The body of a missing man has been identified among the remains in a common grave discovered in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. He was one of four men, who recently went missing in the rural area.
The body belonged to Dean Finocchiaro, 19, who disappeared from his Middletown Township home on Friday, July 7.
“This was a homicide. Make no doubt about it,” said Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub during a late Wednesday night press conference, according to Thursday, July 13, release.
Cadaver dogs led investigators to the 12-foot deep grave on Wednesday. It is still possible bodies of the other three missing men will be identified among the remains inside.
Still not accounted for are Thomas Meo, 21, of Plumstead Township; Mark Sturgis, 22, of Pennsburg; and Jimi Patrick, 19, of Newtown Township.
Patrick has been missing since July 5; the others since July 7.
“We’re going to bring each of these lost boys home to their families, one way or another,” Weintraub said.
Police focused the search for four days on the land around properties owned by Antonio and Sandra Dinardo, as their son Cosmo, 20, has been identified as a “person of interest” in the case.
