Arrest Made Amid Search for Four Missing Pennsylvania Men

MYSTERIOUS

Authorities say foul play is almost certainly involved.

As authorities in Pennsylvania began searching a large Bucks County farm Monday for clues in the disappearance of four young men, police arrested the son of the farm’s owners. Cosmo DiNardo, 20, was taken into custody and held on $1 million bail in connection with a gun charge from last February. It was not immediately clear whether he is suspected of involvement in the four young men’s disappearance, but he has been tied to several homes searched by investigators in recent days, according to ABC News’ Philadelphia affiliate. The cellphone of one of the men who disappeared was traced back to the Solebury Township farm owned by DiNardo’s parents Saturday. Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub has said foul play is suspected in the disappearance of Mark Sturgis, 22; Tom Meo, 21; Dean Finocchiaro, 19; and Jimi Tar Patrick, 19. Patrick has been missing since last Wednesday, while the three others were last seen Friday. Weintraub said police have “very hot” leads in the investigation, though he declined to elaborate, saying only that there is “information that I know that I can’t share.”
