uh there was a smell and we all are familiar with what that smell is

00:58:47july 12th 2017 is shaping up to be the darkest day in bucks county history

00:59:03after an oil tank that's been converted into a pig roaster is pulled from a pit on the dinardo farm

00:59:09right underneath that oil tank was a blue tarp and right as we started to move that blue tarp there

00:59:17was a red shirt and i was able to identify that immediately as the shirt that dean was wearing

00:59:23the night he went missing

00:59:24good evening i'm matt weintrope bucks county district attorney i'm here to make an announcement

00:59:38about a significant development in the investigation that you've all been following so patiently

00:59:44so diligently we have found human remains in an approximately 12 and a half foot

00:59:52deep common grave when you want to be a police officer you don't want to solve murder your job is to

01:00:06make sure that doesn't happen and knowing that

01:00:18knowing that this happened while you're working

01:00:22it's going to be a police officer and there's nothing you can do about it you know kind of gets to you

01:00:34and i'm very very sad to say that we can now identify dean fanocciaro 19 years old of middletown

01:00:43as one of the people that was found buried in that grave

01:00:52they found the remains of dean

01:01:02it was gut-wrenching

01:01:03the nightmare was true

01:01:11i still can't process it you know it's just it's

01:01:23you can't control it you can't do anything about it we i knew my son was gone by then it was just

01:01:30confirmation on that um

01:01:35you know plan a funeral

01:01:43things became real

01:01:48you know that if they found one person that they're probably more likely to find everyone

01:01:54you know as much as you were sitting there trying to hold on to hope

01:02:02and

01:02:04you know everyone wants hope

01:02:07but once they found dean

01:02:18and my my heart as much as i would say that i knew before

01:02:24being presented with facts is

01:02:27difficult

01:02:37we streamed the district attorney's press conference live at midnight and it was midnight a lot of people

01:02:43were asleep but immediately after i think people were texting friends and family and letting them know

01:02:50and it just spread like wildfire

01:02:53so this painstaking process will go on

01:02:57we're not done yet

01:03:00you're hearing these updates that they're digging and you're trying to put your own

01:03:03pieces together and then you ultimately hear that they find

01:03:06you know remains at the farm it was just so sad and so upsetting and

01:03:13just unbelievable really

01:03:14this is now a 24-hour operation and overnight after we recovered the body of dean finnicaro

01:03:27the body of tom mayo was found immediately underneath dean

01:03:32and the next morning when i arrived we were then recovering the body of mark sturgis on top of each

01:03:39other the positions in which the young men were found kind of showed us that they were just kind

01:03:47of dumped in there and the oil tank was pressed down on top of them and then dirt was covered the rest of them

01:04:00up until that point you're a police officer for 18 years and you see

01:04:06you see a lot of dead bodies

01:04:09but to see 12 feet down

01:04:26you know a body part here and a body part there

01:04:47i just never thought i'd see that

01:04:50matt weintraub came down and he told me

01:05:06he said thomas thomas's body was

01:05:08um identified and um i said yeah thomas's body was identified and

01:05:24you're in shock it's it's like undescribable how how you're in shock you you hear these words you're you

01:05:33know

01:05:37but to actually um

01:05:44really understand them and

01:05:51i still have a hard time processing it you know i

01:05:56you don't want to accept it

01:06:05you don't want to accept it and i don't know if i i want i still don't want to accept it

01:06:10but it's it's the truth so

01:06:24as the mid-july sun rises over bucks county the air is thick with humidity and sadness

01:06:31now that the question of where dean finnicaro tom meal and mark sturgis ended up has finally been

01:06:38answered but the search is not over as we processed this hole further we got to a point where we

01:06:47realized that there was no further jimmy patrick would not be located in that hole

01:06:53we know we still have this vast amount of property that we can still search even more

01:06:59we are sending teams out to look in the woods look everywhere and we're going to do everything in our

01:07:06possible power to locate jimmy patrick

01:07:10even if that means making a deal with the one person they are certain knows exactly where to find

01:07:28cops in bucks county have cosmo denardo behind bars for trying to sell tom meal's car

01:07:34but they believe he's done so much worse during the course of this investigation we knew cosmo denardo

01:07:42was involved with with all four individuals jimmy patrick dean finnicaro thomas mayo mark

01:07:50sturgis we knew cosmo denardo had contact with them all with the week or weeks prior

01:07:56and after discovering a mountain of evidence including three bodies dean's cell phone and tom's

01:08:05car prosecutors reached out to cosmo's lawyer the district attorney said we'll take the death penalty

01:08:13off the table if you tell us what happened and where jimmy patrick's body was because police weren't

01:08:19sure they would ever find it especially with the size of the denardo farm

01:08:26with his life on the line cosmo takes the deal

01:08:32police record his confession

01:08:33you guys are digging right here yep there's three bodies there okay

01:08:43the fourth one is right there okay

01:08:46in the backfield there's stone pile here right by road iron fencing

01:08:57i receive a phone call while i'm on site at the farm indicating that they possibly have a location

01:09:02of where jimmy patrick may be buried while police are on the move the heat wave in bucks county finally

01:09:11breaks as dark clouds roll in the heavens open up pouring down like a torrent of tears

01:09:19as if trying to spare everyone from seeing there's more sadness buried in that dark soulberry soil

01:09:29tonight a source close to the investigation tells nbc10 denardo told police where to find the fourth

01:09:34body as workers loaded up on fresh rain boots and gear to keep the tents above the dig sites dry

01:09:41we start digging in that site late thursday evening almost into friday morning

01:09:50it was an hour or two after midnight going into friday when we came across jimmy patrick's remains in the

01:09:58ground we were at the detective's office and i said what's happening with jimmy you know where's jimmy

01:10:08and he said come with me you know into this room and we went into the room and he said that um

01:10:15that jimmy was dead but jimmy was dead and i said no that's probably not right

01:10:22because you know i know he that can't be because um you know jimmy was a smart kid and you know and he said

01:10:31and he said he was dead it was like the worst day of my life

01:10:45i'm sorry

01:10:45it was like a dream you know i'd wake up and maybe i was dreaming and maybe it didn't happen and even to

01:10:48this day i feel

01:11:16did this really happen to me you know in my life i never experienced anything

01:11:24anything anywhere like this it's just totally uh unlike my experience my life experience

01:11:32um but it did

01:11:42after finding jimmy patrick exactly where cosmo said he would be

01:11:47it's clear this monster is finally willing to cooperate even if it's just to save his own ass

01:11:52and once he opens up he has no problem giving a play-by-play of what happened to all four boys

01:12:01cosmo says he lured them to his family's getaway property with the promise of selling them a large

01:12:07quantity of marijuana for a low price on july 5th jimmy patrick was the first to go to the farm

01:12:14according to cosmo he showed up short of cash

01:12:17so we get there you know said okay well let me see the money so i go to count the money

01:12:25there's 800 bucks there so i look at him like yo bud like

01:12:29what ha ha he you know this is not a joke we get out of the truck and i shoot

01:12:36i go get the back up dig the hole you know said a prayer turn him in the hole

01:12:53two days later cosmo picks up dean finnecaro brings him out to the farm where he's killed in the barn

01:13:06the farm where he's killed in the hole and he's killed in the hole and he's killed in the hole

01:13:11an hour later he meets up with tom meal and mark sturgis and leads them to what's now become

01:13:17his own personal hunting ground so when they turn their backs on me i shoot tom in the back

01:13:25and drop him mark's like what the he was such a big kid i loaded the gun on

01:13:31cosmo says when the bullets ran out tom was still alive but paralyzed he's screaming going crazy i

01:13:42grab tobacco you know he sees that come and just shuts up and i just run him over drive over top of

01:13:50him drive right i thought what a sick individual the fact that he sounded arrogant and proud like he was

01:14:01telling a story uh like he had done something good it was disgusting

01:14:11cosmo just didn't express any remorse whatsoever it seemed like it was just free nature to him to go out

01:14:20and kill people he's a cold-blooded killer cosmo dinardo's told investigators he killed tom mayo

01:14:27mark sturgis dean finicero and jimmy patrick a dramatic climax to a five-day investigation that

01:14:35gripped a sleepy town in bucks county the first reaction by the public generally was a large sigh of

01:14:43relief this is now uh done and uh whatever was going on isn't going to happen anymore

01:14:53and then of course the attention was turned to why did this happen and uh how did this happen

01:15:01when you admitted to killing four people what do you have to say to these families i'm sorry why'd you do it

01:15:12when i think of that dinardo farm i think of that farm as a playground for evil acts

01:15:17i think that there is access time freedom to allow him to do what he did to these boys

01:15:27but no one in bucks county has any idea that there's another big surprise

01:15:35nice to meet you cosmo dinardo didn't act alone

01:15:55i don't know you probably know why we're here right yeah okay 20-year-old sean kratz is a petty

01:16:01criminal from philadelphia he's also cosmo dinardo's cousin and accomplice we want to

01:16:09ask you some questions so says cosmo dinardo when is the last time you saw a custom i hung out

01:16:16with him friday and i slept over his house as we processed these crime scenes investigators did

01:16:24question the fact that these especially the farm crime scene being so large could it be possible that

01:16:30one person be responsible for all of this and we you were you said it's friday you saw yes where

01:16:38he picked you up at my house he drove sean says he and cosmo then went to dean finnecaro's house to

01:16:45get him then they drove to the dinardo's soulberry farm sean says he stayed in the truck while cosmo and

01:16:53dean got out i see him go in the barn he comes back out alone who goes in the barn cosmo and a kid

01:17:03so you hear shots and you don't go in the barn at all no because but that's not what cosmo told

01:17:08detectives he admitted to killing jimmy patrick tom meal and mark sturges but he says dean finnecaro's

01:17:15murder was all sean you're on the hook unless you tell us the truth

01:17:27what happened i have no reason to harm anything you have a reason you have a reason to lie to this

01:17:33i can tell you that i was not lying you are lying because you shot this way in the head you shot that

01:17:39boy in the head the physical evidence supports exactly what cosmo said you said it yourself

01:17:46cosmo has a lot of money right cosmo family you don't right

01:17:56you rob these guys but that's not what cosmo said he stood up and told us the truth

01:18:02that you two planned to rob these guys you shot them and said cosmo and cosmo killed these

01:18:15and that's the truth that you know throughout the interview sean kratz maintains his innocence

01:18:25but after they put him on ice he has a change of heart and agrees to a plea deal that would keep him

01:18:30off death row

01:18:41finally knowing the truth of what happened on july 16 bucks county residents gathered together like

01:18:48they did just two weeks before on independence day

01:18:53but this time there's no marching bands children laughing

01:18:58or fireworks

01:19:06instead a sea of candles and solemn faces stand together to pray for those they lost

01:19:13and to ask that those responsible pay forever

01:19:16cosmo donardo was a predator and these young men were his prey and he didn't have any regard for them and he

01:19:34didn't have any regard for their lives he wanted them dead for the sport of killing them

01:19:41and he caused all of this grief all of this damage all of this carnage

01:19:50and he left a world of tears and sadness uh behind for others and uh for himself

01:19:59in may of 2018 cosmo donardo pleads guilty he is sentenced to four consecutive life terms

01:20:15without the possibility of parole for the murders of jimmy patrick

01:20:20mark sturgis tom meo and for luring dean finnecaro to his death i was glad he wasn't going to

01:20:28to leave prison and i was gonna try not to think about him ever again it's not worth it he's not worth

01:20:39worth that to me

01:20:49doesn't bring my son back but

01:20:53he belongs he belongs there forever he does for what he did to all them boys

01:20:59in 2019 sean kratz reneges on his plea deal and goes to trial he is convicted for the murder of dean

01:21:13finnecaro and for aiding and abetting in the murders of mark sturgis and tom meo he is also

01:21:20sentenced to life in prison

01:21:27it's a hole it's a hole in your life my kids are everything to me um

01:21:37losing a child and they everyone says it uh no one could uh you feel like you really can't

01:21:45express it and talk to someone unless they're going went through the same thing

01:21:51and it's the truth

01:21:54it's the truth it's a club that you don't want to be a part of

01:22:04tom

01:22:07the other boys as well they will never smile again

01:22:16four beautiful boys gone

01:22:21that's what i have to say about that

01:22:31as for bucks county the dark days of july 2017 have forever changed the area

01:22:44it doesn't take much to light the spark of a conversation about the cosmo di nardo case

01:22:57he will go down in history and infamy as a serial killer much to the dismay and sadness i'm sure of

01:23:08his family as well but that's just who he will be and it will be remembered i believe not only in this

01:23:15generation but it will be remembered for generations to come

01:23:21george washington will always be linked to bucks county

01:23:25and cosmo di nardo will always be linked to bucks county as well

01:23:38and the soulbury pd the white board used to piece together the investigation

01:23:46was never erased it still stands as a somber memorial

01:23:51i know

01:23:55i know a lot of police officers

01:24:00i know a lot of detectives

01:24:03and we will go on and we will do the job

01:24:18and if you think you're going to do this in bucks county you better think again

01:24:21because it will be investigated

01:24:27it will be prosecuted

01:24:30and you will go to jail for the rest of your life

01:24:42and you will go to jail for the rest of your life

01:25:01but perhaps the most tangible reminder that something terrible happened here

01:25:05today the dinardo farm is overgrown with weeds and ivy

01:25:14it's as if nature is trying to swallow the dark earth that allowed a serial killer to take root

01:25:20and thrive here
