we'll see if that one will be extended and then we'll move up the road into sections of mercer county, also into ocean, burlington county, watching for winds in excess of 60 miles per hour. so that's the latest on ultimate doppler we'll continue to foil back over to you. >> we'll check back with you scott momentarily. we have major breaking news in the case of four missing men in bucks county. >> let's get out to chris o'connell and dave schratwieser who have been following -- let's get out to dave schratwieser outside the bucks county courthouse in doylestown. so dave, what are you hearing? >> reporter: all right iain really really fast-moving developments in this case in the last 15 minutes. we got the to see cosmo dinardo carted off in leg irons and handcuffs and we heard from his attorney about the situation now saying that cosmo has confessed to the murders. listen now as cosmo gets peppered for questions and then his attorney tells us about the confession. >> mr. dinardo this evening

confessed to the district attorney. he confessed to his participation or commission in the murders of the four young men. in exchange for that confession, mr. dinardo was promised by the district attorney that he will spare his live by not invoking the death penalty. >> cosmo what do you say to the families. >> -- for cosmo to be very honest forth right and truthful in what occurred within the last week and a half. >> mr. cosmos did give that full confession, and he was very forth right and gave all relevant details that he can. >> reporter: now again, that's paul lange1 of three attorneys for cosmo dinardo. cosmo dinardo left here about five minutes ago in a sheriff's van. peppered by questions from reporters about what he had to say to the victims family. he did say i'm sorry at one point. and then got in the van the

doors were closed and he was carted back to the bucks county jail. lots of quick-moving developments. there was grand jury going on all day today. some people went in there. cosmo dinardo' parents were supposed to go in. they did not. he sat down with investigators. gave them the details, the whereabouts of the bodies, all four bodies from what we're being told. some weapons that were involved, and other specific details which they would not reveal. the district attorney matt weintraub is expected to announce something later tonig tonight. he told me and chris o'connell a short time ago he wasn't sure if he was going to be announced murder charges to night but i would bet at this hour that's a good possibility. i will also tell you that within the last half hour, another individual was brought in to the detective building behind me. we do not know who that individual was. sources are telling me they were look to go see if anyone else was involved in this crime. if they were, you can bet they're going to get lock up, too. now, i understand dawn and iain

have a couple questions. go ahead guys. >> iain -- dave, have you heard anything at all about a possible motive? i know matt weintraub is being very tight lipped about everything. what are you hearing there? >> reporter: again, one more time. a lot of noise out here one more time on the question, please. >> are you hearing anything at all about a possible motive? i know the district attorney has kept everything close to the vest. but are you hearing why this possibly has happened? >> reporter: we've heard several different things. my sources are telling me this appears to be drug related. it may be related to the sale of marijuana, possibly some debts involving marijuana but, again, the district attorney has offered no specifics. when we pressed paul lange for specification about the confession did he not give any. he said he did not want to go into specifics until this was all wrapped up, and charges were filed. we understand this is a rather lengthy confession. it was very detailed from what we understand.

investigators spent hours tal talking to cosmo dinardo now we hear there might possibly a second person or others. we do not know at this point, but all along there's been some thought that more than one person had to participate in this. given the fact that four young men disappeared and are apparently now gone. >> all right. dave schratwieser of course i know you'll continue to follow up and we will check back with you with any new developments. thanks for your hard work, dave. >> meantime of course the other top story we've been following is a tornado warning in our area. here is a look at the philadelphia skyline. you can see that it is dark and looks ominous out there. meteorologist scott williams has been on top of this much what's the latest? >> tornado warning has been allowed to expire for those areas we were watching north and west of the philadelphia. but take a look. the entire area pretty much sections of south jersey that includes gloucester, camden, burlington ocean county mercer county and also north and west still under that severe thunderstorm watch until 9:00 o'clock tonight. ultimate doppler still lit up especially north of
