Cosmo DiNardo, 20, confessed he murdered or participated in the murder of four men missing in Pennsylvania since last week, DiNardo’s lawyer said on Thursday, July 13. Another man, Sean Kratz, 20, of Northeast Philadelphia, was arrested in connection with the case on Friday, a source told ABC6.

DiNardo was initially arrested on Wednesday for trying to sell a car belonging to one of the missing men. He now faces four counts of criminal homicide, four counts of conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, four counts of abuse of a corpse, and three counts of robbery.

Kratz faces three counts each of criminal homicide, conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, abuse of a corpse, and robbery.

The four that went missing are Dean Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown Township; Thomas Meo, 21, of Plumstead Township; Mark Sturgis, 22, of Pennsburg; and Jimi Patrick, 19, of Newtown Township.
