Cosmo DiNardo confessed to the killings, and gave investigators the information to find a body of one of the missing men. District Attorney Matthew Weintraub gave a press conference on Friday, July 14, where she said the body would not have been found on the massive DiNardo farm if they had not struck a plea deal, which removed the death penalty from the case.
