Wisconsin father Ryan Borgwardt is believed to have faked his death and fled to Europe, Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll said.
A missing Wisconsin husband and father of three originally believed to have drowned in a local lake may have faked his own death and fled to Europe for another woman, authorities say.Ryan Borgwardt, 45, was last known to be on Green Lake on August 11. That night, he texted his wife and said he was turning his kayak around and was heading to shore but he never went home, Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll said in a news conference on Friday.
In January, Borgwardt took out a $375,000 life insurance policy and purchased an airline gift card.'I was totally shocked,' Podoll told ABC News on Monday. 'It was just unbelievable that we would have a case like this where some party actually staged his death.'As far as we know, he's someplace in Eastern Europe,' the sheriff told ABC News, noting that the search of Green Lake has ended.
