BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Cosmo DiNardo is serving consecutive life sentences for the deaths of four grisly killings on a Bucks County farm in 2017.
DiNardo, 23, pleaded guilty to the July 2017 shooting deaths of Dean Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown Township, Tom Meo, 21, of Plumstead Township, Mark Sturgis, 22, of Pennsburg, and Jimi Patrick, 19, of Newtown. Under a plea deal, he avoided the death penalty and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
The crime spree, which shocked the Philadelphia suburban community of Bucks County, is the subject of a two-hour Investigation Discovery show. The program, "The Lost Boys of Bucks County," premiers June 22.

All four men were shot and killed at DiNardo's family's farm in Solebury Township. DiNardo's cousin, Sean Kratz, has been jailed for life in connection with the shooting of Finocchiaro. The victims believed they were purchasing marijuana from DiNardo, who killed Patrick first and the other three in two separate altercations days later.
Authorities say DiNardo buried Patrick in a single grave and buried the other three victims in a 12-foot-deep common grave on the same property.
