The investigation found that the 68-year-old Fiel married Wife No. 6, but was still married for seven months before divorcing wife No. 5, authorities allege after reviewing marriage and divorce records.
The court affidavit states that Fiel married his fifth wife in October 2010 and got divorced in June 2023. Another marriage license filed in Bucks County Court showed Fiel and his current wife being married in November 2022.
Authorities said that indicated a seven-month overlap for the two marriages, court records state.
Detectives learned that when Fiel filled out his marriage application in September 2022, he stated his “last marriage” ended in divorce in September 2010.
Montgomery County records, though, show his 2010 divorce was to wife No. 4, the affidavit states.
Detectives then found three more wives, who may have been simultaneously married to Fiel in the 1980s.
Montgomery County records showed Fiel was still married to his second wife when he divorced his third wife in June 1986. He divorced his second wife in February 1988, according to the affidavit.
The detectives also found records showing Fiel married his second wife, five days after divorcing his first wife in July 1981.
When detectives interviewed Fiel, he admitted that several fields in the current marriage application contained wrong information, the affidavit said.
The detectives alleged the “same mistakes” were made on previous marriage licenses, court records state.
