Michael William Barber is a serial bigamist and conman who is
believed to have married at least 12 women, cheating many out of their
life savings.
Police say he used at least 20 different aliases including William Barber, Chris Barber, and Chris James, and had five different social security numbers.
Barber swept women off their feet and then he cleaned out their savings accounts, lied to them, cheated on them, and even allegedly abused some. He told one wife he was a surgeon on sabbatical, he told one he was a former professional football player, he told another he was a Vietnam vet, and yet another he was a bio-terrorism expert. He told people he was shot in Vietnam. He said John Ashcroft was a good friend of his. He even told one wife he had leukemia. Nothing he said was true.
