Authorities say Harry Burdick married three women in three counties—without divorcing any of them—and may have done it all for financial gain.
Police started looking into Burdick in April 2025, when someone tipped off the sheriff’s office about his suspicious marital history. Detectives went digging—and found three marriage licenses under his name, filed in Lincoln, Davidson, and Guilford counties.
It didn’t take long before investigators realized Burdick may have been living a triple life.
Bigamy Charges & Accusations of Financial Exploitation
On August 22, 2025, Harry Burdick was arrested and slapped with two counts of felony bigamy. Authorities say Burdick allegedly used each marriage possibly for financial gain.
Between 2021 and 2024, Burdick reportedly played a long con—building trust, then allegedly bleeding bank accounts dry before sliding into a new county and saying “I do” again.
Meanwhile, another potential victim has come forward, and the sheriff’s office believes more wives may be out there.Â
Though Burdick’s not behind bars—he was released on a written promise to appear—his first court date is set for September 22, 2025, at the Davidson County Courthouse.
