There were a lot of signs he was heading for a violent psychotic break.
"Over the past six months, Mr. DiNardos volatility had become increasingly public. In February, a neighbor in Bensalem, where Mr. DiNardo still lived with his parents and three younger siblings, called the police after Mr. DiNardo was seen walking down the street, shooting a 20-gauge shotgun in the air. He admitted to an officer that he was not legally allowed to possess firearms because of his prior mental commitment, police records show.
On Snapchat, Mr. DiNardo ranted about seeking revenge, appearing bloody in one video after he said he got into a fight at a strip club. In a selfie, the one in which he appeared bare-chested and wild-eyed, he aimed a revolver mounted with a laser at the phone.
Over the Independence Day holiday, a few days before the four men went missing, he sent an ominous video warning in a private Snapchat message to a few dozen friends, according to a person who watched it. He threatened to kill people who owed him money and to get away with it, speaking while lying down with guns arrayed behind him."
Wonder where exactly the shooting in the air happened? Shooting a gun in the air in a congested area should be a straight ticket back to the mental hospital. He seems like he was asking for it almost. But they only got him for having the weapon.
"But the signs of a volatile, bullying personality became steadily more pronounced over time, especially after an ATV accident last year. "
Some have asked why no one searched for him but I would think they did.
Radar online reported that he was eventually found by his brother and Dad.

"According to various individuals close to DiNardo, a horrific ATV accident was what drove the mentally ill criminal to violent delusion. Last year, the 20-year-old allegedly crashed a four-wheeler while alone in the woods. He was stranded for hours, suffering from broken bones, until his father and younger brother found him. Pals seem to agree that he suffered serious head injuries and his mood became very dark.
That incident drove him over the edge. He was a more violent individual, said a longtime friend."
If he went out late sometimes, his family may not have started looking for him til the next afternoon. If he was passed out he might have been hard to find. I really don't think this was all fabricated. However crazy he was before got worse. And he wasn't exactly hiding it.
I don't think it matters though. His actions show he knew it was wrong. And he confessed with a lawyer present for a deal.
If he's psychotic, anything he says could be off. He might not know what is real. I knew an 19 year old schizophrenic guy..on meds, recently out of the hospital. He seemed mostly normal if eccentric but when he talked about his hallucinations he was very kooky and believed they were real. He wasn't violently dangerous but had no empathy and was often lost in his head. He was kind of dangerous in way in that he didn't really understand what was happening.
Cosmo had anger issues. Not good to lose what little control he had over that.
Something happened when he was 14 and he started talking about killing people. The start of schizophrenia or real acts... I wonder if they know yet? I'm sure LE will figure it out. If he really did it he would probably remember important details.
