Cosmo DiNardo Said He Killed Woman, Man In The Past: Report

The 20-year-old man charged with killing four of his acquaintances at his family's sprawling Bucks County farm told investigators the alleged murder spree was not his first time committing homicide, according to a new report by NBC10. The station reports that when Cosmo DiNardo, a Bensalem resident, confessed to killing four young men last week, he also told investigators he had previously murdered a woman and a man in Philadelphia.

The report, which cites law enforcement sources, does not have specifics about the alleged murders or when they may have happened, but NBC10 says DiNardo told Bucks County detectives he killed a woman in the basement of a Philadelphia home. DiNardo provided the nickname of a man he said he killed, the report said.

It's not the first time the news of possible additional murders by DiNardo has been reported — The New York Times on Monday also had similar information allegedly revealed during the confession. However, the latest report by NBC10 provides additional details into what DiNardo told investigators about the killings. You can read the full report here.

When asked about the New York Times report on Monday, Larry King, a spokesman with the Bucks County District Attorney's office, said the agency has made no public comments about the contents of DiNardo’s statement beyond what appears in the probable cause affidavit released on Friday.

"Anything he may have said beyond that would be investigative material that we would not discuss publicly," King said.

Philadelphia Police Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum told Patch his agency is investigating links to DiNardo but so far has found nothing concrete.

DiNardo has been charged with homicide in connection with the deaths of Jimi Taro Patrick, 19, of Newtown; Dean Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown Township; Thomas Meo, 21, of Plumstead Township; and Mark Sturgis, 22. His cousin, 20-year-old Sean Kratz, faces homicide charges in the deaths of Meo, Finocchiaro and Sturgis

Authorities say the cousins lured their acquaintances to a rural Bucks County property with the promise of selling them marijuana then fatally shot them and buried their bodies.

Services for the young men are scheduled for this week.
