Davidson County, NC – A shocking case of bigamy has come to light in North Carolina, where Harry Burdick Jr. is accused of being legally married to three different women at the same time, each in a separate county. Authorities say that Burdick also maintained a relationship with a fourth woman, revealing a complex web of deceit allegedly driven by financial motives.
The story emerged after a months-long investigation by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, which announced that Burdick was charged with two counts of felony bigamy. The investigation began in April following a report that led deputies to uncover the multiple simultaneous marriages across Davidson, Guilford, and Lincoln counties, all located centrally in North Carolina.

Investigators believe this was a deliberate scheme with financial motivation and personal gain driving his actions.
Law enforcement suspects that this was a recurring behavior pattern where Burdick would marry a woman, benefit financially, then move on to another marriage without ending the previous one. Adding complexity, a fourth woman reportedly came forward claiming a romantic relationship with Burdick as well…
