Kimberly Tempel (Vanderburgh County Jail)
An Indiana woman is facing charges of bigamy and falsifying a marriage license application after police say she tied the knot with her biological father — while already hitched to another man — in an attempt to get her dad’s $350 monthly payments from Veterans Affairs while he’s locked up in prison.
Kimberly Tempel, 44, of Tell City, allegedly lied on her application by saying she wasn’t already married and claiming that her “husband” was no closer than a second cousin, according to local ABC affiliate WPTA. In reality, Tempel filed for a marriage license to wed her biological dad, Bradly McCollom, 59, of Evansville, who is in prison on a probation violation. Police say she listed numerous inaccuracies on the application.
