I think everyone has missed the true cray cray… Quote “A post on his Facebook page advertised seven new pairs of name-brand sneakers. A Flickr account belonging to someone of the same name contains 187 photos of shoes, including Nikes and Air Jordans, many pairs taken with a sign with his name and the date written on it. Some images from 2014 show bullets set up next to the shoes.” From [this Philly.com](http://www.philly.com/philly/news/crime/searchers-resume-sifting-searching-on-bucks-farm-for-4-missing-men-20170712.html) story ---

Sounds like they paid a bail bondsman the hundred thousand dollars. From [philly.com](http://philly.com), “Already jailed Monday on unrelated firearms charges, DiNardo was released late Tuesday after posting bond for his $1 million bail.” ---

I’ve been following this and it seems like it gets stranger and stranger each day. I hadn’t seen about the grand jury and I’m not sure I follow or I missed something. What exactly is the grand jury being called for? Are they trying to bring charges against the parents of the guy with the weapons offense? I’m missing pieces. ---

I took a day trip to Peddler’s Village (a nice “village” of shops about ten minutes from New Hope) on my day off yesterday. Coming from South Jersey as I do, I usually go through Lambertville and through New Hope on Bridge Street to avoid paying tolls. Well, driving down 202, I drove by about fifteen news vans, and reporters with cameras set up and everything. I asked the first shop employee I saw and she brought me up to speed. (I haven’t been watching much TV news recently, getting my news from [AOL.com](http://AOL.com) or other online sources, and lately I’ve been concentrating more on national/international stuff than local, so I missed the story up to now.) Walking around the shops yesterday, I kept looking up to see news helicopters hovering over the area. I feel awful for the families of those four boys. Whatever we find out, I hope justice is served. ---

This is making news all the way down here in Texas for some reason. I think the guy was arrested twice. The first time the bond was one million. The second time he was arrested only 2 or three days later, the bond was five million. His family got him out both times. I recall from the news story that one guy went missing on Wednesday and then three more went missing on Friday. I also recall that a police car with a license plate scanner had tagged both the (now) suspect’s truck and at least one potential victims car as being in the same place at the same time on Friday. I suppose the cars were parked somethwhere. I think those scanners are used as a police car drives through a parking lot. I see the NYT story from the 12th has a bit of odd phrasing: The story says a 9single) body was found and identified, butthat it was found “in a 12.5-foot-deep “common grave” on the Bucks County farm,”. I’m not sure if the guy is just a nut (he has mental health history that prevents him from owing a gun) who has suddenly decided to kill off all his friends/coworkers, if it’s a drugdeal-gone-bad story, or if he’s a serial killer (all those shoes, some of which look used, and the bullets, but I guess it’s more likely he’s just a shoe nut who wears them a time or two). ---

Bucks County, my adopted home. I will not enter this on the list of mass killings until more facts come to light. ---

Not a serial killer, as he apparently did not kill over a length of time. Most likely someone who just “snapped” or a spree killer. This story just started to make the local 1010 WINS (New York City) news last night with the suspected killer’s arrest. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > Dad gave the court a cashier’s check for $100 large; posting 10% cash is standard. Then I remain a little confused. If the kid skipped bail, they were just going to bill him for the other $900K? Or was the other 90% from property rather than cash? I’m familiar with the “pay a bondsman a 10% fee to guarantee the full bail amount” model, but not the “your bail is set at $1 million, but we’ll be nice and let you put up $100K instead” model. ---

I think that the bail bondman is responsible for the money if the guy skips. He still gets away for only 100k, though. ---

> [@Paul\_in\_Qatar](#): > > Bucks County, my adopted home. > > I will not enter this on the list of mass killings until more facts come to light. I work in the County and word on the street here is that four bodies have been found buried 12’+ underground (and under an old oil burner tank). Only one body, that of Dean Foccachio (sp?), was identified at the midnight press briefing. The speculation is that the other human remains were – maybe – in more gruesome shape ☹ There have been some odd disappearances here in the last few months, including a partially burned body of a man that turned up last week. However, Philly is a violent place and it’s not unusual for bodies to be dumped up here in more rural areas. Again, this is what the local buzz is so it comes with a FWIW, YMMV, Social Media speculations, etc. ---

I hope I’m not being ghoulish in this thread. I have some minor connections to the young men, including the suspect, and some colleagues have strong connections to the men and their families. Closely following the details of the situation is my way of trying to make sense of senseless violence ☹ ---
