In April of 2025, Detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division (CID) initiated an investigation involving bigamy, after a report was filed. Throughout the investigation, Detectives found Harry Irvine Burdick Jr. to have three marriage licenses with three different women. All three marriages took place in North Carolina, in Lincoln County, Davidson County, and Guilford County. Detectives were unable to locate divorce proceedings before Mr. Burdick had already married two other women. On Friday, August 22, 2025, Mr. Burdick was arrested and charged with two counts of felony bigamy. Financial motivation and personal gain were the motives for Burdick.
Mr. Burdick was released on a written promise to appear in court, with his first appearance scheduled for September 22, 2025, at the Davidson County Courthouse. We believe there could additional victims for this investigation. If you or someone you know has been legally married without a divorce to Mr. Burdick, please contact Detective Foushee at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office (336) 236-3365
