Premiering on Monday, June 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on Investigation Discovery, the gripping two-hour special The Lost Boys of Bucks County unravels the shocking serial murders that rocked Bucks County to its core.
The nightmare began on July 5, 2017, when 19-year-old Jimi Patrick, of Newtown Township, went missing. Within two days, three other young men in nearby communities – Dean Finocchiaro (19), Tom Meo (21) and Mark Sturgis (22) – all seemed to vanish without a trace.
ID exposes the harrowing investigation which confounded law enforcement and speaks to the devastated families.
Over the course of two days in July 2017, fear gripped the Bucks County community as the young men went missing without a trace. As families became increasingly desperate for answers, local police teamed up with FBI agents to try and piece together a seemingly random puzzle that crossed various jurisdictions.
After days of sifting through clues, they found a person of interest with connections to the missing boys – Cosmo Dinardo. Under interrogation, the 20-year-old claimed no involvement in their disappearances, but when evidence suggested there was more to his story, a massive search effort ensued on the Dinardos’ sprawling property.
When additional evidence was unearthed, Dinardo had no choice but to confess, along with his accomplice Sean Kratz.
