About Oliver Killeen

  • Oliver Killeen (born 13 June 1937 in Ireland) is an international bigamist and fraudster. He pretended to be a doctor of psychology in Waterford, Ireland for five years in the late 1990s conning thousands of people into believing he was a highly trained psychotherapist.
  • He also wrote articles for Irish newspapers during that time.
  • He had married numerous times but never divorced.
  • Eventually Killeen was convicted for bigamy in the United Kingdom in 2004, serving a 1 1/2 years of a 3-year sentence.
  • Barbara Daniels, one of Killeen's many wives, filed a bigamy charge against him in Superior Court in Ontario.
  • On March 1, 2012, Oliver Killeen pleaded guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to 90-days in jail (to be served on weekends).
  • The prosecutor said Killeen’s age, his guilty plea and fact he is working were mitigating factors to be considered in sentencing. In 2006 Agnieszka Piotrowska directed a documentary about Oliver Killeen for Channel Five titled Conman With 14 Wives (also broadcast as Trust Me I am a Conman in some territories) which led to a discovery of Killeen's subsequent bigamous marriage.
  • A Canadian documentary series was made titled The Devil You Know created by Vancouver-based production company Make Believe Media.
  • One of the episodes tells of Barbara Daniel's story of her marriage to Oliver Killeen and her daughter's fight to bring him to justice in Canada.
  • It is currently airing in Canada on the Viva channel and on the new channel OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).
