True Crime Special On Solebury Farm Murders Airs Monday

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Nearly three years after the gruesome murders that put Bucks County in national headlines, television producers are releasing a two-hour true crime program exploring the killings.

"The Lost Boys of Bucks County" will premiere at 9 p.m. on Monday, June 22 on Investigation Discovery.

The television special will delve into the July 2017 Cosmo DiNardo murders in Solebury Township. It follows the story of four men, who all went missing within days of each other, and who were all later found dead on the same Bucks County farm.

After several harrowing days, investigators arrested 21-year-old DiNardo, whose family owned the farm where the bodies were buried. Later, in confession tapes, DiNardo would admit to the killings. He is now serving consecutive life sentences for the murders.

In a matter-of-fact tone, he later graphically described the gruesome details of the murders, telling investigators the killing spree began on July 5 over a botched drug deal with his first victim, 19-year-old Jimi Taro Patrick of Newtown. Later victims were Dean Finocchiaro, 19, Thomas Meo, 21, and Mark Sturgis, 22.

DiNardo's cousin, Sean Kratz, is serving life in prison in connection with Finocchiaro's death.

The show, according to Story House Productions, will focus on the investigation; specifically, the work of Middletown Township Office Megan Freer. Freer was given the Award of Valor by the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia for her work in the case.

Here's what producers have said about the show thus far:

"In a gripping limited true-crime special produced by Story House Productions, The Lost Boys of Bucks County unravels the shocking serial murders that set ablaze a small community and rocked it to its core. Over the course of two days in July 2017, five young men go missing in an idyllic, sleepy suburb of Philadelphia. Blue blood born-and-bred Megan Freer is new to the force, but what she lacks in experience she makes up for in instinct and not only a connection to the area, but also to the families of some of the lost boys that further fuels her passion for justice. In the face of great evil, Freer is thrust into a dark and twisted path, forced to follow her intuition to put together the pieces hiding in plain sight that bring a brutal serial killer to justice."
