Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx faced pointed questioning from Piers Morgan during a heated interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," posted Tuesday, over what Morgan described as "probably the most contentious story" from Marx's past — his claim that he was forced to kill a man when he was seven years old.

Marx, an evangelical Christian speaker and founder of the humanitarian organization All Things Possible Ministries, built a public platform around his accounts of severe childhood abuse and trauma before entering Colorado's 2026 gubernatorial race. His backstory — detailed in his books and public appearances — has been central to his identity as a motivational and faith-based speaker, making the credibility of these claims newly relevant to voters evaluating his candidacy.

Morgan challenged the veracity of the account, noting that law enforcement in the Louisiana area where the alleged incident took place has found no corroborating evidence. "Local law enforcement and sheriffs in the [Louisiana] area where this event apparently took place have said there are no records, police reports, or unsolved homicides matching your account," Morgan said.

Marx stood by his story, describing the alleged incident in detail. "My stepfather, again, holding my hand around a pistol to a man who was handcuffed and on his knees, put his finger over the trigger and pushed it until the man was shot," Marx said. "I don't know who he was."

He added: "The best I can remember was that he looked like a homeless fella."

When Morgan pressed Marx on the complete absence of official records, the candidate explained that he had contacted authorities himself. "It's 40 years later and out of just a horrible conscience, I contacted the local sheriff's department, and they said, 'Where was the home?' I said, 'I don't know,'" Marx recounted.

Morgan then asked what had happened to the body. According to Marx, "There was a hole dug in the floor. It was a wooden house. There was a hole cut out and a hole underneath the floor, and he was pushed into it and buried."

"Come on, Victor," Morgan responded. "Did this really happen?"

"The real part of my soul died that day," Marx replied, prompting Morgan to point out that the supposed victim "actually died that day."

Morgan also asked Marx whether he would open an investigation into the killing if elected Colorado's next governor.

During the same interview, Marx was also pressed to defend a separate claim — that the same stepfather had once forced him to behead a cat.
