They’re not sure the (whole) hole is new; some part of it may have already existed.
The family is in the concrete & construction businesses & presumably own heavy equipment. Makes it much easier than digging by hand.
A quarter pound is 4 ounces. I can get pretty decent (not the absolute best) weed right now for $320 an ounce. At quarter pound weights there aren’t necessarily discounts, but if there is, $1,000 even is what I’d expect. Yeah, “several thousand” sounds like police exaggeration, like “several plants with a street value of 1/4 million dollars”.
Maybe he suspected they were informants since his name is an anagram of “Does narc doom.”
I just read that there’s another person of interest the police are talking to in regard to the murders. I don’t know if an arrest has been made.
What was up with the shoes? Was that a random detail, or is the guy suspected of killing people and keeping their shoes as mementos or something?
Cosmo & his cousin have now been charged with murder; should make for an interesting next family get-together.
Family barbecues are going to be a bitch.
I read this morning that DeNardo had been previously involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation, and has recently been charged with carrying a gun illegally, having been an involuntary mental detainee.
Not to hijack but, wasn’t one of Trump’s first great “accomplishments” rescinding the restriction on mentally ill people owning guns?
Are you talking about the Social Security representative-payee thing? That’s the closest thing I am aware of to your claim, but I certainly wouldn’t claim all the rep-payee recipients are “mentally ill”.
I will say that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) is still very much in effect, and it is still unlawful for “a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been admitted to a mental institution” “to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”
TL;DR = If you are “mentally ill”, you can still get locked up for possessing a firearm.
Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you for clearing that up. I only read the headlines when that happened and it may have been (probably was) misrepresented.
I’ll never look at a pig roaster the same again.

Although it doesn’t seem big enough for a person. Certainly not three.
They buried the first victim with a backhoe. They certainly could have done the same with the others. Instead of barbecuing them.
I just heard on NBC News that the amount of marijuana in question was 4 pounds, not 1/4 pound. 
There’s no fucking way his parents didn’t know about all this.
Why not?
Blood and guts on the backhoe? It was used to crush one victim and used to dump burned bodies into a hole.
Just wait until dear old dad tries to fire up the pig roaster on Labor Day.
They’ll probably make a horror flick based on this story. It’s right up there with Texas Chainsaw Massacre
This isn’t something anyone should make jokes about.
Any further updates?
We’re discussing this extensively on another website, and we all think this is going to go much deeper than we think at the time - the evidence equivalent of the 12-foot hole, if you will. I for one don’t think this is the first time Cosmo has killed someone.
Cosmo DiNardo. Not a joke, that’s his real name. See the problem?
I don’t know if that’s the inspiration or not, but Seinfield was on TV 20 years ago. He wouldn’t be the first person named after a TV character.
