Tom Meo, 21, of Plumstead, Mark Sturgis, 22, of Pennsburg, Deam Finocchiaro, 19, of Middletown, and Jimi Tar Patrick, 19, of Newtown Township, were all reported missing last week, Weintraub said at a news conference on Monday.
Investigators found the body of Dean Finocchiaro, 19, who disappeared last Friday, in a "common grave" on the 90-acre farm in Solebury Township, Philadelphia. Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub called it a homicide but he did give any more specifics at this time.
4 missing "boys" have added up to a big mystery in Pennsylvania, but Bucks County authorities are pursuing all leads and investigators now say they have identified a man as "person of interest" in the case.
Finocchiaro was last seen around 6:30 p.m. Friday getting into a vehicle at Hampton Drive in Middletown Township, according to WPVI. 20-year-old Cosmo Dinardo is accused of stealing and then trying to sell Meo's auto, with the missing man's diabetes medicine still inside.
According to Weintraub, a search will continue at the farm, owned by Antonio and Sandra Dinardo, located along Route 202 and Aquetong Road in Solebury, on Thursday, as he swore to continue the investigation until all four men have been returned to their families "one way or another".
DiNardo was described as a person of interest in the investigation after he was first arrested on Monday on an unrelated gun charge. When DiNardo was found, he was in possession of a 20-gauge shotgun and relating ammunition.
The timeline of events in Bucks County started last weekend when family members of the four missing men began reporting them missing.

He wound up leaving her office and getting a new job that July, which is when he allegedly began sharing the explicit content. McCullum faces two counts of cyberstalking and Browne-Louis faces two counts of obstruction of justice.
The FBI was searching the property because of tips.
A drug-dealer has confessed to murdering four missing men and burning their bodies at his family's farm in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
It is now unclear how, if at all, the four men knew DiNArdo. DiNardo was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly trying to sell Tom Meo's 1996 Nissan Maxima for $500. It is understood the two are friends.
Cosmo DiNardo, 20, is charged with all four homicides and 20 other counts, including abuse of corpse, conspiracy and robbery, according to court documents.
Finocchiario and Patrick were reported missing last week, while Meo and Sturgis were reported missing on Sunday. The victims' families have been at the scene hoping to learn more about what may have happened to their loved ones.
DiNardo's bail was set at $5 million in cash, the highest that Bucks County Magisterial District Judge Maggie Snow has ever set, she said.
